Southwark Life

[James]

Can someone tell me what the point of Southwark Life magazine is? And how much of our council tax is paying for it? And whether I am turning into a grumpy old man?

You are turning into a grumpy old man James. We all have one inside us just waiting to get out.

[James]

Just kick me if I start saying things like "You couldn't make it up!" or "It's political correctness gone mad!"

What I love about 'Southwark Life' is that it is always delivered after two thirds of the events have happened. Perhaps it's an experiment in deja vu?

I rent two garages and so get this magazine in each of the rent statements AND get it sent separately to me. That way they can say they send it out to thousands of people when really they're sending LOADS out to just a few. Yes, it is full of things telling you of something exciting... about to happen last week. And it's always full of shiny happy faces often next to Kim Humphreys and it's a PR exercise (public relations not Peckham Rose) and it winds me up because when I paid the garage rent the other day in the cash office there were heaps of SE15 magazines with similar types of articles. I don't get sent those curiously. Even though I live in SE15. What are we to do with Southwark Council, eh?
