Posting about getting thrown out of a political meeting in the Tiny Little Things thread has just reminded me that I once threw a buttered scone at the mayor's car. It bounced off the bonnet leaving a highly satisfactory butter smear all across the front, after which I scarpered, promptly.


Any advances on scone-based insurrection?

When I was about 14 me and my mate put tights over our heads and under the cover of darkness went and took down a huge vote labour poster thing opposite our house but my mum caught us and made us put it back even though she always said she wanted to throw paint on it.

They never said a word to me but about a week later in the same pub I got slapped standing at the bar for no apparent reason. I put it down to Da Managment.

When I was very much younger I used to delight in switching the politcal party boards outside homes on my estate, Tories would wake up to to see themselves proclaiming their support for the Labour party, etc. I graduated from this to dousing the boards with lighter fluid and setting them alight.


And to my amusement, just last week under the cover of darkness and cider I defaced a large UKIP billboard at the end of my road by spray painting the words "You should be ashamed of yourselves". It lasted a day before being replaced.


I am not naturally a revolutionary, but I do object to UKIP hoardings outside my home.

With two friends in support I shinned up a flagpole in N. Wales and removed the Welsh Flag flying there as a response to some nationalistic baiting of the three of us by some Welsh earlier that night in a pub. (They objected to one Englishman and two Scotsmen climbing "their" mountains).


The flag remain in the possession of one of my friends.

I wouldn't call it revolutionary but it was in response to Concorde being pulled from service and I was very angry regardless of the reasons/disaster and I sent a very long letter to Bae systems demanding an explanation. I also added a sachet of itching powder. Childish I know but at the time I thought otherwise.

    • It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients. 
    • Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.  
    • Amrutha is excellent, unless you are died in the wool meat and two veg most will find the food to their taste and it certainly isn't a place that expects you to be a sandal wearing vegan. Recommend Matoon too, there are many great places in SE23, SE4 and SE26 if you get chance to get on a bus. Don't have takeaways very often and would only do this when they employ their own delivery people due to all the issues with the slave labour that is Deliveroo and the like (and numerous other issues).  Yes it is a different thread but I can't stop myself reminding people.
    • Hopefully we were just unlucky and it was a one off glitch.
