"Oy!! My Razzle is in that Manifesto. Its a "Dulwichmum" original"


*Thankfully Mrs T is strangely impervious to fire, probably a good, all things considering*


"Has anybody got the key to the gun room? My elephant gun is stored there and I need to put a newbie out of our misery. Ah yes here it is, under the half full soda stream bottle"


*Opens lavvie door, grabs Manifesto/Razzle off red devil. Hand Manifesto back*


"Sorry! Meant to mend that lock years ago, Mrs Dobbin the lactating donkey kicked it open when suffering from mastitis. Nice undies by the way"


*Settles in comfy chair with Razzle, elephant gun, gun-oil and rags*


*Whistles tunelessly*

*Outside door am nearly knocked over by 'Rags'* - (pedigree fox-cat-cross and leader of the Fellbrigg Rd wolf pack)


*-who shoots out of newly-installed cat flap* - (I'm a dab-hand with a router, MDF, & a 360 hinge - it also scares Woody away)


*-fleeing awful whistled version of Dark Horse by George Harrison*


*-and overpowering smell of gun oil and bhaji liniment*

Albina wafts in for a touch of damp dusting but decides a total refit is in order. 3 drives past with an industrial floor sander, 2 coats of industrial floor varnish and 6 litres of Farrow & Ball Elephant's Breath later and she can finish off by damp dusting the plantation shutters.


Hurrah! Next year will be the best year ever. Looking forward to the best New Years party this postcode has ever seen (faints).

I'd suggest something retro yet daring-


A Windolene white-out with finger-written messages (according to season etc.) and an optional newspaper/sellotape collage over the hole where the xpelair was.

I see that your skin care regime has become more assertive in your twilight years. Good to have you back I was rather expecting to see you in a "Those that have passed in 2013" article in People Friend.

    • I'm wondering if I can justify a visit due to calories burned walking there and back😜
    • Oooh! Hot chocolate! Thank goodness it isn't nearer! I'd have doubled my weight in a month 😄
    • Before going to Social Media it is always worth checking out the details: Southwark's spending for this year: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-tax/how-we-manage-council-tax/our-budget-and-how-we-spend-council-tax/our-income-and As you will see, as with most if not all London Boroughs, shed loads goes on social care and children's services.  The cost of paying for residential care, and for 'specialist schools is massive.  As with other boroughs they have been hit hard by austerity under the coalition government.  And the failure by successive governments to sort out social care.  That is a thread all in its own rights. Local authorities of all political persuasions across England are facing tough times, several have gone into administration: Birmingham, Woking, Thurrock, Croydon, Slough, Northamptonshire, and Nottingham and 11 are on bailouts.   Covid will not have helped.  Some will have made some poor investment decisions in the past eg Thurrock and Woking;  Some total mismanagement and one has been hit by historical debt through not paying their workers fairly (Brum).   Reform promise simple solutions to cutting spending.  Not that easy is it Nige?
