You know in The Simpsons, when Mr Burns touches something fresh (for instance a flower, or food in the canteen) and it turns to rotten slime, does anyone else think of woodrot?


Let a little sunshine into your soul, man. There are over a million words in the English language, and only one of them is Grinch.

Wellington was I think born in Dublin but was not Irish - "If a man is born in a stable, does that make him a horse?" or words to that effect.


He considered himself "born an Englishman" no doubt.


I'm not sure I'd consider being born an Englishman to be first prize though. There is not a day goes past when I don't take time to thank the Lord that it did not happen to me.

So poms are bigger dicks than yanks?


I'll buy that. Where does it leave Australealanders?

      I will buy you a frothy coffee from anywhere you like on Lordship Lane if that happens. Most of these costs never get recovered from the drivers that caused them. The photo shows a car that's been left on the zigzags protecting the crossing. Pedestrians crossing East to West and drivers heading South won't see each other until the pedestrians are in the road. That is a dangerous position to leave a car in. (I don't know if it's stil there, obviously).

      Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.

      When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.

      I wouldn't like to speculate, Sue. Not my thing. Teddy Boy is your man on the ground for that sort of first-hand detail. It's six points for driving without insurance and six points for using a phone, so that's an automatic ban of at least six months. They're going to be practically uninsurable for a considerable period after that. So, nobody's hurt, a clearly crap driver is off the road for some time and the good burghers of SE22 get a lovely, shiny new post - probably paid for by the driver. Every cloud, and that. If only Franklins wasn't changing hands, Lordship Lane would be almost perfect.
