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).

    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
