Have you changed anything you do or the way you think as a result of anything on this forum?


A small example occurred to me today as I got off the bus and picked up all of my newspaper - I used to leave the sports section and anything else I was finished for "others to read" but having been picked up on by (I think) Alan Dale and looking at the general mess on buses anyway I started to collect and take everything with me - dunno if that's any better or not but I wouldn't have changed my behaviour if it wasn't for discussion on here


Anyone else got any (and better) examples?

It's definitely changed the way I feel about the area, just my perception I'm sure, but I feel more of a sense of belonging and community. But that's a bit wishy-washy and I think you're looking for more definite answers, so lets see.

A year ago I would never have been brave enough to go to a pub to meet a group of people I'd never met and I had no idea how to make new friends. Most of our friends had moved away or settled down with young children and I was worried I might start to feel isolated. Definitely don't feel like that now.


Also, have had reusable bags for ages, but make much more of an effort to take them out now, not because I think it'll change the world, but because I can't face the disapproval ;-)

It has made me feel that I'm part of 'Forum Village life'

I feel like a member of a nonexistent club.

Like annaj said, it makes me feel differently about the area but in a good way.

I am getting out more, into a local pub every month getting as drunk as a skunk and sick as a dog, yes it has improved my life enormously.

I have bought products from shops recommended from here, that I otherwise would not have discovered.

I sit at the front of the house more in front of the computer screen, when I would normally have been at the rear watching the tv screen, so I am getting more exercise;-)

    • I notice that Southwark Council is inviting anyone with the odd few quid to "fund local climate work" focusing on such projects as "key nature recovery projects and green upgrades to schools". It's a little vague to me. Does anyone have any knowledge on the specifics? Does anyone here have examples of these projects that are coming down the road?
    • A big thank you to John who recently did a few jobs in our kitchen, including coming back a number of times to get to the bottom of a long-running issue with our pipes! His attention to detail is second to none. His number is 07557907729 and I would absolutely recommend him for any kitchen fitting work.
