Does that bother you.. ?


I usually post about being on holiday (Usually ? I hadn't had a holiday for 9 years)

to tell Michael P. I wont be at curry club.


What about those who go on every time they have a Pizza at Franco Manca.. or a Curry at Ganapatti ...

or a meal at Franklins .. or the Palmerston..


Actually don't hear much about F.M. any more, now the Novelty has worn off.. Its all about that Pussey place now.


I don't see the problem with saying I'm away or going away.. Its one of the few things that I get excited about.

I have a good security system with several key holders registered with the police..

I also have VERY nosey neighbours.


After all when I was working I was out all day.


Apart from a 5/6 year old Tele and a couple of old laptops (10 years +)there is sod all worth nicking.


I haven't said exactly when I am going and where I live.

Biggest risk is with rough minicabs picking you up and taking you to the airport.


Burglars often monitor peoples movements.. and wait for you to go out..

Some break in while you are asleep. Some pose as officials. ?


What can you do. ?

No I don't have a problem, just curious as to why you do this as no one else seems to. If it was just a case of telling MP that you won't be at the next CC, fair enough, but it's not just that though is it?

When someone posts about a local eaterie it's not the same thing. Most tend to be a good or bad review, and invite discussion on a local issue. However, if someone were to post that in x number of days they were going to have a meal at xyz, then that's more about them than the eaterie.

Nothing wrong about being excited about a holiday, I am about mine, I just don't feel the need to tell everyone on here at every opportunity.

Any reason why you decided to start such a negative thread about the forum?...

But you know I always get things wrong.. and make things up.. perhaps I'm not actually going anywhere.

and just winding people up.

İf İ didn't post here. Many here would have no one to have a go at.

Their world would dry up.

They would have nothing to say for themselves .


So I just feed the trolls . I'm doing it now .

They love it . They really do.

It should read "vacuum cleaning" , Hoover being a brand and all that


I actually quite enjoyed my last root canal treatment



Talking of canal's, when IS the Lordship Lane one being dug?

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
