(not like when I was young, we were all miserable).


Talk for yourself - I had a fantastic childhood - most of the summer either on the beach or in the woods building dens (wouldn't be considered safe now)............ I had free meals at school and we were too poor to go abroad on holiday and I had totally bonkers parents - but I was very happy indeed!

May I cordially suggest he try this approach in the Whetherspoons in Peckham.

I'm confident the parents' response will make him long for a Mrs *Bob* style eye tent-pegging.

But actually I'm with Quids, your 'friend' doesn't actually do this, does he?

Bob he still has two eyes so he couldnt have met your other half, I wonder if she knows you fancy me . The thing is, everyone expects everyone to like and tolerate children. I was in Sainsbury's, the checkout woman say's are you collecting books for schools vouchers, I say 'no i dont like children' and everyone near by gasps and stares at me speechless. No humour, nothing, just shocked faces. Result for me as she undercharged and off i strolled leaving the stunned queue behind me .

Nice people, your friend doesn't have a beard does he (or she)? :))

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
