Can I play devil's advocate for a moment? If you support a charity and wish them to succeed and continue in a difficult financial climate, then surely you can't object to them making an ask of you and others. Which you can choose to ignore. Or, give them a call and ask them to remove you from their mailing list. At least give them a chance to respect your wishes.


You may well not be able to afford that much money. But others will. If you ask people for ten pounds, thats what you will get. Ask for one hundred and if they can afford it that's what people will give. Working in charity I have seen millionaires giving three pounds a month on direct debit - no doubt because a form once arrived asking them for that amount.

I know, I know. But surely for this series to be even vaguely entertaining, the "high income" family will have to be pretty loaded. Hamstead or even Blackheath could be a better bet, perhaps...

It is true, my family are absolutely stinking rich! But we are such modest people, we could never ever allow our family to be on TV (shame)...

what does living in poverty really mean?

When we were young we had no central heating, car or tv. We were happy!! I am unsure about these divisions/lines. Especially when being poor is ( I think) in some cases being in the bottom 10% of incomes. So of course there will always be a bottom 10% of incomes and if this is the definition there will always be poverty. What do others think? ( obviously I am only talking about the UK, there is huge economic poverty in other countries)

Living in poverty. I know someone who is not well and to cut a long story short they're not financially well either, now. But what is IMMORAL is that the very people who can least afford it including my friend is paying a very high rate for their electricity, yet those of us who are not doing so bad can get a cheaper rate, paying for both leccy and gas together by direct debit putting in our useage on line and not getting paper bills and it is all cheaper.


Meanwhile, what IS it about families all the time? Do people never realise how many people don't live in families and consider their friends to be their 'family'?


'Appy Christmas though.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
