It may not be intentional. It was a common schoolboy prank of ours to dye the water in the school fountain various colours. Gentian violet was good for purple.

Why Oh Why in any petrol station can I not find a cold drink which is actually COLD ?

The drinks are installed in a 'fridge' labelled 'cold drinks' but they are positively UNcold to my touch.

If I question the 'coldness' of drinks, however politely, it's taken as some kind of insult or the staff act like the drinks really are cold but it's only me that doesn't realise.

Emperor's new clothes or something like that...

I think ring pulls are outside of Christ?s remit. He?s more for water-into wine, fish sandwiches and leprosy that sort of stuff.

not noticing any aircraft noise (after 6 months of living in ED).


reading all about it on here.


then noticing LOTS of aircraft noise in ED.


wondering if they have recently changed their flight path to specially fly over my bedroom window at 5am (6)


aren't they supposed to fly in a certain way that minimises noise? i read that somewhere so it must be true.

Hmmm... I warned people that changing at Canada Water was not going to be easy...

Agreed Jeremy, but I think that day there was some big exhibition going on at Excel, so more people heading towards Canning Town for the DLR.


I may try staying on the overground til Shadwell and getting DLR from there, although I think it'll take a bit longer.

That this is even a topic for discussion: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8730106.stm



A man should always offer a lady his seat regardless of whether she is pregnant or not. Likewise men should stand aside for women to get onto the bus or train.


Where I grew up this was just normal practice but after moving to London 9 years ago I soon learned that the much touted term, English Gentleman is one of this world?s biggest misnomers.


As if there isn?t enough in this fucking world to make me fucking angry.


Arseholes.

People getting off the front of the bus pisses me off. We have a system that has worked well for scores of years, but some people just want to be different. If you have a very bulky item with you and it makes sense to hang around the front to keep it safe, then fair enough, getting off at the front is reasonable, but otherwise....Grrrr!

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
