Just nipped out to gather a few items for a spot of lunch and the following observations were made on my journey from the Crystal Palace Road end of LL down to the roundabout and back again

Noticed seven 4 wheel buggies, one 3 wheel buggy, 4 pregnant ladies, 5 drivers on their mobiles while driving, shop signage at Somerfield being taken down, launderette next to the Magdala getting a new lick of paint.

The shopkeepers in G&B, Healthmatters and the Cheese Block were all very friendly.

Weather was mild with a hint of rain.

I don't think clarence comes round my way. Probably not posh enough for him to prance about. We're over run with cats but this was something else. I mean it really gets on my t*&s! It's almost like the owner plans it...'come on Rover, that's it, just here, bit to the left, line it up with their front path, Bingo! Fire!'

Dear Polly,

A small ciabatta from the Cheese Block, a little Serrano ham from G&B, some Beaufort Cheese from EDD and a tomato from Sainsburys! I was going to eat it in the garden but it had started raining by the time I'd assembled it all.

Not tried the G&B Scotch eggs but I noticed a nice little tartlet thing that I may try tomorrow.

I'll be dropping into the optician tomorrow, so will definitely check out the G&B scotch eggs :)

I wonder if there's such a thing as a healthy pork pie :-S

(I've been on lunchtime salads all week - trying to get the tum under control ready for the imminent Great Highland & Island Bike Ride)


Louisiana

1.35pm. Weather - warm. Down LL across NCR and up CPR.

14 - 4 wheel buggies [5 parked outside Blue Mountain]

1 - 3 wheeled buggy

4 drivers on mobile phones

The launderette now has a new windowledge and Somerfield has lost some tiles.

Anyone know what the green shop next to the Hairdressing suppliers on CPR used to be? Seem a similar vintage to the one next to the butchers

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
