I love a bit of Jones. She is an attention whore (well, probably like most media celebs TBH) and must be hell to live/work with but she makes me laugh with her outspokenness.

Although I accept that we all have our political leanings, I tend to steer clear of people who froth, rabidly at the mouth at the mention of any particular mainstream newspaper - polarised and entrenched views don't normally allow for balanced and informed conversations.

Couldn't have put it better myself

the DM are not stupid - they know that the under 45s would not be seen dead with a hard copy of their rag, but have tailored their site to appeal to the younger set - and IIRC, it has overtaken the New York Times in the online readership league now. The online version is heavy on paparazzi type gossip, the hard copy less so. Reading the online version is an entry point for the interweb generation & the brain dead grazers - before they know it, they are calling for abu whatever to be executed by hanging in trafalgar square, dole cheats to be castrated and massed bleating about leylaandi hedges. Dont do the Mail in any form - you will crave more and more

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
