I have no argument with Narnia who has explained his reason for asking, but I agree with Huguenot. His argument seemed to me largely impersonal.

My question annaj to H was left to the end and in a new paragraph if I remember correctly, to distance it from the rest of the post and to avoid making it the trite response you refer to it as. I actually appreciated his post though it was coming from somewhere other than where I was at.


My son is fine.........I expect. He'd be on the phone otherwise.

I'm with annaj, i think Huguenots contribution was perfect and annajs response was equally well measured.

Her point also valid regarding your note of parenting as being some sort of qualification to provide a valued contribution?


Maybe all getting a bit too personal for an internet forum?


(i am a parent, if that qualifies me in anyway?)


Sorry if i missed anything.

Unfortunately this happens, at University or Colleges when you share a fridge part of student life I never had that experince I was living at home and then on my own I did not fancy sharing with anybody I tend to be a bit of a tidy freak and the horror stories I heard from other student remind me of the Young Ones sharing did not appeal to me back then.

It was young ones'ish in halls in the 80s IIRC. Everything in the communal fridge and areas was ... considered communal property. It was like school ... with no teachers in some ways. No TV in rooms - we watched Spitting Image in the shared lounge, No Internet (hadn't been invented), Kitchen full of unwashed pans and plates.


No outsiders could get in however, and we lived on the Kings Road (halls long since sold off). My local was the Worlds End if it wasn't Students Union happy hour (most nights it was).

    • This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.
