its the second one, though only after a bit of experimentation ;)

To be quite honest, although I knock it, I honestly think Lordship Lane is a fab high street. If I didn't have two young kids I would definitely use its bars and restaurants more, and have a higher disposable income to spend at some of the 'organic' shops.


Put it this way, if we had a high street like the ones in Penge, Sydenham or Annerley...and even Forest Hill...then we would have cause for complaint. Ahem.

Lizziedjango, you are so right. This afternoon I strolled up to the polling station buried in the Lordship Lane estate (up towards Harvester) and that short parade of shops up there is a little sad.


(The one half-decent place is the plant shop but when I tried to buy some pots for potting up was told "there's no money in pots".)


I'm looking forward to the Italian caf next to the bank.

There used to be a travel agency in Lordship Lane, and it closed down.


There is still one at the ED end of the main shopping street in Peckham (can't remember its name, Rye Lane?) on the right hand side coming from ED. At least, I think it's still there.


I'm amazed how any of them stay open these days of the internet.

And Brixton's Ritzy is almost as convenient and considerably less crap, and the Clapham Picture House is actually a little cinema, though of course a little further and in that Ham.

The one that sounds like it's a village with the sort of malady that 60s and 70s musicians got sorted out out with a course of penicillin.


Bloody hell Moos, sorry for rambling on like that,

I'll only get back on the good foot if I get the crispest possible reply from you.

It can be terse even, I shan't mind that.

Frankly a bit of terseness would probably work wonders as far as...Oh, Bugs Bunny just stuck his head up and said 'This ain't Pismo Beach'.

Classic.


Sorry, got a bit distracted at the end there, jiggered if I can remember what I was going to suggest "would probably work wonders as far as".

Honestly I've a mind like a Prime Minister these days.

Louisiana, a possible candidate for Chancellor Of The Exchequer, brainstorms her first budget.

Shampoo? About time there was a heavy duty surcharge on it.

'Put it in the bank, or go lank'

That could be your motto.

The surcharge will going on cat-poo, not shampoo. The cat poo that gets pooed onto my lawn by an evil black feline. ASBOs for cats. And I would of course reclassify Jaffa Cakes and chocolate and chocolate digestives as food, and consequently not liable to VAT.


As for my - ahem - candidature, I'm keeping my lines of communication open and wearing my trousers over my jimjams tonight. This will be a night of the long knives and the conspiratorial call may come through at any time.


But back on subject, I'd like to see a tea room and ice cream parlour in the grounds of the Dulwich Library. Did I mention that other local essential, proper ice cream, with proper wafers?

I think there is some sort of travel agency in the back office at Property In.


Can't agree that the Ritzy is only a bit less convenient, either walk in less than 20 minutes or wait an era for the 37 - could miss the start of the film waiting for the 37 - in fact could miss the entire film if there is bad traffic in Peckham and the 37's have all got stuck.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
