Today I was thinking about when food rationing ended in 1954 and wondering whether the days will return when we have to register with an East Dulwich grocer to obtain food.


I had a look at the logistics for our East Dulwich food supply chain and I didn't like what I found. JiT is very dangerous.


How many days food supply do you have in your larder for your family?

Last time I was in thigh boots Ms B Was fishing in a scottish loch in the Shetlands.

It was early August, the rain was horizontal and the wind was blowing hard enough to lift the toupee off a bald midget standing in a crater.

I caught nothing but a chill, and I have never missed wearing those thigh boots.

I'm with you there MW74 nothing like embarassing one's offspring, which I keep telling mine that's what the parents role in life is, just like our parent's toe curling attempts to slaughter us, especially in front of a gaggle of our best friends.


What's the point of having kids if you don't give them grief to the max.

What kind of parent could I be classed as, if I didn't show them how excrutiating life can be as a young raw adult.

It is excellent preparation for youngsters to learn how to shoulder the burden of lifes all engulfing mantel of many miseries.

    • Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly. 
    • My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks  
    • When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
