If she smoked or was on patches/gum, they quite possibly did (the nicotine, at least)

When I worked on The Sporting Life back in the day and we were based at the old Mirror building on Holborn Circus a colleague of mine would lie to his wife and tell her he had to be in the office early so he could go drinking in a pub at six in the morning by Smithfield Market. Half a dozen large De Kuyper's (Dutch gin, for that was his tipple) later and he'd stagger into the office at 9am all bright and breezy by half ten he'd be banging on the door of "The Stab" downstairs to be let in for round two. They usually obliged, for he was a good customer. There were a few Daily Mirror journalists who were known to do the same. I've done it myself after a mad night out back in the day. But the real breakfast of champions is a big fat line of cocaine washed down with a healthy swig of Jack Daniel's and a spliff to take the edge off. Been there and done that too. It ain't big and it ain't clever.


Also going back to the first morning gasper - when the body has been asleep for seven hours of so without a cigarette the body is craving for that first nicotine hit of the day and what a pleasure it is to the confirmed smoker.

binks, if there's a chance of a bit of smut and/or tales of debauchery, you can always rely on the EDf to rise to the occasion...

I love Jah's reminiscing. Cocaine breakfasts, oh gawd to those were daze - Ha ha!


Some parts of our lives seem like someone else lived them, I can remember smoking a fags in the shower once upon a time. Like fekk sake, the nights before were that heavy, it took the edge off the morning.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
