And for rag and bone man we now have lots of nice Eastern European men in large battered white vans ready to take metal goods from outside our houses.


Coal? Well it's still being delivered in London, although it's the smokeless variety and whilst its not the cleanest form of energy, stocks are now predicted to last until 2085.


I miss the 1980's. I would have loved to have been the age I am now back in 1985. I would have had a VW Golf and big shoulder pads on my double breasted suit. Drink/smoke my way through the day and still make a crust before driving home to my Soda Stream in my C5.

East Europeans, a bit of negative moaning. anyone want to tick the other boxes? Cycling, Cars , Traffic Lights Dog Mess, trees, Yummy Mummys. Noisy Partys? be nice to get them out of the way! Sorry almost forgot The Council wasting Money and one lot of Park Users moaning about another group of park users.

Foxy:

Polio. Common in many places.

Diphtheria. Ditto.

The Workhouse. Bangladesh, China,

Public Hanging. Iran.

Village Stocks. These are just plain lightweight compared to waterboarding and electrocution, so redundant !

Ducking Stools. Ditto

Witch Burning. Still prevalent in Orissa and West Bengal.

Thanks. I shall check out the shelves in the vasty orange halls of the overweening grocer at my earliest convenience and, should the information be reliable and the exercise be more than a futile ornament in the vapid catalogue of a broadly purposeless existence, report back accordingly.

What on earth are you blithering on about again TED? I was being factual. Not moaning. The rag and bone man still exists to save old bits of metal from landfill but just in a different demographic form (whatever that happens to be).
