The commentator on the Tour de France - stop saying how fecking AMAZING the crowds are, how AMAZING Yorkshire is, how great Britain is at supporting sporting events, how impressive Yorkshire is and how AMAZING the fecking bluddy crowds are!! Seriously. If you've got nowt else to say - shut up!


ETA - later -


Having said that - a few minutes ago waxing lyrical on the scenery "...the bridge over the River Wensleydale..." what a sequel that would have made...

In the last few years I've really come to respect Vanessa Feltz. She's highly intelligent and articulate, and her radio show on BBC London is an impressively high standard. She's also funny, able to laugh at herself and gets a lot out of life. I think a lot of the criticism tends to be driven by covert sexism. Roll on the day when a woman isn't automatically put down for being overweight and over 40, or for (heaven forbid) speaking her mind.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
