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.:(

      How oversubscribed are the local schools? Will they be able to take on students who are currently privately-educated?

      By lollol · Posted

      Southwark and Lambeth may have some spaces but this is not the case of other London boroughs nearby particularly at secondary level. Also this is not just a London issue. There are many regions throughout the UK that have no school places available (eg Kent due to new housing developments, rural areas, Surrey, Guildford, Edinburgh etc). Just because you feel it doesn’t affect you, does not mean it’s right.  You also need to consider the proportion of foreign students in many of the private schools in the area which distorts the impression that local people can pay private school fees and suck up an additional £4-5k per child and per year. And sadly, the psychological and emotional impact on children is not even being discussed.

      Education not taxation - please consider signing this petition!

      By lollol · Posted

      Step in a child’s shoes just for one moment and think what it would be like to have to move schools in the middle of the year away from your friends, teachers, community etc. due to a political stunt. I doubt the money will even go into education. The UK will be become the only European country to tax education. Primary schools have some capacity where I live but I have enquired and there are currently no places for secondary school where I live. Again, so easy to be smug and say we should have pre planned a potential outcome 5 years ago when you live in your £2-3m homes next to the best state schools in Dulwich (like Keir Starmer!)

      By malumbu · Posted

      Birth rate collapses sounds a bit like Armageddon.  It's a mixture of a decline following a bulge, where many schools had to increase intake, and families moving out of the capital due to high cost of housing.  Now that is an irony, that only wealthy families, many who can afford private schooling, can afford to live in many parts of London.
