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.

    • The events section on here isn't that big! There are presently only 20 events on there for the whole of February! It's just taken me about ten seconds to scroll through to see what's on! Also, where did you sign up for this summary email? Is it definitely coming from this forum, as I can't see it mentioned anywhere?
    • I'm a bit confused. You posted less than half an hour ago (as I type) but at the bottom of your post on what seems to be a screenshot dated yesterday evening  it says you found it? If you haven't, can you not contact the charity shop directly in case they still have it?
    • Can anyone help? When moving home I accidentally sent a framed print to a charity shop on Lordship Lane.  It’s not worth money just of sentimental value to me. 🥲 Has anyone seen this or purchased it? please get in touch with me 07583160009 many thanks
