cf a sausage cut in half length ways to look like two sausages, probably on the same plate. You ain't fooling anyone.


(With acknowledgement to "Is it me or is everything sh1t"?)

I won't join in trying to find expletives that will get through the filter ...

From irritating, to making me livid. Limescale, stained tea cups or mugs .. Litterbugs, animal neglect/abuse, bad manners (especially on the road, including bicycles and prampushers) ..


and when you are queueing at the checkout and they open a new one and instead of being first where you should be, you are now last behind a gang of marauding pensioners, who call their gang of friends over to also push in front of you, like they are entitled to be revered for living so long ... THEYVE GOT ALL DAY, (although I did say on one ocasion that I understood time was precious at their age) !!

"Wiltshire Farm Foods. So, Ronnie.. When did you last tuck into a lamb hotpot delivered straight to your door? Grrr


Louisa."


Wiltshire farm foods are the posh bit of "Apetito" the councils meals on wheels people. They are very good. Ronnie gets his wiltshire farm foods in a plastic tray, with an oak tree on a nice label as opposed to the council clients with tin foil tray with an appetite lid, and its delivered hot from the van ... so saving more on electricity/gas.


Wiltshire farm feed two old people ?100 per week approx

Apetito feed two old people 100 per month approx (if council cut price applies)

Threads about croissants. You know gentrification has destroyed a neighbourhood when a dedicated team of forum members contribute towards such a tedious topic. I think the ED 'knob-o-meter' scale has finally hit red and exploded.


Louisa.

Ah Louisa please tell me you're just pushing our buttons again.


The croissant thread is an enjoyable read and a fond reminder of how many threads on the forum used to be people actually chatting TO one another rather than just talking AT each other.


Almond croissants all the way ;-)

I may be wrong, but I would hazard a guess that Iceland croissants are a little less pretentious than the ones you get in other shops. It's not my thing, good luck to you if it is yours, but I just find them pointless.


Queue the barrage of responses of 'croissants are peasant food in France' nonsense from usual undercover guardianista snobs.


Louisa.

Irrational rage today caused by finding a potato caked in mud, in my bag of "washed and ready to use" potatoes. If I wanted a muddy one I would pay extra for organic ones (that's the main difference, right?). Mud on my Tesco Maris Piper is not acceptable.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
