Ah, one of those old fashioned unreconstructed geezer types like that oaf in Life On Mars. Hell, maybe backwards is the way forwards. Lets be honest, we all know that secretly all these career ladies are yearning for a life at home swaddled in domestic bliss. Who needs another power point presentation about Far East penetration when you could be at home being taken roughly over the coal scuttle whilst polishing the brass. Bring back Victorian values!

You certainly like to be controversial, don't you Mr Yard. ;-)


I suppose that the thing is - if a woman decides to elect for the power point presentation, she can still polish the brass whilst doing other things. If you were to select "domestic bliss" as you so eloquently put it, that would generally be the end of the career. I know which I'd rather...

I have heard tell that there might be certain entertaining ladies to be occassionally found down by the roundabout in the EDT. Some may be harder conquests than others though it would seem that a late snatch might be your best ploy as their resolve may well have weakened. (Parents take note on your duty to advise your wee apples as to the pitfalls of public intoxication.)

Alternatives are hosting a back to back viewing of "Sex in the City - Season 6" at the ED Warehouse or if you're more callous dressing up as Barny and loitering outside JoJo Maman Bebe.

Good luck, if you do succeed you may well be able to make a packet by marketing your methods to the legions of singletons struggling to lead a carefree existence in the stroller-jammed by-ways of ED. Should you fail you might find richer pickings in Hastings.

Oh, I don't know, Kalam... there's something about an old-fashioned hairy man that's rather taking.


I'm amused by the fact that this thread is in the 'East Dulwich' aka the Serious section of the Forum - after all, it is a local issue - but it's sister thread is in the Lounge.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
