Totally agree with everything you have said, Cupid.

The opening bars of Sir Dennis Brown's 'How could I Leave?' is the only song capable of stopping me in my tracks sending a tingle of emotion and memory down my spine.

I suspect most of us singing the virtues of this particular genre and era of a similar age and like to be reminded of our carefree youth!


Hence, I'm going to the BT dance on Wednesday to hear all these great tunes around like minded people.

Anyone else going?

Someone called me "curly locks" earlier today and I was reminded of this classic...been listening to Byles's beautiful voice since...feels and sounds utterly sublime to me and I can't believe that I haven't listened to it for so long...

    • If it’s not their responsibility then it’s not their responsibility. If it’s that of one of the properties on that parade, that property own must take action.
    • Disappointed with all this negativity. I do occasional favours for mates or neighbours,  I sometimes charge a modest amount.  I know my capabilities, and those accepting my help understand too.  They may at times repay the favour.  To date I have not stolen anything, set anything alight or molested anyone.  Everything I do is within the relevant regulations eg I would move a plug socket hut not rewire the house. It's what people have done no doubt for 1000s of years. I do not compete with builders.  My usual response eg following requests on the street Whatsapp is to advise that much of jobs should be a simple DIY. I'm surprised how many house holders have so little experience, more so as the millennials move in. The Lets scheme is highly regulated. Meanwhile some of us may let a casual worker into our home, perhaps cash in hand, without checking their credentials.  There is still a considerable black market out there.  What I do is so little time, I'm not depriving professionals of serious business.  A contact who asked me to repaint her buy to let was told a clear no.  
    • Ongoing water leak from forecourt of former Tile Giant & crossing pavement to road (opposite former Grove Tavern) reported to Thames Water yesterday evening - they said not their responsibility, but said it was owner's responsibility. Warned TW that likely ice overnight, but wouldn't budge.
