or - be brave and dont pick them up in the first place - they are shite anyway / tittle tattle / sleb gossip /advertorials /txts speak quickies / unfunny viral pictutres /


all complete and utter shit.


The fast food version of reading - news for grazers and mobile phone fetishists


take a book or buy a paper - if you pay for a daily, it usually follows that you take ownership for it and dispose of carefully.

both absolutely true - but I don't think all the people who currently use 'em think the same. Does my head in as well


When I go to NY and get the freebies there the quality is fantastic - some of them anyway. But they are weekly. And aen't shoved into every commuters hands (that's the bit I object to most)

Like SeanMacG, I also object to how aggressive the street vendors are in trying to get you to take one of their crappy papers.


I have so little "me" time in a working day (don't we all) and in days gone by I used to look forward to a quiet walk (to/from the office to the bus stop, sandwich shop etc). I genuinely found these snatched moments in the "fresh" air to be therapeutic and calming. These days if you work in central London you can?t walk down the street without someone stopping you for something or other. I really find this invasive ? I just want to have a moment with my thoughts. Too much to ask?

    • We have a very large plastic (terracotta colour, weathered) flowerpot/planter we don't need if you're interested? Height 18" x Width (at top) 21". Would need to be collected from Landcroft Road
    • table for sale and can also extend out £150
    • The other thing I do at an ATM, is cover the card slot with my right hand while the card is in there. I then use my left hand for the rest. If a card does not come out, then you can look for a skimming device and remove it, ATMs are badly designed imo. They could be recessed to make side sccess impossible for a would be theif. The pin number aspect is a weakness also.
    • It's a criminal offense. CICs can't fundraise on the street - they're a less regulated form of organization and that lighter touch means you can't do certain things until you commit to greater regulation.   If you want to fundraise on the street then you need to become a charity. if they have mislead a shop by stating that they are a charity, they're breaking criminal law. if they're on the pavement, again they are not licensed to do that and are breaking the law.
