Fake or not, anything that has the potential to suffocate Gareth Gates gets my vote...

I just saw it as bringing living history to the people.....


Plus, it is the only part of the RAF that is still serviceable......

Proceeds of crime act 2002


This allows for the confiscation of assets that have have accrued via the machinations of a criminal act. The Empire was a criminal organisation, involved in genocide and theft on a global scale


This act should be enforced to ensure the royals do not benefit from the actions of the original Evil Empire.

Actually, that's not true. George V changed the family surname from Wettin to Windsor in 1917. The dynasty was called House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and that was changed to House of Windsor at the same time.


Elizabeth II's real surname is, and always has been, Windsor. Though she should really be Mountbatten-Windsor by marriage, she decided to keep 'Windsor'.


Anyway, I always find that comment (and it's hardly new) more than a teensie bit racist. It's a bit like asking a black person born in Britain, "where are you *really* from". Or assuming someone whose grandparents were Chinese would speak Cantonese.

"well i dont no how you say god save the queen in German ,,but im sure she does". Hmmm.


And why did they change? Well, as I said, they changed it in 1917. What was the big news story that year?

Whilst on the subject of Racism let us take a look at The Union Jack.


Symbol of Empire and Imperialism. Of Oppression and adopted by ultra right wing extreem groups of Racists.


It is outdated and has no place in this day and age..


In 1606, the first Union Jack flag was created by merging the English flag

(the red cross of Saint George)

with the Scottish flag

(the diagonal white cross of Saint Andrew on a blue background).

Then, in 1801, the addition of Ireland to the United Kingdom added the Irish flag to the flag

(the red Saint Patrick's cross).


And with Scotland on the verge of Independence, the flag may soon have to go..

    • This thread brings back hazy memories from the early to mid-90s of a wine shop / off licence off Lordship Lane run by a bibulous chap who specialised in East European wines. It wasn't on a parade of shops but was on maybe Whateley Rd – or possibly Goodrich?? I used to walk past it when heading home from work and would drop in for a cheap bottle of Hungarian plonk. Someone tell me I'm not dreaming this... 🙂
    • The river Peck is partly underground if you live near the park and on its route
    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.
