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)

    • I believe around 57% of the 5,538 people who were part of the self selecting sample making up the original consultation, opposed the LTN. So just over 3,000 people. This was around 3 years ago now. I think there’s something like 40,000+ living across se22 and SE21 🤷‍♂️  The LTN is a minority interest at best. Whilst it’s an obsession for a small number on the transport thread who strongly oppose it, I suspect most locals quietly approve of the improvements made to that junction. …and we still haven’t heard who has supposedly been pressurising the emergency services and how (are we seriously going with the far left / the commies)? Is anyone willing to stand up and support the 'One' claim that people are partially covering their plates and driving through the filters due to inadequate signage? Again, it all sounds a little ridiculous / desperate. Feels like it may be time for them to start coming to terms with the changes.
    • Okay Earl, of those 'consulted' how many voices were in favour of the junction and how many against? Were there more responses in favour or more against? This local junction change is being driven by Southwark Labour Councillors- not as you assert by Central Govt. Also, if consultations are so irrelevant as indicators of meaningful local support in the way you seem to imply, why do organisations like Southwark Cyclists constantly ask their members to respond to all and any consultation on LTN's and CPZ's?  
    • You could apply the same argument to any kind of penalty as an effective deterrent.  Better than doing nothing. 
    • Check the link I provided above. It gives a very full account of where the push for LTNs came from, (in brief, central government). The consultation did not show that the majority of local residents were against the LTN. Not for the first time, you’ve confused a ‘consultation’ with a ‘referendum’. The outcome of local elections (which many opposed to LTNs excitedly promoted as a referendum on the scheme at the time…until they lost), suggests they are actually quite popular. All the polling on LTNs generally, also shows strong majority support across London.
