The reason why the coverage of the English floods this year, as harrowing as they may have been for the residents of those areas, was as per usual disproportionate. Now if we had one of these I could understand the apocalyptic shrill made by the red tops: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7071666.stm

Unfortunately happens with all the time. If it doesn't affect people, they don't hear about it. The only reason it get's so much coverage in the States is because hurricanes are such big news after Katrina & it might make landfall there. The US media didn't have much about Gonu.


Whenever the storms would bounce off of Florida & head into the Atlantic they report on them heading out harmlessly into the ocean & that everyone was safe. Except for the poor little island right in it's path!!

      Celia Hammond - Just giving fundraiser - Autumn neutering

      By beansprout · Posted

      Years ago, I adopted a moggie from Battersea… thought it was 6:7 but was actually 10… great mog though… no checks at all as in home check.. spoke to me about cat ownership, had several before, paid my money and off we went. I do get what they are trying to do totally and agree.. having said that, RSPCA think that is the one, Near cemetery in Norwood, until last year was offering free microchipping & s’thing else… Realistically, really is a drop in the ocean as more cats in London and surrounds… was just totally surprised as to the amount and obv each area is different ….

      Has David Lammy just lost his job?

      "Surely easy enough for a native like yourself " assumptions, assumptions, assumptions, not a good starting point.  Now as we've been getting along so well, let's not spoil it. We can be the same but different as well.  I speak like a native, educated like a native, worked as and with other natives, look like a native but I'm not one of them. See theirs this thing called indirect prejudice, have a surname that isn't that of a native and some, a minority I agree, will try and have one over on you, because they think they're better, or you're inferior to them. When you've experienced it first hand, you don't forget and get ready for the next time, then call it out, they don't like that.  They don't appreciate that being part British having been born here but as I also have  continental ancestry, which I am proud off, it gives me a different perspective of living amongst the natives here, so I can not, nor do I ever want to be a native here. I am me and they are what they are.

      EVRi returns at ED post office

      By personannrose · Posted

      Are parcels for EVRi now being accepted at East Dulwich post office? On Monday I tried to return something there but, because Evri hadn’t collected  all the returns from the previous day, there was no space for any more and I had a wasted journey 😤

      It’s allowed. Just weirdly unnecessary.  Surely easy enough for a native like yourself  or do we  foreigners have to teach ye everything?
