Any B&B will end up full of foreigners dysfunctional families and drug dealers on council housing waiting lists all being paid for by our council tax payments to Southwark.

I lived next door to such a B&B in Clapham it was hell, drug central eventually it was closed down but we suffered 3 years of torture lambeth were paying as much as ?1000 a month per room absolutly criminal.


NO B&B?s please.

I find myself shocked that one with such astounding wit and humor does not find themselves in better circumstances than posting snide pathetic comments. I truly hope that one day I find myself in such dire need to bemoan my circumstances that I take to a forum like this, where I can dress up my envy so expertly.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
