With all the talk of the economic downturn and how it's one rule for the politicians and one for us, ask yourself one question.


Have I really got that bad a lot?


Now I understand perfectly if you think "what business is it of his", because at the end of the day...it isn't any of my business.


We also find ourselves being done over by the authorities/establishment/Law such as "was that parking fine justified" or having planning permission turned down.


I was always told that no matter what you're going through, there's always someone going through a lot worse. The clip you're about to see is a very serious case of this. This is a very serious case of being done over by the authorities that I don't think any of you will have to suffer in your lifetime even though at some times it may feel like it in an abstract way. What happens at 0:43 is shocking (just look at the look on the poor victims face) but what happens at 1:15 is quite frankly horrific.

Don't watch it, I beseech you daizie.


It dis nae matter anyway, as my imaginary Scottish Grandfather never used to say.

Wise words Tony, it isn't for the faint hearted. Although if you really want reminding of how small your problems and inconveniences are I'd pay particular attention to the times in the clip that I've noted.


It's barbaric in it's cruelty towards an innocent.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
