An obvious solution to this problem is to have designated days when children are permitted in the store (accompanied of course), say, monday, wednesday, friday. All other days are for the benefit of responsible adults only. If it proves successful and popular (no doubt that it will) then it could become local policy and the zone then extended to cover Lordship Lane and eventually all pubs in ED.

...and as a parent I have to say I will go to extrodinary lengths in order to avoid shopping with children, let alone the husband, the faster I can get in and out the better...assuming I have to even frequent the demon supermarkets in the first place!

Is that not a tad harsh? I have to say, I agree with Blueone on this one. Why does a whole familly need to go to the supermarket together? Hardly a fun day out is it.


I'm also sick of seeing people wheeling screaming kids around whilst chatting on mobile phones and ignorning thier offspring. I'm not a maternal person, but the child is obviously crying because it needs/wants something?

nah its far from a bit harsh, the original poster seems to suggests that the presence of other persons namely families in local supermarkets is a great hinderence and inconvenience to him and that it is no place for them to be. as a father of two my kids like going to do the shopping with me and the wife, gives them a chance to look around and have a bit of input as to what food etc will be bought for that week,occasionally bump into a few school friends, and it also forms a bit of life experience for them. he points out "i would like to think that for a healthy,functional society here is room for people to make some allowances for how their choices affect the people they are sharing their space with?". maybe he would like to apply that principle to his own behaviour and be aware that there are others out there who have the choice and right to bring their kids shopping/to the park/cinema/pub/restaurant and that the world doesn,t revolve around him and his selfish attitude.
Oh but IT IS a great day out for all the family. Once we've pulled up in disabled bay (parents ones full) we let the kids run riot annoying other shoppers whilst the wife and I catch up and relax over a nice cold Chocaolate Mocha Frappuccino. Security and floor staff are great child minders. Then its off to the Tu section to try out the latest fashions whilst the kids pull stuff of the shelves. Finally when they tire out, we grab a bag off crisps, smoothies and handful of grapes to keep them quiet whilst we fill the trolley and catch up with friends on our mobs. Beats the park or sitting in front of the TV and you get Nectar points too.

So the thread started off about a gang of youths setting about one boy, now it's degenerated into a melee of slanging, sarcasm and swearing. I just hope that none of the youths involved visit this thread, it'll set them a terrible example.

Honestly certain people should be ashamed of themselves.

Let me tell you of one of my few visits to sanies.


My boyfriend was waiting for ages to pull out of one of the parking spaces. There was a big queue because it was Christmas time. This absolute trollop of a woman was so quick to close up the gap for fear the boyfriend would come out of the parking space. She was very brazen about it too, looking at us all smug like, that she went into the back of the car in front of her. I had the last laugh and I rolled down the window so she was sure to hear me.

No, I think you're thinking of a dingle-berry? A Clinker, according to google is:


Hardened volcanic lava; A scum of oxide of iron formed in forging; A very hard brick used for paving customarily made in the Netherlands; One who clinks or an item that clinks, hence fetters are also called clinkers; Clink, derived from clinch, hence one who clinches or that clinches


It also was my dogs name...B)

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
