Open front doors, where things were relaxed and you could walk in and say hello to your friends and neighbours. No trust anymore.


Going to find your friends wherever they were, at home or in the park, without having to use a phone.

Drinking alone again Steveo? You should have got Jah round for a meeting


- in the 80s it would have been back from the pub at closing then wine out of tea mugs until the boozers reopened at 5.30pm or invited into a directors office for a 'large one' from the director's drinks cabinet.


Nowadays tedious time passing and clockwatching (i don't think many are working)....but at least we get 'dress down' Friday eh....

Malumbu - back in the day, we used to go straight into our friends homes it was a good thing and we were always made to feel welcome or plonk ourselves down and say who wants a cuppa and there was lots of laughter. On facebook and twitter nowadays who's to know if you were dead or not.

    • Lost morning of 5th November between Archdale Road  and Denmark Hill station via Lordship Lane.
    • Was planning to come on here to ask if anyone might know which celeb/royal came through Lordship Lane yesterday - was on my way up to Spurs, on bus at the roundabout by the EDT when some whistling police cyclists pulled the traffic to the side of the road to allow a biggish range rover to shoot past, on the way up towards Dog Kennel Hill. Could only make out two, maybe middle-aged, men in the front before it passed. Mildly hysterical lady on pavement was laughing/screeching with her friend that they were desperately trying to find out who it was. Had more reason to post after this lunchtime's experience. Had just got to bus stop opposite the M&S by the station when some mini cooper thing bombed through the traffic, swerving across to cut up another car to get up the hill, before two or three police cars followed about 20 seconds behind. Said mini cooper thing then reappeared coming the other way, beeping its horn to get other cars out the way before it bombed up what I think was Elsie Road, with police cars now on both sides of the road by Maxin trying to stop traffic getting in the way/half the speeding car. Bit more than I had bargained for when I set out/want in local area! Stay careful out there folks, this place is getting scarier...
    • The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open
    • You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose.
