You'd just have to front something like that out. Walking down the high street with your dangleros hanging through the neck hole, saying, 'hello, lovely evening isn't it,' and when challenged by the wife or mother, just tell her it's the latest trend and that all the fashionistas of Covent Garden are wearing leg pullovers

I used to commute from Leeds to Kings Cross and got the 6:40 on a Monday morning. Every week the same guy got on at Doncaster, sat next to me, put his suit jacket over himself (blanket style) and went to sleep.


We never said a peep to each other for over a year!

But you shaved his eyebrows & drew a mustache on with a felt-tip, right?


( then took a photo on your i-phone )

My dad used to roll a special little single skinner for his journey to work by tube,


he spotted a guy smoking a pipe so sat next to him thinking it would hide the smell of


his rollie substance. As the journey went on he felt everyone looking, thought about putting it out,


avoided staring directly at anyone, but hoped in his paranoia the guy with the pipe would get the blame.


It wasnt till he was getting off that he realised he was sitting next to Tony Benn.

    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
    • Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it.  If anyone sees/finds it please let me know.  Thank you!
