People sat right next to anyone doing the following (but not saying anything about it when they are clearly annoyed):

Worse - parents who sit their happily whilst their little darling plays a game with the sound on. Teach them good manners FFS.

i.e. passive-aggressive commuters who give the odd stare/glance but never say a fecking word and leave it up to people like me to say something even though we are clearly a little far away to be in the actual 'annoyed' zone but still far enough to be in the 'if I was next to you I'd be annoyed' zone.


Oh, and having to use public transport...

I helped a tourist struggling with two wheelie bags (one ickle, one big) down stairs to the C&D platform the other day.


Near the bottom she started screaming at me, I turned to her looking a bit shocked and she said

- 'oh not you, him'


I turned to see her incredibly chastised husband standing sheepishly at the bottom of the stairs.


I mouthed 'sorry' at him and scarpered!!

That actually caused me joy Loz. Going to towel down to that before heading to Bishop to sit in in the sun with Surfbobby for a couple of hours.

"The next station stop will be Forest Hill". What's wrong with "The next station will be Forest Hill?"


"Platforming difficulties". Reminds me of the old gag "The train now standing at platforms 1, 2, 3 and 4 has come in sideways".

I think that just means its the next station the train will actually stop at rather than speeding past many others.


I find country stations annoyingly dusty - is that irrational?

This isn't irrational rage but I'm going to put it here anyway rather than start another 'to the person who...' thread. Irrational upset perhaps.


When I got to my station this morning there were problems with trains so I cycled to Denmark Hill to get the overground round to the City. It was standing room only as usual. At the next station loads more people got on and I was pushed quite hard and struggled to stay upright - I'm a bit unsteady at times as I have problems with tendons in one ankle that KCH hasn't been able to fix.


As I tried to get myself stable the woman who had pushed me started making comments. I tried to brush them off but she got quite personal. I'm not going to repeat what she said but it hit a nerve and I ended up in tears, which I'm ashamed to say I'm still struggling to shake off completely. I could tell from her instant aggression and tone of voice that she was looking for someone to take her feelings out on, and in her anger perhaps she didn't realise how it might sound to the person on the receiving end.


My point is, please think before you vent your bad feelings on a stranger who just happens to be in front of you.

    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
