Not against The Monarchy. You can sing The national Anthem where ever / when ever you like.

It is sung at every major sporting event and so it should be.


I am just not interested in Another Royal Wedding.


If you want to party then Party. do not need a Royal Wedding to do that

I completely agree with all of that.


If there was a "Not the Royal Wedding" party I might go to it, but otherwise no way.


Which is why I suggested above, if people want a street party, why not have one with the rest of the country on the day of the Big Lunch. The weather is likely to be better, as well (was a lovely sunny day last year).

Fuck the royal wedding. To have a street party on Lordship Lane would prove to be impossible. Too much traffic and public transport. Have it on your on street if that's what you want just as long as it's not on mine.

Don't worry, Jah. The chances of the south circular being closed off to host a street party are exactly the same as those of M&S deciding to open a branch because fifty people on the local internet forum promise to buy a ready-meal twice a week.. ie, zero.

And I ask again - all you people who so want this street party, are you going to organise it? Including liaising with the council re road closure, doing risk assessments, arranging first aid provision, publicising it, providing entertainment and everything else that would be involved?


Because if not, how do you think it is going to happen?

I don't mind this happening (on a side street, not on Lordship Lane), as long as absolutely NO public funds are used including those associated with traffic diversion, policing, street cleaning etc. If people want something like this, fine, but they should pay for it, maybe by ticketed entry.

I have no interest in it but I wouldn?t want to side with the ?just say no to everything? brigade either


I don?t know why so many people want to identify with a couple they don?t know and will never know but enough people do to want a party, so have a party


If it?s on Lordship Lane I don?t see a problem with that either - anything different is always good for a laugh. You stick England in a world cup final and you won?t have to close Lordship lane, it?ll be deserted anyway, so if it gets closed for a party why not?

Initially it sounded a bit naff. And all the general gushiness is a bit nauseating. But a big street party at a time of national celebration would be great. The wedding itself would be incidental and it would have an ED twist. Have it on a side road though.

So let me ask again, all you enthusiastic people - which of you is going to organise it? Cos it surely aint going to happen by itself :))


And "a time of national celebration"? It's clear just from this thread that a lot of people won't be celebrating, including me. If only I could afford to, I'd be out of the country :))


Two people getting married. Hooray for them. So what?

Tell you what Sue I'll start the ball rolling.


I'll pony up several big tubs of M&S deli coleslaw, a dozen M&S baguettes, various M&S dips, let's say half a dozen litre packs of M&S juices (even unto mandarin orange) and a good selection of M&S cold meats.


But only if the M&S has opened on LL by the time the shindig is on.


Catch me dragging all that lot on the bus from Brixton? WITH MY KNEES?


I should bleedin' coco.

About as much chance of that happening as any of the people on this thread actually organising a street party, I'd say :))


I stand to be proved wrong, but whatever happens I deffo won't be going to it if it's got any connection whatsoever to this ******* wedding :))

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.

      And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.

      You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.

      I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
