People who chew gum with their mouths open, especially if audibly...the clacking sound and waft of mint/juicy fruit on the bus of a morning.....the horror?..one day I'll crack, I've already developed a Chief Inspector Dreyfus style twitch in my left eye, surely it can't be long before I attempt to strangle some poor gum chewing moron on the number 12? Of course I?ll go quietly when the police arrest me, and as a first offence the Judge will probably take that in to account, it will most likely be a charge of GBH not attempted murder I?ll be up on. I?ll be making a pretty good case for myself, suitably regretful and ashamed ??I don?t know what came over me your Honour, it was completely out of character, I?m a very non violent person, I guess I?ve been under a lot of stress at work, not sleeping well?..? the Judge will smile benignly and the jurors will start to soften towards me?..then from the public gallery a distinctive sound will reach my ear, and what?s that I can smell..is it?spearmint??..my head will ratchet round 180 degrees and my stare will be met by the familiar chomping motion, flash of teeth and pink wet tongue?the spasm on my left eye will begin?the vein will pop out in my neck?the red mist will descend and before I black out the last thing I?ll remember will be the court police wrestling me to the ground as they prize my fingers away from another gum chewers throat?..



I also don?t like people who put their feet on the seats.

Brendan - the socks 'just vanish' OK.


somewhere between being worn, taken off, going through washing and drying process and back to the sock drawer they 'just vanish'.


feet on seats, why do people do that ? they would not sit there if it was vacant and someone removed their feet from it, so why ?

People that cough without covering their mouths, grumpy deliver drivers, cash for gold gimmicks, moody friends, sleazy bosses, people that sit on the outside of a double seat on the train, late buses, aggressive drunk people, aggressive people, friends that mistreat you, people that push in on trains/in queues/in lifts/on the road/at the supermarket, people that don't use a tissue, people with a short fuse.


*Aaaagh* it's out of my system now!

i don't like the use of 'period' in the american sense, particular when it's spelt out - in english it's pronounced 'full stop' and it's written '.'

A heavily pregnant woman on the train from London Bridge to East Dulwich, rush hour eve last week saving a seat for her husband. Four people tired looking woman tried to sit in the said seat but pregnant woman insisted that the empty seat was taken and that she herself would give her seat up if they didnt leave the other for her husband. Never heard such cheek. When the hubby did find her (5 minutes later) he sat and moaned about the politics of his work for the whole journey. He looked super fit (in a fitness sense) also which added insult to injury...


Since when can you save seats on a busy commuter train by the way???

    • At last a decision…. Hope it lives up to your expectations. Good post though as new eateries appeared which no doubt others like myself will try out. Has changed hands last year but sure that will not bother you…personally always abit concerned if not many eating over lunchtime but  that is just me. Do let us know how food was after all of you have  indulged…was great when it was a cafe and personally hope it is good as I like Turkish food.    
    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
