Oh the RUBBER BANDS!! Seriously drives me nuts. They are everywhere! If this was anyone else littering to this extent they would be fined but not the PO. It sounds really insignificant - and probably is - but its one of those things that bugs the heck out of me!


Its like the number 12 bendy bus going up Lordship Lane! Thats not its route!!!!


AND what about those automated check out machines in Somerfield? The are never on!!! "Lane Closed!!!"


Oh I feel so much better now

I'm so glad to see other people have noticed the red rubber bands on the pavement! Everyday there used to be two fresh ones on our front path and so a while ago I started piling them up (a bit sad I know) on the doorstop as a little message to the postie. I'm not sure he (or she) noticed or cared but I have to say I haven't seen them return for a while, or maybe we don't get enough post to warrant bundles!

My Grouse of the day is Estate Agent's 'Sold by' or 'Rented by' boards hanging around like a bad smell after the place's been sold/rented. And oddly enough when you take them down they miraculously resurrect themselves even after the property's been off the market for a while. Do they pay the owner to place their advertising board out the front of their property? Do they knock money off their commission in exchange for placing eye catching adverts outside someone's flat? I don't think so. When a property's on the market fair enough but when it's not, that's just bloomin' cheeky.


Off my chest, out my mind, the day seems so much more approachable...

    • Sometime in the mid 80s, the first incarnation was on Peckham Rye near the new old Tesco’s
    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
