Just another symptom of a bigger ED illness associated with being seen in specific locations to fit in with the 'cool kids'. Whether it be eating at a restaurant on opening night, walking down the lane on a weekend afternoon looking at people hoping they're looking back at you, or queuing for a product which you could have got in Sainsbury's et al weeks ago. Yep, the 'look at me' illness can be blamed on sneering older/working class people judging others, or it can be taken at face value for what it is. Place ya bets now!

I may open a shop that sells absolutely nothing, but it'll have a line of people waiting to be seen. Appointments to 'be seen' can be booked and bags stuffed with paper, to make it look like you've got 'something' will be included in the deal.


Or who'd have thought that a tiny shop that sells stuff for the Xmas holiday, might get busier than normal and you'd have to wait outside

I know, quite mad, but so so maddening for those who are just there to be seen being there. I mean, what are the real shoppers doing getting in the way, buying cheese for Christmas, then going home. I ask you.


Do yourself and other a festive favour Lou. Turn the heat down, stop exhausting the rubbish from your brain for a bit. Don't you know its a holiday that some have worked for.


And those people will go back to work soon, while you'll yet again flick the TV on and recover on the sofa from the nite before, on your own.

Too late dear Seabag, they had those back in the day in Russia where the single whisper of food being in a shop started a queue even if there was nothing there...


I guess Louisa would rather replace places like the cheese shop with poundcheeseland or icecheeseland ! 😳

Lou's quite right - I've seen those 'look-at-me' little old ladies queuing outside the Post Office in the morning - before it's even open! Not to mention those 'look-I-use-public-transport!' types that love to be seen queuing at bus stops - bloody show offs.

Same old, same old shite.


Really tedious and really objectionable.

To be honest.. Let's look at the options...


1. Queue up for 20-30 mins to get served at one of the local independent outlets.

Get to your turn to find sold out of want you want. ?


2. Shop at one of the large Supermarkets and queue for 20 - 30 mins to pay.

Get to pick what you want. Choose the item that best suits you.

I know, beats me.


I just eat the same as I eat the rest of the year, and force everybody else in the family to do the same. I can't understand why anybody would do anything else.


Something special for Christmas? Bizarre.


Why would something from a specialist cheese shop be any better than a chunk of mild Cheddar from the Co-op wrapped in plastic?


And as for queuing to get it, well clearly those people are far more interested in being seen than in buying food.


I am going to stop going out in ED, in case somebody sees me and thinks I am only walking down the road in order to be seen in ED.


Going to put a smiley now, in case anybody takes my post seriously. Here it is:

Well.. Christmas to me was just another Sunday.. and Sunday is just another day..


I eat the same things as I would on any other day.. Nothing special..


I don't eat MORE than I normally would. I don't drink MORE (Alcohol) than I normally would.


Christmas means nothing to me..


...and NYE. I will drink what I drink on any given day. a couple of pints and perhaps a drop of Rum. ?

...and hopefully get home before midnight and miss all the idiots staggering home and puking every where.


Cannot wait for it all to be over.

It's a lovely thought Foxter, but many people often buy cheese and stuff in a quaint way.


The old eyecrometer is often employed "Hmm a beit more to the left, right a bit" when judging how much cheese or pate a person might want to buy.


So buying in a supermarket is fine if the selection is good, but I'd bet many people go to places like the cheese block to see help with choosing. It's like if you think you like Edam, the shop might suggest you try Jarlesberg too. That's not the case in most supermarkets.

What a load of old rubbish. Pay double what you'd pay in the supermarket for the same/similar item(s), and probably end up taking home more than you initially wanted/needed. And apparently get service with a smile according to some above. Yep I'll stick to the supermarket thanks. I don't need to be seen buying stuff, Christmas or no Christmas.

Presumably you're on view in a supermarket too, no?


I'm sure dozens of people saw me in Waitrose Marylebone high street, buying my cheese. Great selection and pricing.


Louisa is just being the same bitchy old cow she's always been. Same old insecure "me clever, them stupid" gig.

      Latest One Dulwich update

      By vladi · Posted

      @Earl, Be assured, it is purely a local group. In fact it is a genteel group of Dulwich area residents, mostly ladies , who are a little  reluctant to publish their individual names as they do not wish to be targets for hostility from internet trolls. Local residents who attended the anti-LTN gatherings in Dulwich would have easily recognised the active members of the group. Should you have any queries about funding, it is quite easy to send them an email.

      Wanted: Old Wheelbarrows

      Hi  I have a spare old wheelbarrow that you could have for free. You’d need to come and collect it from Telegraph Hill, so drop me a message if you’re still looking and we can arrange a time best wishes carrie

      This is quite a serious allegation. What evidence is there of this? Pressured how and by whom? This is quite a spin on ‘it’s been agreed with the emergency services’. They think the vehicles pictured driving through with partially covered plates are the result of ‘poor signage’ 🤔  If it is as they say ‘small numbers’ driving through the square, that doesn’t suggest that the signage is unclear. I mean who honestly believes it’s possible to drive through there without noticing the signs / planters (assuming you’re driving with due care and attention)?! 🤨  Also, haven’t ‘One’ opposed any improvements to the layout / landscaping and signage proposed by Southwark? It’s all a bit desperate. At the height of the LTN ‘controversy’ a number of co-ordinated ‘One’ groups popped up across London. It doesn’t feel like a local grassroots movement, but has all the hallmarks of astroturfing. The lack of transparency about it’s funding / sponsorship and structure does not help with this impression.

      Hi there, My children and I are adopting 4 ex-battery hens and seeking a secondhand home for them, let me know if you have anything, of any style that might fit four feathered ladies in. I can collect at your convenience this weekend or during the week.    Warmest, Hannah
