setting of the alarms outwide Bullwood Hall Womens Prison in Essex, age 16 place lit up like a Christmas tree while we were showing our bits to the screaming ladies. 4 police Cars turned up very quickly thinking the ladies had done a bunk.


oh how we laughed done the station at that one

I spent about three hours in a police cell aged 12. I had been caught bunking off school (my mother actually would call the police on such occasions) and they found me in Leicester Square Empire cinema watching A Chorus Line. I think she must have told them to lock me up to scare me..... I got the full works - stripped of my hairband and my money belt. I refused dinner and instead spent the entire time turning pirouettes like some crazed thing - don't think the cell had ever seen such action.


Five years later I came into regular contact over three summers with the old bill as a tap dancer busking in Leicester Square and Covent Garden.... that film had a lot to answer for.

Tis not quite the "southbank" (over side of bridge and all that and not the same complex)


I deviate away from this thread.


Am I considered hard core if I say me m8 got arrested for setting a bin on fire whilst under the influence of slightly illegal substances when he were a teen? ;-)

Scary and also extremely dangerous. Good job we have a world-leading fire service to protect us...;-)

    • I am struggling to understand how Green policies translate to local issues? The Southwark Greens leaflet I received reads like a general wish list but is not locally specific. I know the same can be said of other political parties. What specifically are Greens plans for housing, protecting local parks, council tax, transport and roads/ pavement upkeep, CPZ/LTNs?
    • Politician's moving from one party to another, especially when local is worth discussing. You have to wonder what they are driven by, and particularly in this instance, as their new party is moving in strange directions.
    • To be fair to Sue, she doesn't have to explain or justify why she supports or wants to vote for any party. That is the same for everyone. We are free to decide which party best reflects what we think is important to us. Discussing the stances/ policies of parties, in a general discussion, can be done without targetting anyone commenting here. Politics is just a point of view at the end of the day.  Different things are important to different people, often for very valid reasons. Let's be respectful of that.  My opinion is that if say the Labour Party wants to understand why it is losing supporters to the Greens, it needs to listen to and understand the reasons why. That theme has been explored in this thread a little through the discussion around councillor McAsh. The same is true of the Tories losing support to Reform and the Libdems. Let's not also assume that every member of every party is completely on board with every policy of the leadership of that party either. You only have to look at how backbenchers have forced u-turns from Starmer's cabinet on things like Welfare Reform and WFA to see that. 
    • As a compromise I'd be prepared to trial the reintroduction of dog licensing. The annual licence fee would be the same as road tax for Range Rover (same carbon emissions as a dog) and would require owners to pass a responsible dog ownership exam, the dogs would need to pass training and a behaviour exam and their DNA would need to be kept on record to identify the owners who leave dog shit all over the pavements, so that they can be jailed.
