They do after you've kicked them in the shins.


As for the obsession with intimidating women in leather, well that is an entirely different set of psychopathologies that I hope don?t have anything to do with having been beaten by men in batman capes.

So far in little more than a week 'poppylucky' has been abused on a 'double-decker' 436, been given inside information on a counterfeiting operation in Playfield Crescent, and attacked by giant rats in Sainsbury. Well, I ain't seen no rats but I certainly smell one.

It's not always the kids that are mouthy. During recent bad weather I travelled to work by bus, very crowded and I stood up for most of the journey. Noticed a spare seat next to a woman in her 20s near the front of the bus - everyone was eying this seat but not taking it. Went over and noticed the woman's hand bag on the seat, said excuse me can you move your bag. Was told to F off, I had no right to sit on the seat as she did not want to get crushed. Admittedly I am on the plus side but this woman was about a size 20 herself. I just picked up her bag, dumped it on her lap, said tough luck, these seats are for disabled passengers or those with young children, I am disabled, and have a freedom pass to prove it.

She continued to swear at me for the rest of my journey. I got a lot of smiles and thumbs up from many of the other passengers, some of whom had been refused a seat by her.

Hey good for you to stick up for yourself on the bus! i did exactly the same and all i got was abuse back but persevered with my complaint to the bus conductor. If more people were bit more braver and reclaim out streets and buses back then a better society we would be.


I'm fed-up with the other moaning minnies and P.C crowd whose only reaction is inertia and tut tutting - do something about it if you want results....!

    • Sophie, I have to thank you for bringing me squarely into 2025.  I was aware of 4G/5G USB dongles for single computers, and of being able to use smartphones for tethering 4G/5G, but hadn't realised that the four mobile networks were now providing home hub/routers, effectively mimicking the cabled broadband suppliers.  I'd personally stick to calling the mobile networks 4G/5G rather than wifi, so as not to confuse them with the wifi that we use within home or from external wifi hotspots. 4G/5G is a whole diffferent, wide-area set of  networks, and uses its own distinct wavebands. So, when you're saying wi-fi, I assume you're actually referring to the wide-area networks, and that it's not a matter of just having poor connections within your home local area network, or a router which is deficient.   If any doubt, the best test will be with a computer connected directly to the router by cable; possibly  trying different locations as well. Which really leaves me with only one maybe useful thing to say.  :) The Which pages at https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/broadband/article/what-is-broadband/what-is-4g-broadband-aUWwk1O9J0cW look pretty useful and informative. They include local area quality of coverage maps for the four providers (including 5G user reports I think) , where they say (and I guess it too is pretty common knowledge): Our survey of the best and worst UK mobile networks found that the most common issues mobile customers have are constantly poor phone signal and continuous brief network dropouts – and in fact no network in our survey received a five star rating for network reliability. 
    • 5G has a shorter range and is worse at penetrating obstacles between you and the cell tower, try logging into the router and knocking it back to 4G (LTE) You also need to establish if the problem is WiFi or cellular. Change the WiFi from 5GHz to 2.4GHz and you will get better WiFi coverage within your house If your WiFi is fine and moving to 4G doesn't help then you might be in a dead spot. There's lots of fibre deployed in East Dulwich
    • Weve used EE for the past 6 years. We're next to Peckham Rye. It's consistent and we've never had any outages or technical issues. We watch live streams for football and suffer no lags or buffering.   All the best.
