Just seen this... Bread Ahead is the guy who was head baker at St John until last year (Justin Gellatly). The doughnuts are basically the same, but with a wider variety of fillings.

The trouble is that the fewer young people who vote (partly as a result of Brand's rantings) and the more older people vote, Governments will feel that they need to pander far more to older voters and keep on giving various benefits to old gits like me. That can be seen quite clearly in the policies of Osborne who is desperately trying to persuade people like me to vote for him. But sorry George, I won't.

As it's a while ago I was trying not to name names, but yes, that's the one.

Yeah I'll give him that.

That annoys me. He's done some drugs in his youth and enjoys shagging good looking women. Wow, big shocker, I think we're all junkies by his definitiotn.



> However he's an eccentric Englishman which is a very good thing and I prefer him to just about every politician.



Well yeah, but that's like saying I prefer flea bites to cancer.

This is brilliant, nearly in tears laughing!


I think my top annoyance is that I always try and make space for people walking the opposite way on the pavement but it seems very few people do the same. Makes me mad and so I have started to play chicken with people to see how close they'll get before moving an inch and really want to drop my shoulder for a dump tackle (not very ladylike!).


Although interestingly I have found that many more people in East Dulwich give way (both walking and driving) than in other parts of London - and I've lived in quite a few different parts of London.

Then my rage towards this tiny thing is indeed irrational.

Agreed. LOVED Halloween as a kid. These days it seems we've taken all the shit aspects of the American version without all the stuff that makes the American version good. So now it's just all about trick or feckin treat.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
