"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.

    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend! 
    • I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional. 
    • It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients. 
    • Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.
