Its no wonder I feel life is flying by, as soon as the summer has past, we are propelled straight towards xmas, there is Halloween & Bonfire night before then, and more than likely other celebrations that i cant think off. I love xmas, but i feel it been over stretched, and in doing so, it feels like i lose a couple of months of other life !!

You'd hate to know what I've been doing all week then..


Some bars up Leicester Sq already have their tree's up. Now that is stupid in my book, but presents on the shelf doesn't bother me. Just shut your eyes for the first aisle of Sainsburys I suppose..

I was in Selfridges on Monday and had a nice little wander round their Christmas shop. It's all if you build it, they will come stuff - they wouldn't if we didn't, so we've only ourselves to blame. I've seen research that says that some people start their Christmas shopping in July.


That said, I'm surprised more hasn't been made of Halloween. We're getting all American and ting - it's now the 3rd biggest sales opportunity of the year for the supermarkets. Bring on the pumpkins.

Even if you believe all the bible twaddle, you'd have to argue that it wasn't his birth that saved the world, but what he did afterwards.


Regardless, as any fule no, Christmas is mainly derived from the pagan mid-winter festival - conveniently hijacked by early politicians.


BUT - you can't knock 'goodwill to all men' etc.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By NewWave · Posted

      I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.

      The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
