I'm personally against penguin suits, think of all the poor penguins that have died in the name of fashion. Although the suits are pretty waterproof.


(Please disregard this comment if the suits are made from the Penguin chocolate bars,it would get a little messy when it rains.)

Look, as I think most people reaslised, when I said should we glam up I meant - pull your favourite dress out of the back of the wardrobe or put on a pretty top or jewellery (as Moos suggested) or wear something red or sparkly for Christmas.


I didn't, of course, mean get your hair done, buy a whole new outfit, go completely nuts.


And anyway, as I've said already, it was only a suggestion.


But the point of the drinks has always been to be inclusive, so if the idea of dressing up would put anybody off then it's not a good idea.

Oh yes. And Christmas tree ornament earrings, natch.


But more seriously, an elegant shade of garnet, yes indeed. I think you would look lovely. Anna and Mathilda can wear orange-red or scarlet. LegalEagle and I can wear ruby red. Belle and buggie (damn them) can wear whatever shade of red they please. There's a red for us all. Possibly even under the bed, if we get really lucky, fnar.

*Shudders*


I'm sorry but I really must complain about you using the C-word. There are some of us here of a frail and nervous disposition who are not only offended but appalled by your flagrant disregard for other people's feelings in using this dreadful word in such a casual manner.


Consider yourself ticked off.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
