Has the word "trendy" now come full circle and it is now - uh - trendy again to use it? We only used the word ironically back in the 60's but, hell, what do I know?! The thing about being "exclusive" though is that if you take it too far you end up going bust...

I seriously doubt it! It is only ever used in the most un-trendy circumstances. e.g. "trendy choir", "trendy Women's Institute", "trendy crap bar".

Of course you have.

The word trendy when accompanied with fists held at waist level and a waggling of the shoulders indicates the latest up to the minute togs that will certainly lead to you pulling a 'little raver'. Sorry that should be a 'little raver'.

Did Mr Lucas toil all those years in Grace Brothers for us to learn nothing about sexy menswear?

Sadly these days Young Mr Grace would be unlikely to tell us we'd "All done very well", but rather have c@nted us all off.

Young Mr Grace would have been still pulled off from the scene by his nurses, but he'd have taken no joy. None at all.

And Captain Peacock would have cared neither jot nor tittle about any of them.

Callous old queen.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
