I?m perfectly comfortable with my age thank you Kel. I even have a grey hair which I have been nurturing for I think it makes me look distinguished.


Wax, gum and paste all sound unhygienic. I would rather have remained ignorant of these newfangled products with which the youth and those who aspire to youthfulness choose to foul their barnets.

We used to use gelatine. You need proper long hair though for some proper big spikes.


They wouldn?t let me in Adwassitname with my hair like that. It was purple then too.

Well if it's hair product, I had a serious Black & White 'Pluko' addiction. I'd alternate it with La India brilliantine just to ring the changes.

Anyone on here of Caribbean origin may know of these products. Basically if your grandfather used it then so did I.

Of course I had the good taste to lose my hair in my late thirties, thank heavens.

It was never going to be good enough to carry on with after that.

I know KK, after a vigorous afternoon session, I start to break up in mid-sentence myself.

It's OK get back to us later.

It's fine TMIB, you just did. Thanks for that.


So, Adventure, when you venture in there, do you favour a Wattie from The Exploited punk-style cockscomb or an Isaac Hayes shaven-headed look?

I know which way I'll be voting.

    • Andy is an absolute star. Have used him for years and he’s become a hugely trusted and valued friend as well as handyman. Always willing to go the extra mile and doesn’t cut corners, but great on pricing. Can’t recommend enough.
    • Surely you are still covered under these circumstances even if you don't have the physical licence? I can't believe you would be prevented from driving? That would be a ridiculous system. I don't recall any delays   when mine was renewed. Why would their medical department be involved if you have no medical issues? Could someone have made some admin mistake somewhere along the line?
    • Does anyone have the same problem.  I am 79 and have sent my licence renewal form to the DVLA on the 21st October 20 which they have received. I have just received a letter from them them dated 22 December 2025 today saying my licence is with their Drivers Medal Department and will be processed as soon as possible. This follows my telephone call to them after three weeks  from the October date as I had not received my licence back as per their time frame. I also followed this up mid December after finally getting through but did not get any confirmation as to what the situation was. Is this normal practice? On the 7 January 2026 I will be unable to drive as my licence has not been sent back. I have no medical issues and meet all the requirements with no problem as per previous renewals in fact nothing has changed health wise.Their the letter states if they need any more details from me, they will contact me directly. Why has it taken 2 and a half months get get this far? Is this some sort of ploy to get older drivers to finally give up their driving by making life difficult as possible.  Has anyone else experienced this. Read Medical not Medal.
    • You're being a little disingenuous here. It is simply not true that "the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum" because: -> the area the development is in isn't 2/3 storeys maximum today - as evidenced by the school on the lot adjoining the development to the south, as well as the similarly-sized buildings to the north and east.  -> the SPG doesn't preclude this type of development anyway. This "genie in a bottle" stuff is desperate barrel-scraping. Now you're raising the spectre of a 9 storey building on the Gibbs & Dandy site (the chance would be a fine thing) but also arguing Southwark is too slow to approve things and opposed to development more than 2-3 storeys!
