Basically, Georgia, some of us "smell a rat" in this story.


Its probably the same "Rat" that appearred in Poppycock's Supermarket "Tale" or should that be "Tail"?:)


Its certainly the same omni-present Shopping Trolley, that seems to accompany her on all her travels, even on a Double-Decker Bus, furnished with a Bus Conducter....


The aforementioned "Conducter" must be quick as he collects the fares AND drives the Bus...must be a Lightning Conducter>:D<

I had a similar experience with one kid on the way back from surgery -- I jumped on a 345 from Clapham back to King's -- sat on the top deck *bad mistake during school time, down the Cold Harbour Rd* -- anyway, headphones on, happy as larry, seat to myself -- until a young, slightly chubby, slightly geeky-looking lad with glasses sat down next to me. *Phew* I thought, thinking he was a nice little respectable kid on his way home from school -- *doh, wake up and smell the coffee TL* -- I happened to glance for a second at him as he sat down -- "Did I give you permission to look at me???" he sneered... "Eh?" I said, barely hearing him through my headphones.... I was quite amused actually, I think he was trying to do 'street' infront of a couple of girls behind him wearing the same uniform as him, in a desperate attempt to impress! I then shuffled my foot slighty ..."You trying to stamp on my foot?" he sneered! "Nope" Said I..... "Huh, all women are liars!" he retorted! To which I used an oxymoron.... "Yes, we are aren't we!"


Love it :)

Does there have to be a point?


I always think of Calvin & Hobbes in situations like this.


It's a single strip, his long-suffering parents are shown bleary-eyed and rumpled in their night clothes standing in the doorway of Calvin's room.

He is sitting on the bed with a trumpet and a drum shouting "JEEZ I GOT TO HAVE A REASON FOR EVERYTHING"?


Still Poppy could do with a little prsctice.

Unless you own a time machine that would be impossible.

Not that I'm implying anything, naturellement, but, usally, when someone starts a "Wind-Up" thread they disappear afterwards and do not re-appear on that same thread at any point.


By the way has anyone seen Poppy?

Thanks for all messages of support!


I sometimes wonder what the world is coming to when some people seem to accept the behaviour of these kids, no wonder we have so much trouble and storing more up for the future......


I have now thankfully recovered from that experience and do not travel between 3-4 on buses now! especially the 36 and 436...but my ankle has'nt! i'm still hobbling around like a hobo but its on the mend....!

Hey! I believed you Poppsi!


Some thought you were off your trolley but not I:)


By the way have you still got that trolley that you took on the Double-Decker?

(You did well to sneak it past the Conducter!)::o

Make that 2 World Cups Thomas.........no Doubt one just slipped your mind! I seem to remember the rugby boys had an open topped bus tour when they came back. Made me think that if there were more of these buses then send the kids upstairs and if there is any rude behaviour the conductor can just press the ejector button to send seat and child over the top! Has anyone come up with this idea before?

Obviously you were a very bad boy at school, hence the caning... where as if you were a good boy it would have done you no harm at all (apart maybe from an obsession with women in tight black leather outfits who intimidate you that is)

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
