Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh

we are now free to travel. which broadens the mind. apparently. If you are our age (mid 60's) then you must realise, from henceforth, we are left behind. My missus complains that our daughters use the 'Muuuuuuum salutation as a means of describing idiocy. If they knew the half of what we,singly and together 'got up to' before they were born, they would have a hard job believing it. Lucky for them we will never ever tell them.

addendum: in 2 parts

a) if I had my wits about me at the time and knew then what I know now etc I would never have agreed to a 'family' Christmas when my wife's parents would descend and reduce my wife to tears within the hour and

b) watch grumpy old men/women at Christmason youtube to know you are not alone.

stay strong y'all tis only once a year

I never wanted to hold a snake but was obliged to when my son left the nest and left behind Snakey. His pet from his reptillion days. I was left holding the snake as it were as Snakey needed to be looked after. My holding a snake is on a par with your fear of heights.

The guy/girl who says nothing all bus journey but as the door

opens to get out strikes up a conversation with a long

lost mate whilst everyone waits to move on :)

Great, a thread for me.


Why does everyone (including older people) walk round looking at a screen. Why can't I go to gigs any more (and this will soon include the theatre) as so many people video the whole event, or worse spend their time texting or tweeting their views, or even worse play that candy thingy game.


Why has the anticompetitive Apple corporation got so many of us by the short and curlies. Why hasn't the might of the US legal system / antitrust system taken them on when they are brave enough to take on Fifa.


Why have we made Britain, in particular London, a safe haven for money laundering, in particularly in property.


Where have all the good pubs gone, and why do you lot drink expensive fizzy beer because it is 'craft'


Me, I'd rather spend my time moaning on this forum. None of these points above are for debate, just humour me!


Happy New Year.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By first mate · Posted

      I do not know how old you are, but if you are clearly an older person ( please forgive if not the case) I think what these kids did is even more despicable. It seems clear this is not just misguided hijinks.

      Ring doorbell question etc

      By IlonaM · Posted

      Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.
