Oh, MrBen, with a name like that, I would have thought you'd be well into diverse fashions. Which begs the question: why, oh why, oh why are you always so very perplexed by other people's attire?


Get thee into the cupboard and come yourself out a cowboy / astronaut / frolicsome wench.


Meantime, consider this: http://www.vogue.co.uk/blogs/the-vogue-blog/2011/09/17/the-cats-pyjamas---j-w-anderson-show


Pyjamas are the very thing (at least they were last year - ED's never been the land of the early adopter).

I saw a woman in PJ's on LL today. She looked very tired/hungover/fed up. I'm cool with that; in fact I think it should be a condition of wearing PJ's in public. Cleanly shaved or freshly made up or perfectly hairstyled suggests an effort has been made, and effort and PJ's don't go together.

I'll do the last one of those if you meet me in Peckham Aldi in your rollers in some furry man made PJ's with penguins all over them and your sheepskin ugg-a-likes.

Me? Uggs? The very idea! I'd sooner don a pair of Crocs. But I'll put on a onesie and my agent provocateur marabou heels and meet you by the Monster Munch (emergency hangover rations...)

Not strictly "to the shops" but the bloke down the road sports the following on a regular basis:


Stripey PJ bottoms pulled up over his navel


Vest, but usually a bare chest


Bottle lens glasses


Brown slip on leather shoes (chisel toe)


No socks



All this whilst standing outside his house in full view & smoking a Benson.

    • a (clean) nappy/pamper, it was like it had snowed in the garden.  The absorbent stuff inside spread everywhere.  Can I have my gardening gloves back please.
    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
