Just as well you didn't say 'invaded'. There only 22 countries Britain hasn't invaded (yet). Here's a map if you'd like to go for the whole set...

I've always been dubious about that map. "Invaded" seems to also include e.g. NATO peacekeeping forces and new countries in old boundaries, rather than the old plant the flag on conquered territory thing which seems to be its implied purpose.

Yeah but they were part of wishy washy cuddly little threads beating about the bush. These two would be more robust and to the point. That kids in pubs thread in general issues needs a good kick up the backside. We need to be talking about employing bouncers to remove mothers and brats for a start. No messing.

Agreeing with Louisa. Should probably be in the "Things that cause you irrational rage" thread...

Why pick on the mothers and not the fathers?

OK 'parents' with kids. But I must say, the quintessential posh mother and brats invading public spaces gets my back up more than any other. Posh dads just need a shave and the removal of any jack wills inspired items on their person (most of the time).


Louisa.

Isn't the point of this thread to list threads you would never actually start? In which case it's a bit silly to argue about something that never happened as it's really just a bit of fun......here's one from me.


Shouldn't the Curry Club thread be moved to the What's On section.

Not about that numbers. It's about having adult only spaces and none of this 'children's zone' crap that half of our locals now adhere to so they can be child friendly and thus boring for the rest of us. Take the kids to a daycare place rather than 'owning' a boozer for the day.

You're not thinking straight Meds, if that happens it won't be part of the 100's game and gone will be the opportunity to childishly annoy MP...

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
