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!

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
