A year ago, it was not possible to walk from ,say GG, to the brutal concrete magnificence of the cop shop without hearing conversational prime cuts about Schools and choice in passing - " We did not get out first choice and we have no option but to go private - the system has failed us and makes no provision for gifted children...blah blah blah " or variations thereof.




There is a new bleat on the streets and its commin at ya blud.....



" We cannot sell our house - literally cannot sell it, it has been on the market for 9 months and hardly a viewing....blah blah blah"



This is can be interpreted as " we are the asking market price of about 18 months ago for our extensilvely remodeled pokey Victorian terrace so we can move out to Sevenoaks/Guildford/St.Albans and take advantage of the grammar school system - ideally we want to get market peak for our own pomme de terre, but curiously , want to pay rock bottom prices for the detached mansion 200M from the best performing seconday school in Kent/herts/Cambs and we are so utterly pig headed about it, we will hang on with our unrealistic sale price until reality begins to nip at our stuck up fat arses"

Spot on snorky - the fantasy world of the last decade where the Chinese work their butts off for $US80 a month and live 8 to an apartment whilst lending their hard earned money to us so that we can live in an effortless colour supplement dream land trading houses to each other for ever increasing amounts whilst dreaming of second homes in Provence,nannies,reiki sessions, long holidays and leisurely Sunday mornings drinking 3 quid coffees and organic croissants and marvelling at the beauty of it all are well and truly over.


It?s not going to right itself next year ? a generational once in a century boom has turned to bust and we will have to live within our means ,work hard and save and realise that we are over paid ,over indulged welfare statist entitlement junkies to whom globally no one owes us a living.


The new ED was part of that fantasy.

Cheer up Quids all is not lost!, I remember reading an article about the Beenster and she said at the time (Autumn) that they were recording the next series of PL to be aired this Spring. Lots of people come a cropper what with the downturn...

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
