I like a nice cup of Tea in the morning

Just to start the day you see

And at half-past eleven

Well my idea of Heaven

Is a nice cup of Tea.

I like a nice cup of Tea with my dinner,

And a nice cup of Tea with my tea,

And when it?s time for bed,

There?s a lot to be said,

For a nice cup of Tea!s

"A Nice Cup of Tea" from "Home & Beauty" Sung by Gracie Fields Rex 9114

Tea, tea and tea - coffee rarely. Yorkshire used to do a Kenyan (Sainsburys had it) but can't find it now, I like Birchalls and like a dabble with a black Lapsang and a milky Chai now and then but good strong builders is my pref.


Like loose tea in a pot when I can be arsed (usually only Sunday morn): cup & saucer instead of mug, tea cosy, strainer, all the trimmings.

I have coffee in the morning and at various points throughout the day (too much probably). That said I do like a nice cuppa and actually it's probably a better brew to have first thing. I may try changing my routine so as to start with a char.


Clipper Tea is my preferred brand.

3:00 p.m. rise


3:05 Chivas Regal with the morning papers, Dunhills


3:45 cocaine


3:50 another glass of Chivas, Dunhill


4:05 first cup of coffee, Dunhill


4:15 cocaine


4:16 orange juice, Dunhill


4:30 cocaine


4:54 cocaine


5:05 cocaine


5:11 coffee, Dunhills


5:30 more ice in the Chivas


5:45 cocaine, etc., etc.


6:00 grass to take the edge off the day


7:05 Woody Creek Tavern (or the East Dulwich Tavern) for lunch-Heineken, two margaritas, coleslaw, a taco salad, a double order of fried onion rings, carrot cake, ice cream, a bean fritter, Dunhills, another Heineken, cocaine, and for the ride home, a snow cone (a glass of shredded ice over which is poured three or four jig?gers of Chivas.)


9:00 starts snorting cocaine seriously


10:00 drops acid


11:00 Chartreuse, cocaine, grass


11:30 cocaine, etc, etc.


12:00 midnight, Hunter S. Thompson (or Steveo) is ready to write


12:05-6:00 a.m. Chartreuse, cocaine, grass, Chivas, coffee, Heineken, clove cigarettes, grapefruit, Dunhills, orange juice, gin, continuous pornographic movies.


6:00 the hot tub-champagne, Dove Bars, fettuccine Alfredo


8:00 Halcyon


8:20 sleep

I was ready to reach for the heroin after playing a mere snippet of Dulwich Fox's Gracie Fields cat scraping down a blackboard screechings. I'm sure there must have been many a British Tommy during the second world war who hurled himself into German gunfire after being subjected to her tuneless warblings. As Spike Milligan was to note in his memoir Mussolini: His Part in My Downfall, "she's as funny as a steam roller going over a baby."


Anyway, I'm more or less moribund before two large mugs of coffee with my cigarettes in the morning after rising from my pit. Tea is for the afternoon, preferably with a couple of Hobnobs.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
