I just knew you'd have to say something in response to my post. I think theirs is far more sinister and hateful and even you know it. But fell free to tell me I'm wrong.

No you were merely trying to be clever. So if you want to be silly you're going to tell me the songs that relate to generations of real hatred, bloodshed and religious intolerance, are in the same category as some of the stuff on a thread on here? If so you really are something.

That's nasty but not on the same scale these days. Most normal Arsenal fans would want no part of that.


I used to work with a lass from Glasgow. Perfectly nice and reasonable person, but talk about football (she's Rangers) and straight away she'd be on about the catholics.

It'll be a no. The papers especially (and the media in general) prefers a story to be a story, hence the bigging up of the polls. Most Scots have much more in common with the rest of the UK than some indy-minded leaders would have them and the rest of the UK population believe, especially the working-class ones.

I think the sights and sounds of Glasgow spectators readily and happily cheering English/Welsh/NI sportsmen and women in the inclusive environment of the Commonwealth games is encouraging to those who think we are "better together", though I admit that this might be my unionist spin.

I tell my Scottish friends that I regard Scotland as "mine", the same way I do Manchester, Cardiff, Newcastle or Belfast because I am a citizen of the United Kingdom. Some parts mean more to me than others, but they are all part of the UK.

      Yet another burst main... major leak on Lordship Lane nr junction with Barry Rd

      By Sue · Posted

      But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.

      Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.

      Blame Margaret Thatcher - she started the privatization of public utilities.
