Was this Lidl or Aldi? That's part of the deal. The UK don't quite get Lidl and Aldi - you're supposed to chuck everything back in the trolley and pack it on those benches at the front of the store.

Well. I never knew that lol. they should put a sign up telling customers that's the proceedure. It was Aldi, Loz, I also asked her what the rush was for. and if the shop was about to close. I thouhgt those benches were so you could have a rest after going round their shop a dozen times as their shop aint laid out very well either. it's the first time I've ever been in an Aldi and maybe the last.

There was a programme on recently about LIDL which featured the training of checkout staff and they were told to move customers briskly through and as soon as the goods were put through the till they had to say card or cash to speed things up. In the Peckham branch, on three occasions the cashier picked up my credit card on top of my purse and started to insert it into the machine until I protested. I now make them wait until I've packed all my shopping. I've written to LIDL about this and other issues but they seldom reply. I like the idea of LIDL and they have great prices but their customer services leaves a lot to be desired, particularly in the Peckham branch.

Men after finishing a simple pee in a simple urinal then proceed to wash their hands like they were about to undertake open heart surgery...upto the elbows, down again, rinse, soap, rinse then use the elbow to nudge the tap off.


Jings, a quick splash, wipe on hands on jeans and back into the fray..

I'm sure you know the old joke - a sailor and a soldier are standing next to each other at the urinals. Sailor finishes up and goes to leave without washing his hands. The soldier says, "Hey pal, in the army they teach us to wash our hands after we've used the bogs!" "Yeah?" says the sailor, "in the navy they teach us not to piss on our hands."

That voice and laugh !


I'm not generally a posh basher, but where did the dry drawn out intonation come from. The one where the voice drops off then into a kindling of barely discernible vibrato growl. Add that a 'hu huh huh huuuuuuu..yahhhhhhhh'


Only it also has the ability to be both a whisper & loud together.


It's not your old classic 'posh' but some hideous (young) manifestation


Hellllllp or do I mean 'Helaaaaaaa.....p...mmmmyaaaah'

I used to be a fan of Jamie Oliver.. But I now find him so Fecking Irritating..

#These little bad boys... #Sprinkle. From a height.


His big Crusade on Sugar yet last week he was making some Sweeties with his children made from

drizzling a sugary syrup on to grease proof paper ? then pouring melted chocolate it and waiting for it to set.


Much of his earlier stuff involved loads of Sugar. and we still get repeats of it. Hippocrite


Foxy..

Ummm


I don't think Jamie Oliver is anti all sugar he's simply against the constant promotion of sugary products where there are alternatives.


It's not the binary thing you see it as.


I like him because he's very positive and he cares about what people actually eat.


Sugar has its place in our diets in moderation.


I've become a big fan of sweetners contrary to popular belief sheeple they are not harmful as a replacement for sugar .


The anti sweetner thing causes me Rage especially when I get to a coffee shop or cafe and they don't have any sweetner !!!!! AGGGGGGGG

I fear pop9770 may have become upset at me and others objecting to him/her describing those who objected to his/her opinions as being mentally ill - I see that account's now deactivated, whether the offensive account is related I don't know...if you're reading this pop9770, nobody ever asked for you to leave the forum, just to stop talking about mental illness in an inappropriate manner...

Seconded and for all your efforts in keeping the forum going over the year.

People hugging onto the f-ing pole thing on the tube. FFS hold it with one hand so more people can reach it!! Some people seem to cling to it like it was their other half. For those of us at 5.1ft or under those poles are our only chance not to fall. We cant reach the handles at the ceiling

People with fur on their bobble hats or on the trim on their hoods. This is London - not the arctic and fur is just impossibly cruel. And you should know better.


So you're either ignorant - which is unforgiveable, or you know exactly what cruelty is involved and don't care - which is worse.

    • There’s an unusual cat in my garden that appears a bit lost and hungry. White and fluffy with grey parts and blue eyes. Seems like a house cat. I’m behind Goose Green off Ondine. 
    • As far as I am aware you have shown no interest in the Gala thread but anything you find to knock a local authority, and no doubt hope that it applies to Southwark LTNs, then off you go. I'd love to hear what you enjoy.  I've been to multiple festivals big and small, in life.  The line up at the Lambeth Show looks good.  Steamdown anyone? It's a balance between many factors, amenity Vs loss of amenity, disruption including noise during the event, damage to the park, income to the local authority during difficult times.  What is your view on these matters, or is it just a case that you smell meat? I cycled in the Massif Central when there was a big creative festival and that smelled of BBQ meat.  Similarly a Portuguese festival at Kensington Park. There are some people round my way who used to complain about the music at the Horniman on a summer Sunday afternoon.  This is not comparable to the disruption due to the Gala, I hasten to add.  But I was stunned at the time thinking how could they have issues with some soul/jazz/afro beat/samba/Latino etc  Shane they don't have the same number of free events any more.  I digress....
    • But I think there are striking similarities between the way Lambeth has managed the Brockwell events and residents therein and the way Southwark has with Gala..... It's how it pastes when you take text from another website (BBC) and is a good way to show that these are someone else's words and not something written by the author! 
    • Do none of you people want anyone to experience joy anywhere near your houses? I've been a local resident for nearly 10 years, and I love that London feels vibrant and alive in the summer and there are festivals and young people enjoying themselves.    Think everyone here needs to take a chill pill
