Moos we live in a world where hirsute big-toothed blokes say all sorts of things. One can't go from A to B these days without being accosted by an hirsute big-toothed bloke asking if one is going to run for the mayoral office.

I can categorically deny that it is my intention to seek any form, shape or shadow of public office in the near, far, distant or indeed even past future.

However and I don't use the word however lightly, if the people of London and by people I mean carbon-based life forms, were to rise up en masse and carry me to wherever the mayor's office is and throw me bodily through the door while chanting 'HONALOOCHIEB FOR MAYOR' and 'HONALOOCHIE HONALOOCHIE HE'S OUR MAN HE CAN DO IT IF ANYONE CAN' and similar, then who am I to say them nay?

The people have spoken, I run on a 'broad' manifesto of free public transport, clean air and Mott The Hoople in every home.

Details to follow.

It's OK Mike when I seize power the tone deaf and musically enfeebled won't be allowed voting rights.

It'll all be in the manifesto.

Or personifesto as I call it on account of not wanting to alienate the chick vote.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
