I do not like the Germans. They are aggressive, rude, often have excessive facial and underarm hair of which they are blatantly proud (and that is just the women) and occasionally wear very strange knee lenth leather trousers with bibs. They are not to be trusted. How dare they have such a thriving economy.


I do not like the French, their toilet facilities are an abomination - the doors are often too high off the floor and have a big gap all the way around. It is still possible to find hole in the ground toilets in France and the toilet paper is inhospitable and likely to inflict paper cuts.


I like hugs and I like Sean MacGabhan although I think he has been hormonal lately. I also like Mike Bate - he is good at hugging, I like Mark and Keef too (sigh). OK I like some girls as well, but that is purely platonic (bats eyelashes).

People who do good kind acts just because that's the way they are, not for status and not so they can tell everyone about it


Ordinary people, ie not on the telly, I meet who inspire me to be a better person or a more brave person


Slightly elderly gentlemen who smile at me in the street, say good morning, and make me feel like a "young lady" and politeness still exists


and yeah I have a weakness for Northerners too, I think this partly a familiarity thing which is comforting in the isolation of a big city. But I like the dark humour and the bluntness. Northerners are usually better out of the North though.

Totally agree with this, especially the last bit. I too have worked with a lot of Germans whilst living overseas, everyone with impeccable English. (better than mine - LOL)


Although I am in agreement with Mick Mac - French wines are the best (tu)

MM I also like the northerners, great sense of humour and they dont take themselves too seriously. While we are on the subject of the north, love the Northern Irish accent on guys. (sorry girls) Everytime I hear the accent, I feel like I am being serenaded.(sighing rather loudly) I have left my heart in Northern Ireland. (still sighing rather loudly)

    • Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?
    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!
