Have you ever stood on Lordship Lane on a Saturday and eavesdropped on the conversations of passers-by?


It's a steady flow of people congratulating themselves (and each other) on where they live.


Give it a go. It's a hoot! (You can pretend you're making a phone call - for cover - if you like).

Hee Hee.. as a matter of fact, I was guarding a child (our own, I hasten to add) whilst waiting for *someone* to come out of a shop. But the eavesdropping bit really was most entertaining.


The other thing I noticed for the first time were groups of tourists/out-of-towners - in abundance. Idling down the Lane, window-shopping and checking out the menus like they're on holiday in Spain or something.

how the hell did "I" get dragged into this?


tcha - but yes, more people, more coo-ing. I was in Black Cherry a few weeks back on a busy Sat night, supping some pureed chips through a straw. Mrs Mockney got talking to some Mancs an asked what they weere down for. They said just a weekend in London - so she said fair enough but why ED.. They said the area is now well know around the country as a top night out...

Seriously.. Keep an eye-out for 'em. Weekend day-trippers.

I can understand how you go to Tooting for the curry, Brixton and Clapham for the bar and club scene, Greenwich for the river, museums, markets, and Streatham for the.. er.. ok not Streatham.


But ED? Perhaps it's a new sport. Pram-dodging.

There's a woman whos on my bus when I get on at Vauxhall... Every bloomin' morning she's on her fone talk to some member of her long extended family discussing her teenage sons new girlfriend, school results, hockey team arguments before moving on to her great great aunt (twice removed) who live in the south of France who has troubles wiv her "water" :| I tell ya the things I know about that woman's life!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
