As I don't know your wife, don't know why she is veggie. If it's for health reasons, can understand her desire to lapse.

If it's because she is an animal lover & finds it morally wrong, sorry but how can she even get the urge to try? The thought of eating meat makes me feel sick.


If she is doing it for the animals, but finding it hard, I commend her for sticking to her beliefs. She is wonderful x

Please do point me in that direction, I can't recall. So you are happy to consume milk products from sick cows and eat eggs from battery farmed chickens?


As before, I admire that you don't eat meat and avoid restaurants that serve foie gras.


But if you don't care where your eggs and dairy come from, that's hypocritical.


More than happy to be corrected.

So... given the capacity for possible lapses throughout one's life... the only TRUE Vegetarian... is a dead vegetarian?

My memory is obviously better than yours. Look back through your old posts.


As I said then, I don't drink milk or buy dairy products. I use dairy free alternatives for cooking & drink my tea/coffee black.


If I eat out, I have been known to eat cheese, only because there is rarely any veggie option on the menu that doesn't contain it. But as I only eat out approx once a year, irrelevant anyway.


As for eggs, even free-range are sometimes not as advertised. Happy eggs for example are not from happy hens. The eggs I buy are not only free range but also organic and from a trusted source.

I can't believe that you could even think that I'd buy battery eggs.

I always rely on you maxxi for making me smile :)

And yes I will be a dead vegetarian as never planning to eat meat again.

Your memory is better than mine, and my apologies for forgetting.


I know a few vegetarians who don't consciously buy battery eggs, but will for example eat egg mayonnaise sandwiches, omelettes, vegetarian breakfast with eggs, even mince pies; all which may have non-free range eggs.


And if you willingly eat dairy without knowing the provenance of the milk, despite being an ethical vegetarian, it's irrelevant whether it's once a year or once a day. You shouldn't do it!

With K*nts like Gordon Ramsay around you cant avoid meat even if you are a vegetarian all you can do is make a best effort to be a veggie. Apart fro my teenage years I've been a veggie all my life. Never eaten meat never had a bacon roll and apart from one mouthful of a maccy D - They gave me the wrong burger never had a maccy Donalds. It was tasteless by the way, How can you spot it is meat?

How exactly does Ramsay stop you being a veggie? Are you saying he pops around on occasion and shoves a pork sausage in your mouth? Treats you to a spit roast? Shows you how to enjoy a nice meat and two veg?

Do you care about how egg laying hens and dairy cows are looked after?

      Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

      Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here.

      By taliax7 · Posted

      Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.

      Cyclists be careful

      I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
