Oh dear we're getting into Swiss Toni territory here aren't we. Anyway, buying a car like making love to a beautiful woman...etc etc. She had a lovely chassis actually Lozzy and underneath that bonnet was well oiled engine that put in a high performance....I'll get me coat.
S'funny, I was just looking at the spelling of...that word and realised it could do without the 'c'. Thanks for pointing it out though Honalucheebee, now get your sorry ass into pedants corner with that Lynn Truss and her team of hair-splitting superheroes. Ever get the feeling that the original thrust(ooer) of your thread has been hijacked by a bunch of Finbar Saunders types?

Sorry old thing, but I was merely having some fun, I assumed your original post was made in the spirit of, well, genuine frustration but at the same time humourous intent. I'm quite happy to have my ass in Pedant's Corner (see you neglected to capitalise and missed the apostrophe. Although there are some who would have it as Pedants Corner, or indeed Pedants' Corner) but I don't see why you seem to be having a pop at me. I'm confident that Lynne Trusse wouldn't approve of me any more than you seem to do. And as for Finnbarr Saunders and what he does, I'd best be taking my large purple rooster and putting it somewhere near a cat. That's the best I can do as far as the innuendo is concerned so no fear there.

Regards

Not sure about nobody, but you're a somebody with an opinion.

I'm still puzzled as to what point I incurred your wrath. Was it it the first two posts?

Was it the one about the porches?

Tell me, I'm very keen to know.

Seriously.

Porches? Wow, sorry if you get the feeling that I'm sitting here stewing in a puddle of angry juices, just a bit'o'banter s'all. Apply a cold flannel to your forehead and watch an episode of Heartbeat or something equally soothing. I shall worry you no more. ;-)

Just to head back to the original thread topic in my Asperger-like fashion...


To quote from a Campagnolo (nice cycle parts) enthusiasts' website:


'The Japanese have design with Kaizen. This word means continuous improvement in a product. They take a design and optimize it to the last degree.'


This in the cycle world at least, explains why Shimano are constantly changing their designs and rendering the old ones obsolete/incompatible. Effing annoying if you want that old part to be working years later. The Italians (Campagnolo) are a different matter.


And anyway, where can I get a new top for my Russell Hobbs coffee grinder?

Certainly an element of adolescence in some of these posts - possibly built-in by nature or acquired by nuture, who can tell?


Certainly my chewing gum loses its flavour on the bedpost over night which is bloody outrageous and a damning condemnation of our times.

    • This problem has been going on since before Covid due to the closure of the Dulwich sorting office. The local MP Ellie Reeves is aware and has written to the Post Office. They give the same generic responses about 'temporary' staffing issues. Would encourage people to email Ellie Reeves. It's about time this was finally resolved!
    • Sorry to hear you are having issues. Fwiw, we received a regular letter this week. Maybe it's worth asking at the Dulwich delivery office (it's in West Dulwich, though. Their phone number is 03457740740) to see if there are aware of any issues in your particular area?  I've seen cases in the past were the a particular postie was sick and they didn't cover for them, they just let everything accumulate for a couple of days until the person was back.
    • Mal, it is related to this issue and if you scroll back a few pages you will see that Brockwell was brought up in relation to this (not by me I hasten to add). Do you not think it seems perfectly reasonable for people to be able to reference a neighbouring event - one that is having a number of challenges not too dissimilar to the ones Gala is having?     These sentences from the BrixtonBuzz article I linked seem very pertinent too:  The concern, they argue, is not just about permits, but about the Council’s repeated failure to follow proper planning processes and its habit of acting in the interests of commercial promoters rather than the local community.   And this: The group is now calling on residents to write to their local MP and councillors, accusing the Council of using legal mechanisms to avoid scrutiny.
    • Mal, like it or not, it does have some bearing on other councils. There was an item about it on Times Radio on Sunday - Kate Borsay, a presenter who lives locally, referenced Peckham Rye in relation to the Brockwell case. As the reporter pointed out, local councils will all be talking to each other and closely following how things unfold. If a precedent is set with Brockwell, other councils will be under greater scrutiny.
