Does anything on here ever elevate above the facile?


A betting shop would not open in ED if they thought they were going to lose money.


ergo there is demand.


Maybe not from the morally-superior denizens of this here forum, but there is demand.

We should have a rule that says that one cannot become a peer until at least 10 years have elapsed since you were an MP or Govt official.


MM's simple rules to improve both houses of parliament:


1. To become an MP an individual has to demonstrate a minimum of 10 years in employment unrelated to direct politics - IE Political research, lobby groups and political consultancy won't count.


2. Life peers, if appointed, may serve for a maximum of two terms. On completion they may retain the title but not return to the House of Lords or the Commons.


Neither will ever come about but if they were enacted it might, just might, bring some common sense to the legislature and avoid some of the ridiculous and atrocious laws we currently endure.

I actually agree with the honk, more or less.


If there wasn't demand for it, I doubt it would be opening up. The existing bookies seem to do a reasonable trade (there always seems to be people in them), and I don't think that the local "demographic" is as clear-cut as some people think. And at least it will presumably provide a little bit of local employment.

I was being silly. Cordelia was a woman. Honk may be of either sex, or both, or none.


Well said, PGC! It takes genius to be delicately trivial.

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm

      If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
