Louisa, I'm sorry (and I don't mean that sarcastically) if I may have offended you or anybody else out there. I do take it for granted sometimes how lucky I am to even have kids. I don't know anything about you or your reasons for this thread, so I'm bailing out. Will enjoy all your other comments in the morning though! Goodnight everyone.

Don't take this amiss *Bob*, but posting this after my innocent bottom enquiry might be seen in dubious taste.

That's regarding the Louisa/YM arse thing, and nothing of course to do with the taste of the grilled pork dumplings supplied by no doubt hard working Chinese people.

I don't know who is behind Louisa but whoever you are, you are the best on here by fuckhen miles. Daff murderers (and non-existent signs), posh cheese on toast, the People's Paradise of North Devon, the philosophical impossibility of fresh fish - all masterful stuff.


This yummies guff is just a warm-up, isn't it? When are you bringing the good stuff out?

Goodness me I always appear to cause a stir and all I want from life is to achieve a better ED for everyone :-)


I complain about daffodil picking - damage to public property

I complain about lost business in a recession - snow day back in February

I complain about how bad it is that pubs sell pizza and how Pizza Hut is offocially the best selling take-away in Rome..


I provide a public debate about some hot contested issues locally and all I get is ridiculed and made to look like some sort of bad person :-(


I give up going on long distance breaks in future, clearly ED needs me here to raise the profile of issues which otherwise would not get a mention.


Back on topic, these yummies are a menace to cohesion in ED and they must be stopped from ghettoisation in the NCR district before it is too late. We need a McDonalds or similar to open up along that stretch to put a stop to this middle-class infiltration once and for all before it is too late. And to my critics thus far I say this.......YOU ARE TALKING SH*T!!!


Louisa.

apologies for not reading all of this thread- but what in sweet suffering f**k is a 'Yummy'?!!?

does drinking earl grey tea make you middle class then? blimey! So what if you drink earl grey* but also have a penchant for McDonalds? what class does that make you? I also like shoes from Russell & Bromley but I get my knickers from Primark..


* I do drink Earl Grey - Twinings only of course - but I do not stick my pinky finger out whilst holding my (china) cup

    • Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here. 
    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
    • I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
