I'm telling you they are! ;-)



The rubber at the end of your pencil breaking off and shooting across the room mid erase.

It's probably been commented on elsewhere, but people who park so that they take up at least two places.


Guy parked up in my road last week near the disabled parking bay, but just far enough away from it for another car to not be able to fit in. One foot further back and you'd have managed to get another car in. Then he didn't move it for a week (I know it was a guy, as I saw him park up). Was sorely tempted to put a note on his car to ask him to park more considerately, but haven't quite got that bad yet, so just fumed a bit instead... but if he does it again!

Being asked if I'm from the North or the South.

Answering 'the midlands', I'm then asked,'is that in the North or the South'?

I then try and explain that parts of the South are more northerly than parts of the North and vice versa of course.

People tend to give up then and my rage subsides without even mentioning the East and the West.

I remember Candid Camera when I think Bernard Braden was doing it in the 60s. One person stood in the middle of nowhere, another joined and another and another until the queue was miles long and no-one had any idea what they were queuing for.

They urk me too.


But i'm restored by the knowledge that they will leave that dreadful thing on a train/in a bar, after a few refreshing drinks.


We are but temporary guardians of umbrellas.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
