Cheers for that PGC.

The next time I play pretend rugby with my made up 15, (named the 'Roaring Boys', the other non-existent 14 weren't keen, but I had the sham casting vote) I'll be sure and certain to visit a load of old cobblers shop and pretend to purchase a tin of saddle soap.

Actually bollocks to all that I'll pretend to nick it and the imaginary shopkeeper can run after me while I show him a clean pair of heels. In my mind the heels are attached to a pair of deep purple Church's brogues. But there I go being fanciful.

Any way where was I? Oh, the imaginary shopkeeper chases me for a few hundred yards, but I outrun him (yea right) and ends up shaking his fist ineffectually at my rapidly disappearing back (yea f@cking right)

Any way I get home all exhausted and that, and what's waiting on the doorstep for me?

Only the new Beatles remastered box set, autographed by all four of the Beatles.

Don't know how they manage it, but I'm glad that they do.

Love Me Do? Not something I'd admit to in mixed company.

Help? I'll have all I can get thanks.

Ticket To Ride? Uncanny, it's like they knew the Oyster card was going to happen.Gives me goosebumps.

Don't you know LB a sense of humour will not get a man anywhere with a girl. A girlfriend/wife is the only person in a man's life who does not find him funny.

That's my experience anyway - these women train themselves to roll their eyes rather than laugh - they get so good at it that it becomes an automatic response to even the funniest things. Its an amazing skill. My wife is really good at it.

Libby, I tip my hat and waggle a glass in your general direction for one of the finest pieces of sarcasm it's been my pleasure to receive.

Skol!

And when someone close to you says "That's funny" accompanied by a tight-lipped smile, where once there was a thrown-back-headed throaty 'come to bed' sort of laugh, it just makes you want to go dancing in traffic, doesn't it?

Or something or other.

Let's see now, soon BBW will be flirting with LibertyFlush and they would be engaged in acts of mutual ...er... admiration. I just wish that this young man would confine his fantasies to the privacy of his top bunk from now on. The musings of an adolescent boy are not really for me...
Let's see now, soon D.M will be flirting with the notion that LibertyFlush would be engaged in acts of mutual ...er... admiration. I just wish that this middle aged woman would confine her fantasies to the privacy of her bathroom from now on. The grabby desperation of an old witch are not really for me...

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
