Hugenot moved away from ED to the Far East many moons ago to make his fortune probably after being educated at great expense by the British State he continues to frequent and comment freely on a local forum which indicates he probably has too much time on his hands and is missing the old place.Dont worry about him he is undoubtedly very intelligent and in typical alpha male style is determined to be right in logic at every turn. This usually results in a friendless situation which means you spend excessive time on internet forums. Jacks did a great job , are real people and are sorely missed but Im sure they ll be back in some context and contributing to the British economy in some way or other. Its not about being right Hugenot its about being happy which are not neccesarily the same thing.

If the opening post is polite, there should be a polite response. If the opening post contains insults about another poster or (say) their family, then of course that doesn't apply.


And I think that you know that, *Bob* (can't do smileys but just imagine a smiley!)

Yes, but then as you can see for yourself, the useful, polite debate found on the first page or two has been entirely de-railed by the usual, predictable, chippy attack on those "awful", "stuck-up" middle class "snob" parents and (sure as eggs) their "snotty obnoxious" children - and predictable fallout thereafter.



I am imagining smileys, as we speak.

Well I see your point ZT, and that's why I'm thinking you maybe haven't had time to read the thread?


Here's m&m fairy's opening comment:


I'm not pigeon holing everyone in ED but by god there is an awful lot of stuck up, pretentious people living here.

Billy Connolly hit the nail on the head when he was quoted saying - "he gets on well with working-class and upper-class as both groups of people had nothing to prove to anyone; the working-class knew who they were; the upper-class had so much money they had no need to prove anything."

Too many middle class snobs In ED and their gaggle of snotty obnoxious children running around trying to rule the world.

KFC, McDonalds, Primark & Wetherspoons on the high street? it's just round the corner!


And here is my follow up:


You've confused yourself m&m fairy - if the middle classes are 'snobs' they wouldn't be shopping at Primark, eating at McD's and drinking at Wetherspoons would they?


Am I right in saying you used to run Jack's cafe serving frittatas and pastrami (surely the snack du jour of the middle class snob)? Hating your customers and abusing them on social media probably won't help your business much?


I hope you'll agree that besides highlighting the hypocrisy of her being willing to take the middle class pound at the same time as insulting them behind their backs, my response was the very soul of temperance.

Haha... I reckon H would admit that when he disagrees with someone on here, he tends to go for the jugular. I've certainly been on the end of it a few times.


But on this occasion I do agree with his point.

Stop your bickering and pigeon holing people, or I will get Bouncer on to you!


M&M fairy: God still loves you. Even if a lot of people with kids in ED don't (now).


Jeremy. Your earlier comment about loud-mouth, rugby watching " Claphamites" .......seems to have been wiped. Anyway...Don't generalise or we will have to put you in that not-so-clever camp with M&M.


Cheerio then.

Really? Strange.


I've nothing against Clapham, or people who watch rugby... I only find a specific subset of loud-mouthed faux yuppies - swaggering around wearing rugby shirts with upturned collars - rather foolish.

    • You may have seen an article in the paper today about Jewish leaders and notables calling on the UN and world leaders to sanction Israel [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/22/jewish-notables-open-letter-un-sanction-israel], "... Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over what they describe as “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza. Over 450 signatories, including former Israeli officials, Oscar winners, authors and intellectuals have signed an open letter demanding accountability over Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The letter’s release comes as EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday amid reports they plan to shelve proposals for sanctions over human rights violations. “We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust,” the signatories write. “Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.” ..."   There is also a petition we can sign to support them in their call for justice: Direct link: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stand_with_jews_demand_action_loc_cp1/?tUwBCsb&v=502713833&cl=22394973010&_checksum=7dc99acb5dd4fc5a43a24e21772f51005ea239753e9ae3033d9f79ffd6119559 "For the first time since the ceasefire, a powerful coalition of Jewish voices have come together, urging world leaders to keep the pressure up until real accountability and freedom are achieved.Their call can shift the political mood and give leaders courage to act decisively -- Amplify their voices and stand with them: The demands of Global Jewish Voices: To respect and abide by the decisions of the International Court of Justice, noting their application also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem; to apply arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court; and to resist efforts to unduly pressure and influence and prevent the workings of both courts. To refuse any complicity in continued crimes and violations of international law against Palestinians by Israel, including by ending the provision of arms and other relevant goods and services; to use relevant leverage, including targeted sanctions on governmental bodies and individuals responsible for violations of international law, and suspension of relations with commercial entities contributing to these violations. To ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches all Palestinians in Gaza at the scale that is commensurate to their vital need, that the blockade is lifted and materials for reconstruction enter, and that there is a full Israeli military withdrawal. To refute false accusations of antisemitism that abusively deploy our collective history to tarnish those with whom we stand together in the pursuit of peace and justice. If you are of Jewish heritage you can also sign here, and we will add the number of your voices to support the Jewish call for justice. Posted: 22 October 2025"  
    • I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets. 
    • What mandatory action would then be required of them?
