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.

    • Large supermarkets, the big shop, not relying on mum getting the bus into town, longer opening hours, end of price controls and other restrictions.  All affected the high street well before the internet.   Rye Lane is still pretty buzzy.  Loads of independent shops.  Modern life is not always rubbish 
    • Don't know about Lordship Lane, but Rye Lane 50 years ago would be four deep on the pavement on a Saturday, not no more then.  Amazon and the supermarket home delivery services have one heck of a lot to answer for. Stop using them, get back to the shops before the choice becomes so limited. In fact, do one thing, ditch using Amazon. 
    • Adding a recommendation for Andy, who just did a job for us hanging heavy mirrors and pictures in our house. He gave a clear and fair price, works very tidily, made sure that I was happy with the work and placement of the pictures and is very pleasant to have around. 
    • In what sense? Be more specific  (and I have worked in retail and hospitality)  nothing I said is in any way anti-retail as far as I can see  Out of interest and for comparison, which country do you think gets it right to a significant degree?
