Good that London Transport is doing this. The old style buses were great, although I remember when the lower deck was full you had to go upstairs to the top deck. Smoking was still allowed on the top deck up until around 40 years ago (not sure about that date) but just remember sitting in a sea of smoke when I had just finished work!

Think it was only after the Kings Cross fire that smoking on buses and tubes was banned. Seems totally mad in retrospect.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Gosh, that is a blast from the past.  Friends in York were into this, he was an accountant and had things like decorating done in exchange.  Not sure if it was equivalent in terms of hours, and I recall HMRC being interested as it was a way of tax avoidance.   A link for a London wide scheme but have no idea of its popularity: https://www.londonwide.letslink.org/members/index.php

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Posted around 12 cards 2 weeks prior to 24th December. Had some responses so know people have received them. Had about 20 cards - mixture of hand delivered and via post. After years of 'nagging' by myself and our daughters, we may have cured hubby of spending £4 plus on individual cards for our immediate family  ( when you have 12 immediate family it costs a bomb) Also as the girls state, they get put in the recycling bad at beginning of January regardless of cost.

      There was a LETS scheme in ED and it ran for a couple of years or so. Trying to remember when it was pre 2000?  A couple of friends joined it, one did baby sitting for exchange for ironing, the other did small painting jobs or simple gardening. There was a set criteria regarding credits,
