"As a proud member of UKIP and a leading member on the Ribble Neighbourhood Watch committee, I often struggle to find clothing that's both practical and is passive aggressive to people with a different cultural heritage. My usual collection of tweed jackets with a handkerchief in the breast pocket may well be fashionable, but it doesn't quite tell foreigners to f**k off as much as I wish it would"

How have you not exploded with schadenfreude-induced joy?

Hope this doesn't offend anyone...


When my sister first heard about the poppies at the Tower of London, she misheard and thought they said puppies. We both agreed this is an idea the Tower might like to explore once the exhibition has been taken down.

I don't deny Tesco's service is rather excellent (especially if you have a problem with their online service), I've always found John Lewis's service to be wonderful, also. Even to the point I would actually pay more for stuff (especially white-goods) bought online, as I know it will arrive on time, as ordered and be expertly installed. But I generally don't have to pay more as they usually price match.

I don't use Tesco enough to be able to judge; I just thought it was good they were doing it in an open and straightforward way, including putting the notices just before the till so that you actually focus on the service they give you rather than a general impression of the store.


JL's processes are great, especially refunds, but service on the shop floor can be a bit hit and miss - my experience anyway. I've been to the Oxford St one several times recently and I'm fed up of shop assistants bitching about their colleagues. Also had this in Palmers in Brixton, where I needed some help and caught the eye of an assistant who was mid-character assassination, and she turned her back on me and carried on. Interestingly, all the above were in haberdashery departments - must be something about soft furnishings.

    • No denying that Labour's first year or so has disappointed those of us who wanted major change.  But this demonising of the man is just ridiculous.  There have been some good things, but drowned out by this insentient right wing driven media hatred.  The same right wing media that loves Johnson and FaaReg (I think I've at last hit on getting the pronounciation right). A good example today - John Crace reports: That done [reference to Trump] , Starmer could move on. Britain had offered its full support to the peace process. Had worked tirelessly behind the scenes, with no need of recognition. Because it was our job. Recognising a Palestinian state had allowed other Arab nations to condemn Hamas. And we knew a thing or two about decommissioning weapons from the Good Friday agreement. But it was going to be a long haul. (maybe a rosy look, but nice to see something positive) A positive view on our position in the world and a player on the peace deal (albeit too late for many in Gaza) Here's GB news: Suella Braverman says she is 'ashamed to be British' after Keir Starmer’s 'humiliation on world stage' HTF can Braverman lecture anyone? Mail: Will Keir Starmer EVER recover from his viral humiliation by Trump in front of world? PM's efforts to bask in Gaza peace deal spectacularly backfire And slightly earlier in the Times: Starmer ‘duped voters’ and five more claims in explosive new book.  In this case the left sharpening their knives - perhaps they could go back to Corbyn's time as Labour leader.
    • This is one of the most stupid arguments used by all the far-right war criminal supporters to justify the unjustifiable. I can only advise you to study what defines a genocide, maybe you’ll learn a thing or two. Perhaps, you should also read about the great (Jewish) scholars Omer Bartov and Amos Goldberg who both (among others prominent intellectuals) concluded that Israel was committing a genocide. At least, they can’t be accused of antisemitism, I suppose. 
    • I am a big fan of Blue Brick..possibly my favourite local cafe for lunch..
    • Love Blue Brick and have had some lovely meals there,, never had a problem with service, always so accommodating..

Be, nice not to see another eateries..chain..  all for supporting individuals.
