Forget all this X-Factor crap, what about "Capital", broadcast last night on BBC1?


I know it was generically set in South London, but it could almost have been a parody on current day ED, don't you think?


The big question arising though, for those that saw it, is this: was the character Arabella Yount based on Louisa?

The blurb I read said the book was set in Clapham, and the TV adaptation is set in Balham/Tooting. I don't think there was any mention of Tooting as such, although there was a shot of Tooting Broadway tube station. SW21 was mentioned, but that doesn't exist. I got the impression it was supposed to be somewhere like the 'toast rack' area betwixt the Commons...

Well this adaptation quickly fizzled out, didn't it, after a promising first episode I felt.


Yep,????, agree about (boringly) predictable characterisations.


Decided Arabella Yount wasn't based on Louisa !!!! far to nasty a character to be "our Louisa".


But the big question after last night's final episode is this: does Louisa make Mr. Louisa forego Newsnight some evenings?

Question, with regards to the ?100k found behind the wall by the builder, we were informed that as the notes were very old the money was worthless. Does anyone know is this in fact true? The very few GBP notes I have all denote the following, "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of", depending on the value of the note, it does not specify an expiry date. Am I correct in thinking that if these notes were presented to the Bank of England, they would in fact be exchanged for present day currency, providing of course the notes were not forgeries?

I actually had this recently, so I thought it inaccurate as well.


Some old British notes were taken in by my bank and credited to my account. A bank can no longer physically exchange them for current notes, though.


I also had some old Irish notes, but these were "sent off to the BofE for a decision"(my bank's words) to see if they would exchange them, which they wouldn't, the reply being that they were to old.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
