Christ Xena, I thought my school were martinets.

They used to beat the crap out of us, bet never actually removed body parts.

The school of hard knocks indeed.

it was indeed HonaloochieB and all I did by mistake to receive this punishment was fall off a cliff face on a school climbing holiday


That Mr Black was a real hard nut and took punishment to extremes but it didn't do me no 'arm !!!

Can I just ask - how bored are you exactly ?

I suspect your observations have been made at night when there is a higher percentage of drunks rolling out of the various pubs and bars on Lordship Lane. Alternatively it could be the number of people who go running down Lordship Lane without proper running training and thus are now carrying injuries. I suggest you contact a local physiotherapist for their thoughts on the matter.

Next you'll be telling us you've just spotted a 3-legged Australian go past by the name of Jake The Peg.

Don't be silly.


But the count since my last post (And I'm afraid I failed to check the whole time) is:


1 man and 1 woman with sticks (left leg)

1 man with a stick (right leg)

1 woman with 2 sticks (both legs)

1 woman with crutches


Add those to the ones I posted earlier and you've got to admit. That's a lot of dodgy legs in one day.

    • A lot of this is down to why the high street came into being in the first place  consumer demand  And now times has changed and consumers behave differently.  And businesses adapt to that.  It’s a bottom up approach as opposed to something imposed upon us.   It’s not to my tastes. But what do people expect to happen.  Jazzer is on to something when he says boycott Amazon - but the reality is even many who boycott Amazon choose other or more ethical alternatives. But still online  going into town for “a shop” just isn’t what people do anymore  Yeah but that’s not a real comparison. And “for ill” glosses over a lot of wrong as well  but we live in 2025 now and any of us oldies who think when we were 20 was the best time ever, a time we should go back to are just pining for our youths  there is no country in the world that can turn back the clock.  So in 2025, where is the closest vision of somewhere you would like.  Because if you look globally you don’t just get capitalism.  You can choose dictatorships or communism too 
    • Kramer is great, met her a couple of times.  Told her the story of when she ran for Mayor and didn't attend a community event as she didn't want to spoil Ken (Livingstone)'s love in.  Amused me and her no doubt
