Well you have PGC, as anybody who knows you will attest.


Anyway, according to the midwife when my very beautiful granddaughters were born, it's not "ginger" or "red", it's "strawberry blonde" :)


Have to own up, I got very short shrift from my daughter when I called the first one "gingernut", never made that mistake again :))


Been drinking wine? Not me :))

My other half has dark brown hair, but when he doesn't shave for a few days some of his beard comes through ginger.


Another reason he should shave more often - not that there is anything wrong with ginger hair (I dye my hair to emphasis the reddish tones), but it looks odd having facial hair that doesn't match that on your head!

Am I odd, when younger, my friends all loved blond fellas, thought I was mad when said I prefered red headed or dark haired fellas.


My Dad was ginger, my hair was a very dark auburn between the ages of 11- 23 when became brown, I have a red headed daughter whose hair turned brown in her late 20s, a strawberry blond son and grandaughter and a ginger grandson.( I have always wanted a red headed g/son)


When daughter was younger she used to go out with her fella and they were often accompanied by boyfriend's sister and his best friend - all of them had red hair of varying shades

My beautiful red-haired friend with her red-haired husband, his two red-haired brothers and their wives (one of whom, disappointingly, is a mere blonde) and their collective brood of a total of 7 red-haired children recently visited Legoland together. Apparently people thought they were a conference of sorts.

      Police Incident outside Rose Fish/Parade East Dulwich Roas

      Digital rubber necking ?  That's a meaningless phrase. The OP merely was seeking information.

      Peckham Palais

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      Reviving this to say that Palais is now up and running.  We went to a night there yesterday.  It is a first floor bar with cocktails and space for a DJ.  That I think is intended to be a quieter space for an older/more chilled crowd.  There is also a basement club space that can hold 500, it has an amazing sound system. The communal areas are still a bit rough and ready, they still need to do some replastering and painting on the stairways and there is currently no functioning lift.   But generally it was well run and thoughtfully restored. It was good to see the space back in use and it feels like a good addition  to that end of Peckham. Interestingly, showing a shift in night time cultures, there were signs about not using mobile phones and everyone had to get a blocking  sticker put on their phone camera lens before they were allowed in.

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.
