"just yesterday I received a free spanner in the post after I complained to the manufacturer that they changed the spanner's finish from satin chrome to polished chrome."


Gold, pure gold.

DC has nailed it. I do learn new things pretty and often my approach to life means that I interact with genuine people in the know. I've also been fortunate in working for an organisation that dealt with issues such as housing, planning, education, resilience, business, crime & drugs, children services, sustainability, transport with links to 12 central government and Number 10. Managing partnerships with GLA, London Councils, local authorities, Chambers of Commerce, etc. I've listened to Prime Ministers, SoS, Perm Secs, Director Generals, ministers and other senior officials.


@LLC,


I do realise that I'm different from most people in that I'm ahead of the curve but 'odd' is not the right word to describe me. Most people are not very good dressers/shoppers and listen to commercial music so why would I want to be like them?


Over the years I have learnt that my biggest critics tends to be ones who are either inept, style challenged or simplistic thinking thickos. What they know isn't worth knowing.


I also look about 27 years of age and fit. So the Alan Partridge comparison isn't true in my case.


So the next time you see someone attempting to ridicule, ask yourself whether they fall into the following categories: inept, style challenged or simplistic thinking thickos. Or perhaps re-read this thread in a different light.

Since this is the UDT quotes thread, check this classic:

I'm thinking UDT reckons Pseu-Pseu-Pseudio is some of their finest work but really likes Heuy Lewis and the News.


His business cards are also excellent.

    • I have no agenda just a simple response expressing my thoughts and experience.  
    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.
