its a bit weird isnt it ? Odd that something so basic and fundamental is shrouded in vagueness ... something else that bugs me is when I go to sign on In there eyes I am a customer ..... eh ? .... how is that so? ...do I buy anything from the job centre ? no .


We are also customers when we take a train journey . ok thats fair enough , we have to buy a ticket . ... still prefer the word passenger though ....



and another thing .... blah blah blah

My mother used to tell me off for saying Zero, because Zero is American, and Naught or as we now spell it Nought is English. So now I'm confused..

Only if you don't like doughnuts and prefer eating nothing. I'm afraid I'm not in agreement with you on this one Moos.

Slightly off topic, but it really bugs me when people say 020...7, not 0207. I know which way's correct an' everyfink, but it's still annoying.


Also, with mobile phone numbers, people who say their number in a really weird way, because they think it's more memorable. Unless it's relayed to me in the form of 5 digits then 6 digits, or at least 5 digits then 3 and 3, I'm left completely bemused.

    • Hello. Did you hear any further on this? Was there anyone at the council who was helpful to speak to? I am in a similar boat. 
    • Dear all, Bit of a random ask but in such a supportive and accepting community, I thought I'd see if anyone had time to help 🙂 I'm conducting research for my MSc Psychology dissertation, using a brief anonymous survey to explore romantic and polyamorous relationships and how/if attitudes around this interact with factors such a family history and family making. The survey should take no longer than 10-15 mins and has been approved by the University of Roehampton. I'm hoping to circulate the survey widely enough that the data gathered is representational of the diversity in modern society across various aspects that constitutes personal identity. Some of the questions are of a personal nature and others could be considered a bit 'spicy', but just to reiterate, this is an anonymous survey.

    • Sebastian has been missing for nearly 24 hours. This is very unlike him. He’s chipped so identifiable by a vet. Please don’t feed him if you find him - he’s greedy but has kidney disease so has a special diet
