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.

    • Does anyone know what happened to the lovely willow tree on the rye? 
    • Long shot, but I don’t suppose anyone has a Sticklinch car parking ticket that they don’t need for Glastonbury? Or could switch with my general parking ticket at all? Thanks!
    • Many years ago, our neighbours were in a Southwark rented property. Both flats in house had access to a shared garden which was fenced off part way with each flat having their own piece of land. The front garden was shared and since both flats had young children, they put up a fence and gate between front door and pavement. Nothing was said by the council and even though those neighbours are now living else where, the fence and gate still remain and Southwark owns the freehold.
    • If you can use it exclusively for yourself for 12 years it might become yours by default under squatters rights? Maybe whack a bench on it and plant some flowers and then a little hedge around the perimeter to keep people out? I'm not sure if any of this is legal but it might be fun finding out?
