That is a great idea.....6 months of hard military training and some front line action. Although I do think there is too much alcohol and drugs in the army these days too.

Anyway I think military service should be bought back but changed to the peace core and everyone has to do a year of travelling to a part of the world that needs support, learning and exchanging skills and community building. That would really make a difference to people's lives

D'you know what Jamie - I think that an updated 'Peace Corps' idea would be brilliant! Although the Peace Corps has a bit of a 'drippy' image that could do with a bit of tweaking! (I remember them from when I was a kid, and they were almost embarrassingly earnest!).

Thanks Spymum,

As you have been so kind in your compliments I have had to take some time to read your blog and I must say that "manny's" would also be a great thing for young boys to be trained into. That would make them a bit more prepared for fatherhood and reduce gun crime, because they would be far to busy with chores and being adored by loving mothers than to be concerned with ego driven fueds!

LOL! Thanks Jamie - and so as not to get off point, England is a great country, a safe country and we musn't ghetto-ise it. Get out there, reclaim the streets, the local parks, mingle, talk and don't isolate yourself. The incident at West Dulwich train station adds to the scariness, but we are not living 'apart' American style yet, thank heaven.

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying. 
    • Hello, Does this lovely little panther have a name? & Is he neutered & microchipped?
