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...

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
