'Most people worry about what they eat between Christmas and New Years, when they should actually worry about what they eat between New Years and Christmas'.


The new years festivities are over. The liver is back to functioning at normal levels, the champagne glasses neatly stored in the kitchen cupboards and the rolls of streamers tucked away until the next cause for celebration erects itself. As we drift back into routine and a working week, we are so frequently hit with the question of new years resolutions that small bruises are starting to form. It is the ultimate in smalltalk, post-festiveseason. My question is, are new years resolutions really necessary? They provide us with a sense of hope and potential, filling our hearts with the future possibility of true happiness, love and success. We tell our colleagues, our friends, our family; 'This is the year I [quit smoking/stop drinking/lose weight/find a better job/find a better boyfriend/find God/dye my hair green etc.]', but come mid-January, I see only the pressure of these goals we get from ourselves, our friends, our family and our colleagues coming down on us when asked 'So have you [quit smoking/met sobriety/stopped eating cake for breakfast/quit your job/dumped him/been to church/found a stylist] yet?'. Do you feel pressured? Have you started on your goals yet? I say ditch the new years resolutions and focus on a balanced all-year round approach to achieving your goals.http://www.postalgold.info/

    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
