Yeah, then we could lock him in the cellar and get him hooked on Heroin(finer temptress) like Gene Hackmans character in French Connection II, then we could get Kathy Bates to Hobble him, then..then..then we could get Hannibal Lecter to eat his liver with some fava beans and a little Chianti(although what with him being a dour presbyterian Scot, maybe Irn-Bru would suffice)...oh,what would you 'say' to him...f**k off Jock or something.

Or I think I'd ask him to hold the line and then go off and find my 'Mr T' talking keyring and play various of the good man's phrases down the 'phone to him. It's good inasmuch as whenn the button is hit repeatedly it has the same effect as 'scratching' a record. 'IIIII piiiity ttttttthhheeee foooool' and so on.

Nothing to do with politics, or whether I think he might be a good PM but just the way I treat cold callers.

I'd ask him why he wanted it so much, if he's now so hell-bent on throwing it away.


I'd also ask him why when the country spoke pretty much en masse in 1997 and said yes, we'd like change please, we want a properly equipped NHS and better schools and we're prepared to pay for them, they didn't manage to deliver. Big ask I know, but that's what governments are for.

    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
