Ginger is a word that has been pretty much dropped from popular vocabulary - my daughther has bright orange (ginger) hair and all she ever hears is "haven't you got lovely hair" so I reckon the ginger correction has gone so far the other way she might not have to deal with much "gingerism".

Anyway as far as she is concerned her hair is orange and its a brave man who would tell her different.

Sadly it's the other girls that will point it out, you know the blonde sl*gs, when she gets to secondary school 'an all that


Oh, they are cows for it



W**F

I work with a girl who has stunning ginger hair. When she first joined, after about 2 weeks of calling her by her proper name and not getting much of a response she confessed that all her mates just call her Ginge.


We did the "we could never call you that" but she insisted. So now we all do and its dead funny when you forget and do it infront of clients.

Thats what i was getting at. The G word is the latest word you cant use. In all honesty i have only heard it used a couple of times in our daughters 4 years.

Another example of gingerism with affection: I read a lovely story recently about some teenage boys running a charity relay after one of them recovered from cancer. His friend suggested they call themselves 'Team Jaffa Cake' because although he'd lost his ginger hair he was still orange on the inside.

first we had the 'blond' jokes, then the 'ginger'.... I'm keeping my head down as looks like it will be brunettes next...


mind you I've always thought brunettes are the foxiest...http://photo.missbimbo.com/1/425/moy/339441.jpg happy christmas boys!

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
