I thought I'd been promised that I would grow up to live in a rational and progressive society which would provide for the greatest good of the greatest number, with intelligent and decent allocation of resources allowing all who possibly could to fulfill their potential.


I'm absolutely certain that we were not going to start imperial wars or send young men to die pointlessly in Afghanistan (you know, what with Rudyard Kipling already having pointed out the gigantic stupidity of that one somewhat previously).


And we can't even manage a vegetarian restaurant in SE22. Hah.

Re. Co-op - don't want to get you all into a froth but in my mums little town of Spilsby, Lincolnshire have always been only two supermarkets, a Co-op and a newish and much better located Somerfield. I went back at the weekend to find that since Co op bought Somerfield they have sold on the quality Somerfield site to Sainsburys (now about to open there next month) and have kept their old site. This strategy would suggest that they are unlikely to keep both sites on Lordship Lane and may not even keep the best one either so I'm sticking with my bet that we'll get something different on one of those sites.

Cate, if you can get a second confirmation from the bloke in the pub then we'll take it as read.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      But a larger number, in a more hotly contested election, didn't. It is an anomaly that Starmer won a landslide in seats with a turnout for Labour which would have shamed Labour leaders in all the 21st and much of the post war 20th century.

      I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!

      New Empanada Place on LL

      that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite

      The Brickhouse closed just before Covid December 2019. Nothing to do with Gails muscling in as they didn't move into till December 2022. Stop trying to fit a false narrative into a story
