Hmmm, not sure really. (I do sometimes kick myself a little)


Perhaps, I was holding out for one of these:

andy&kez I also had a beetle, it was the noisiest most uncomfortable and dangerous car I ever had.


On motorways with the slightest crosswind it would jump into the next lane, and if you ever braked hard going down a


steepish hill you would spin 180 degrees. It did have good traction in snowy winters, but the rest of it you could keep.


I preferred the British beetle the Morris Minor, which was my first car and the only car I had with a split windscreen.

Love the old Beetle. My Uncle does them up for a living and I remember that every time we went to visit him, there'd be a different colour beetle on the drive way. Loved going down to the garage to see what he was working on. Everything came in as a wreck and went out looking pristine.

I'll continue the conversation on my own then...


CC:"Stylish and Classy, you say?"


Me: "Absolutely!"


CC: "Why Thank You, Young Man!"


Me: "Don't mention it"


CC: "In that case, I won't(!)"...


At this point TLS slinks away, head bowed, having tried(and clearly failed miserably) to offer a Young Lady a compliment.:(

      Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣

      The Mansion Tax

      By James Barber · Posted

      Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
