they didn't it moved to giant premises next to Winkworth

It's just an expanding office space, I dont get what the issue is here? Estate Agents are running into difficult times so i'm sure they will sacrifice another office for this slight expansion, no big deal. On a lighter note how wonderful it is to see Londis return to ED after so many years replacing Budgens on the corner.

I love a flutter every so often, it is a great social ocassion to go into a bookies and watch the racing. It is something the yummy middle class twits who have moved into this area cannot appreciate. The thought of a bookies creates stereotypical images of old men chain smoking and using inappropriate language. Get over it I say, it's better than yet another boutique no one ever goes into because it's all crap and overpriced.

Oh goody welcome to the flutter club. I agree with you Louisa its such good fun.I only put on a few bob so no hardship if i loose. I have been to Brighton Kempton and all over in the last year and had a blast.I would definitely recommend it and your right keef too you meet lots of different people.

Goofy a man of my own heart - I like a flutter on Football, Horses, golf, the stock market, poker, big brother etc...I spread bet,bibary bet, use the exchanges, play poker online, etc......



BTW rumour has it there's a load of po-faced Malvolians on here who think that gamblings the work of the devil.....

Having worked on The Sporting Life for 23 years until it closed in '87 I'd been known to have flutter but strangely enough once I'd been made redundent I lost all interest in horse racing and gambling. Mind you, I'd seen so many mugs over the years win and lose a fortune on the same afternoon that I was never a big gambler. But a small little wager to keep an interest in whatever it is your betting on is pretty harmless just as long as it doesn't become a habit and take over your life.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
