References suggesting that perambulators are some kind of socioeconomic indicator that can be used to measure property price, organic produce consumption, political affiliation, latent racism, class prejudice, newspapers readership, the downfall of civilized society and the onset of Armageddon or any other contrived conclusions other than that they are a traditionally convenient means of transporting a young child.

Absolutely not Steve, do not mess with the Eye, it's a touchstone in an ever-changing world. Get glasses or a magnifying glass.

Heed the fate that became Melody Maker when it became an A4 Smash Hits style glossy. Bit the dust it did.

I don't think old 'Slopper' Hislop would contemplate any changes, but please don't go putting ideas into his head.

Stand in the queue at Sainsburys, M&S, Tesco etc. with a ?1.85 sandwich in their hand for 10 mins, looking at the ?1.85 label and arrive at the till, only to be told by the cashier that in fact it IS ?1.85 and then rummage around in their stupid trophy handbag for the said ?1.85 as though its a bl**dy surprise!

Pay for a ?1.85 sandwich with a switch/maestro/visa card.


That's all.....for now.

I restate. I wish they were that poetic. If they could really quote the Messiah, or Blake, or the German Romantics, I could forgive them. But they all have some crazy born-again tediously expressed texts in rotten English.


One can forgive so much for poetry, for art...

    • Could East Dulwich or Forest Hill work? Some properties on Underhill Road and Wood Vale have large gardens e.g.  https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/161079866#/?channel=RES_BUY  You'd be close to the Horniman, Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye. Transport might not be what you're looking for though e.g. a 15 minute walk to Forest Hill station for the East London line or mainline into London Bridge.
    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't. 
    • It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤
    • Hi Forumites, This afternoon someone in a dark blue/black saloon car collided with my parked car on Thompson Road, SE22 9JR. I have a neighbour’s doorbell cam footage of the collision at 14:30 19/09/2025 but am unable to identify the registration plate. If anyone has footage of a car travelling down Thompson Road towards Crystal Palace Road at that time please PM me. Of course if the Perp would like to confess they can also PM me. Thankyou.
