What's so special about her voice? Plenty of other kids with better voices not given the opportunity she was given. Wouldn't mind if she stuck to just that, but she felt we all wanted to hear her opinions about everything else, including stuff she clearly knows nothing about. Get off your soapbox love, no one is interested.

1/10


The 1 is for not mentioning clique or bullying.

If you throw hand grenades, expect them to be sometimes thrown back at you...

I was there yesterday and like some of you above, when Charlotte Church came on stage to give her speech, didn't expect much. I was pleasently suprised. She gave a terrific speech, that she'd written beforehand and clearly put a lot of thought into. It's very easy to be cynical and sneer, but how many of you above heard her speech yesterday?


Russell Brand is not the best speaker as we all know. To be honest I think he makes it up as he goes along, but his support does bring coverage of what is for many a serious cause. Austerity is hitting the poorest and most vulnerable people hard, especially people like the disabled. 250,000 people joined that march (a police estimate annonuced on the main stage). And let's remember that only 23.5% of the electorate voted for this miracle conservative majority. They don't represent 76.5% of the electorate at all, some of whom are celebrities and should be free to lend support without being ridiculed.

0/10


The zero is because you and some others keep up with this nonsense of ranking someone out of 10, It's become repetitive and it's getting predictably boring (ring any bells?). When it first started a solid 5 would have been in order, but it's tedious now, almost as tedious as me (apparently).

She was a child with a lot of talent, so obviously people hated her for that. She had an incredible voice, if you found her annoying you should have blamed the parents, not the little girl.


She was a very annoying chat show host / failed pop star, I'll give you that.

After the election she was called a champagne socialist when she went to a rally in Cardiff (I think), and she responded with a blog which I was really impressed with. And I don't like the "champagne socialist" term. It implys that if you have money you should lose all social conscience.

I don't care how posh someone is / sounds.


Posh.. ? She don't sound posh.. That was her TV voice..


I worked in Telecoms and I had my Telephone voice. I was told 'you sound real posh on the phone'

Well it does if I'm speaking professionally. Not so if I'm talking with friends. init.

It's not the issue of austerity being raised, that I or anyone else has an issue with. That is of course an important topic we should all be aware of and I applaud these people for at least raising it. But why is it we need 'z' list celebrities jumping on a bandwagon as the voice of such an important issue? Makes a mockery of the whole thing IMO.

    • This thread brings back hazy memories from the early to mid-90s of a wine shop / off licence off Lordship Lane run by a bibulous chap who specialised in East European wines. It wasn't on a parade of shops but was on maybe Whateley Rd – or possibly Goodrich?? I used to walk past it when heading home from work and would drop in for a cheap bottle of Hungarian plonk. Someone tell me I'm not dreaming this... 🙂
    • The river Peck is partly underground if you live near the park and on its route
    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.
