The popular animation Postman Pat (me and my little brothers were huge fans) was sold to Japanese broadcasters but was put on hold because of Postman Pat having 3 fingers and a thumb. The way his hand was shaped was (unknown to the British creators, I hope) a Yakuza gang sign/gesture and it was thought that this would cause upset in Japanese households. It was eventually released quite a while after the show was purchased.

From Andy Coulsono


Just some thoughts on some risque words/phrases you might want to drop into various media opportunities.

See what you think.


'Knob Jockey' - Loose Women.

'Fellatrix' - Today, John Humphrys.

'Jizz bucket' - The One Show.

'C*ntbollox' - Top Gear, this could be risky but it's massive so chance it.

'C*ntbollox' - That new show of Richard & Judy's, safe enough I reckon.

'Spunk Monkey' - GMTV.

'Filthy Whores' - BBC Breakfast.

'Wankel Rotary Engine' - This Morning.

'Completely Shagged Out' - Bargain Hunt Celebrity Tat Find.


Hope these meet with your approval DC.

And once again may I thank you for taking me on as your as your publicity maven. Me and the family are so grateful.

What with the 'other lot' not having a great time with a former hack with the initials 'AC'.

My, I'm in such a good mood today!

Hi KalamityKel,

Roughly 30 doors are knocked on for every hour of canvassing for issues. Roughly 15% of those 30 doors knocked on have some one in. So roughly 5 people an hour actually talked to.

We've tried evenings, Saturday and Sundays during the day. Sunday evenings. We have'nt tried Saturday evenings as our families do like to see us occassionally.

As we have day jobs we have'nt tried mon-fri during the day time. I keep my work holiday for family holidays, looking after the kids during school holidays and occassional daytime councillor engagements. This doesn't seem unreasonable.


If you'd ever like us to knock on your door say where and when.


Regards james



Says it all really dont it!

my point is not that canvassing is not done but the response - rather a case of the attitude taken where it is felt necessary to explain quite a simple thing in a simple way to someone they are clearly judging to be... well simple (no keep your agreements to yourselves on that one!) It's too funny really but I guess many with similar views to such persons would not understand.

It is a typical, pointless response from a representative of the same party where they feel they must have the last word.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
