I?m sure Sainsbury?s, Morrison?s, Tesco etc will all be doing discounts on crates.


Just be sure to feel a bit guilty about it because the use of alcohol as a loss leader by big chains is contributing to the demise of the local pub.


So to even it out go to the pub on Boxing Day and drink lots.

To be fair, a small band of us have been keeping the CPT open for years now, so I feel I can hold my head up... Besides, if the stupid pubs would stop being so selfish, and open on Christmas day, I'd be in there emptying my wallet!


Which reminds me...


A few years back the then manager of the CPT said to me "I can't believe this man, the one night I get to shut up, everyone's with their families, and I'm sat here on my own. Would rather open up!"... Guess that's the problem when most of the bar staff of London are thousands of miles away from family at crimbo time!

Mmmm, a pain au chocolat for breakfast (eaten on the hop whilst dragging a huge suitcase - trust me, I needed the energy)

A mince pie popped in whole for elevenses (it was tiny - honest)

Mmmm, a rather nice latte presently on the go as I clock watch....

BB, do you eat cream eggs all in one? Respect if you do!


I was always led to believe that the real wow-factor is if she can suck one through a hose-pipe ;-)



Has been a gluttony-free day thus far in the number5 house: Mrs.number5 on nights so asleep, I opted for a final day of racking up credit before the big day - porridge, run, light-lunch. Dull, and very jealous of you all, but means I can feel free to eat a ridiculous amount tomorrow!

    • The lady is called Janet 
    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
