You know this actually really irritates me. Every morning and evening I stand aside for the ladies to get on the bus and train first. Mostly though I end up standing aside for all the besuited fucksticks who push on without a care in the world for anything but themselves.


Though these days that probably counts as sexist behaviour and as soon as the thought police read this they?ll be ?round my house with one of them asbos to strap around my ankle.

I hate to add to the new fangled pottymouthity going on here, but Brendan's "fucksticks", at the time referring to the spiky-haired variety found in the frontbottom fishbowl (to paraphrase) that is Foxtons, was far and away my favourite neoligism of 2007.

I reiterate my bravo to you sir.

Bravo.

Ah but does he, MP? Does he?

It seems to me that these young fellows today conduct their ablutions with bottles of vivid colour unguents, smelling of lavender geranium or pansy.

They also contain essential oils, whatever they might be when they're at home, but not 3-In-1 I'll be bound.

Give the youth of today a bar of soap and they'd likely as not eat it.

I don't know.


I really don't.

"Give the youth of today a bar of soap and they'd likely as not eat it"


More likely snort it or inject it. Bloody tear-aways.


Is it time for my nap yet?


Oh lawks there is an RAF flypast on the telly soon, must stay awake for that. The only thing that is worth watching nowadays, that and the Antiques Roadshow, even that has gone down the hill since Hugh Skully left.

Have you seen who's taking over the next series? Fiona Bruce. Yes you heard right Fiona Bruce.

That's 44 year old Fiona Bruce. Ruddy female's barely out of a gymslip and they've got her presenting a show about antiques.

It'll be full of Pyrex, Tupperware and Barbie dolls you mark my words.


We're going to hell in a handcart.

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
