This one's not that much of an annoyance, but it is petty: people who don't remove the stickers from the bottom of a new pair of shoes.


Yes, we can in fact all see the stickers when you're walking despite their being on the bottom of your shoe. And yes, it does make you look a bit silly. And lazy/forgetful/generally a little bit slack.

Are you never tempted to talk to these so called men like they were ikkle wikkle babies? Just to see how it goes down. Your post reminds me of the episode of Sex In The City where Samantha's squeeze baby talks in bed and she finds herself unable to, erm, enjoy herself.

Conformists who write phone numbers thus - 020 8xxx xxxx, or 020 7xxx xxxx.

As a traditionalist I've just got used to "ROD" becoming "701" before we start on the myriad of prefix changes...

In fact what have been the changes in Inner London since the glorious 1960's..starting with the letters..like "ROD"..?

Anyone?

After "rod" then "701" there was "071" then "0171" then "020" split between "0207/0208" now its "020 7701".

BRI (which was the Brixton exchange) became 274 and TOW (Townley) became 693. Both good Dulwich numbers by the way. God I'm getting old.


Back to petty annoyances though - people constantly rabbiting on the phone and not just on public transport which really does my head in. For instance, I have a girl in the office who is constantly talking fatuous boring crap all day long to her friends and family and I really don't want to hear it thank you very much.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.

      MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.

      The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
