school: expelled

Pie and Mash shop down The Cut: several years ago - for popping-out to get a bottle of HP sauce from local grocers after being told they didn't have any in the cafe.

driving: long story

couple of pubs: few years ago. fighting / weapons. to be fair it was not my fault entirely, I was just responding in kind but I was the ass that got caught.

Burma: not sure it's on their official records, didn't hang around to find-out, but the army took me near to Chedi Sam Ong (three pagodas pass) border and told me I was not welcome back in Burma. 'spying'.

Got deported from Holland.. Insufficient Funds... Missed The Floyd in Vondelpark 1971


Funny I had enough money to get back, get a train to the Reading Festival, pay for the festival,

eat and drink and get back home.


And to top it all, me and my mate got searched between the station and the festival.


And a Police man was shot and killed after he stopped a car in Reading Town Centre.

Unrelated to the festival..

Would you want this at your wedding ?

Been thrown out of a lot of (not all licensed) places and given a 'you're barred' bon mot on leaving.


Was properly banned from Barclays Bank back in the 90s. A dispute between us eventually led to them writing to me - though I had plenty of money in my a/c - stating they were "no longer prepared to handle your account" and giving me a couple of weeks to take my accumulated wealth and fuck off.


They used slightly more technical language.

Banned from this weird army shop.


Customer was in front demanding a refund for something, and the cashier just wasn't having it - repeatedly pointing to some sign that was no more than a laminated scrap piece of paper that had "no refunds" on it.


So there I was waiting in line and minding my own business, when the guy suddenly turns on me and asks "here, would *you* notice that?" whilst pointing at the sign. Being the honest kid I used to be, I instinctively said "no" - immediately realising what a mistake I'd made when it was my turn to be served.


Cashier wasn't happy, he took my money and let me pay for my item but he told me I was no longer welcome.

I was heartbroken. I fricking loved that army shop :(

School trips - after spending a week's school trip to Arran in the Lamlash Hotel getting p*ssed all day with three friends. I was fifteen.

The Royal Oak, SE1 - my bipolar friend was in an 'up' phase and had a very loud conversation puntuated by many many Fs and Cs. They let me back after a few weeks but he's barred for life.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
