Remember !!


If you work for someone, in heaven's name work for them!If he/she pays you wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him/her-speak well of them, think well of them, stand by them and stand by the institution they represent.I think if I worked for someone I would work for them. I would not work for them a part of the time, and the rest of the time work against them. I would give an undivided service or none.If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness...


So negotiate those icy roads,ignore the cold winter winds and kindly go and kick-start the engine of Industry this year and be thankful for the opportunity that your Employer has given you and ENJOY(!)


Your Country needs YOU!

Washing powder is good innit man!


Happy New Year Young Lady!>:D<


Being a thoughtful and considerate person I have already got the washing powder ready in the machine for my cleaner when she arrives at 9.00AM and have even gone to the time trouble of putting the weeks empty dishes and cutlery and pans in hot water ready for her to wash-up!

(Can't do everything though! She can carry the Hoover upstairs herself.

There ARE limits to what a Man can do!

Great being self employed, long as you have work.

Woke at 9.30am and saw it snowed outside.

And I honestly did think of you all who had to get up early and get on overdrowded overpriced trains and busses to get to work. Honest I did.


Just work up again now. What time is it.

Now have some compassion for yer fellow 'uman beings PR!

I would have been only too happy to have joined them in the trenches but I suddenly realised there was an old Minder episode that I hadn't watched(you know the one where Patrick Mower has 5 wives) so whats a Man to do?

work work work - I do have compassion honest. It's why I just spent half an hour doing the motorcycle in bus lanes advice thread for the bikers amongst us! Has it stopped snowing? I really ought to get up and - make some coffee.

Yes it is unfortunately! And I got there after just missing the 7.50 so spent 20 mins on the platform.

Going for the 7.03 tomorrow morning - bet that will be delayed due to the weather too.

I was at work at 7:50 a.m and it was bloody freezing!!! Although I'm glad to have a job Tony I also work on a very large building site (no demolition this year folks) and we don't have air conditioning or central heating so spare a thought for those carrying hardhats next time you see them. T.L.S and PeckhamRose I'm going to cut off your central heating when I find out where you wake up at leisure:X

It was still damn cold when I headed into work for 9, and by the time I got home my flat was icy cold and that was after an unusually short day - i.e. one where I worked less than an our over unpaid overtime than the 3 - 13 hours of daily unpaid overtime I've been notching up most days in the last few months.


God knows I am glad to have a job, but when you've been in the office for 18 hours at a stretch, you feel entitled to at least think some pretty rude thoughts about your employer!

This morning's commute is going to be HELL I tell ya - the kids are back at school!!!! nooooooo!

Last week travelling up town was so delightful not having to share the bus with snotty kids and smelly city workers and getting to work half an hour early and now???... oh dear! :-(

15 minutes on a quietish bus, 25 mins walk from E&C to Blackfriars - weekly cost ?14 odd quid... easy peasy. Plus I get free excercise. Whatcha all complaining about?? ;-)


Mind you my ears might just snap off at any second...

How ironic!

The year was 1982.The journey to work near Fleet Street(opposite The Sun) was East Lane Market thru' E&C. to Blackfriars.

One day I got the BR Train home from Blackfriars to E&C and was horrified to see the train hurtle past E&C.

I asked someone where the first sto was and was horrified to hear "Bromley South",,,bleedin' Country!...to my amazement in around 22 mins I was there and that set the seeds in my mind to "emigrate"? from where Generations of my family had lived as The Suburbs,I realised,were within easy reach.Saw a place right next to Danson Park(amongst others) put down ?250 deposit(!) and moved in May,1983 and only yesterday as I walked the 7,000 year old Oxcleas Woods I thought "this is ruddy fabulous"..housing still cheap and within half-a-mile of a London Postal District and all because of getting on the wrong train from Blackfriars to the area where my heart will ALWAYS be "The E&C"...

Sean, you may be shocked by this,you may even faint, but I am a bus fan too. I work at Blackfriars get a daily pass and just sit it out with an Ipod and paper (sometimes walk from E&C)...significantly chreaper, normally get a seat, hate trains etc..


Good on you TLS...I even wore my Hammers beany to keep the cold out

    • RSPCA advice on keeping dogs safe in the heat:  'Dogs die on hot walks Dogs are 10 times more likely to suffer heat-related illnesses from exercising in hot weather than from overheating in cars. Learn how to keep dogs safe and help us raise awareness of this deadly problem.' https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/dogs/health/hotwalks?utm_source=Campaigns_Hotwalks_10072025&utm_medium=email&utm_content=button1&utm_campaign=Campaigns_Hotwalks_10072025&campaigncode=25STNFDIGVXA1
    • I didn't say anything was "a fact". I said it was "hardly likely" 🙄 Do you seriously think someone would go out of their way to harm or kill an unusual animal? Even assuming they ever actually saw it? And then you deleted your post. Did you not want people to see what you had said?
    • If people were diligent about not leaving food items out where it is accessible, then we wouldn't have as big a fox problem. Foxes raid trash bins for food and leave rubbish strewn on the pavement.  Other European cities have strict rules on disposal of edibles and they dont have a fox problem
    • You keep insisting that you're "just stating facts", but so far, most of what you've shared isn't fact - it's just your personal opinion, framed with hostility.  Foxes aren't classified as "vermin" in the UK. They're wild animals protected under the Animal Welfare Act & the Wildlife & Countryside Act . & Yes, they do play a vital role in controlling rodent population. The more you double down on insults & misinformation, the more you discredit your own argument. It's possible to be fed up & still informed. Take the information provided to you & do something about it. BTW culling doesn't even work.
