I remember collecting a jam jar full of farthings until I figured out that thrupenny bits and tanners were a better investment.


Those were the days: a one and a half penny Jamboree bag, a halfpenny sherbet bomb and a farthing?s worth of flying saucers and liquorice would see me through the week.


My first pack of cigarettes was five Woodbines ? biggest mistake of my life, I reckon.

If posters want to accuse others of not being genuine, either as to who they say they are, or in the information being posted, why not accuse them directly via a Personal Message ? Rather than playing judge and jury and condemning them publicly. Basically it's like calling someone a liar, which, surely, you need to be pretty damned sure about don't you - and what's with having to advertise publicly that you're calling someone a liar ?

Weird.

The freedom to 'out' suspected ne'er-do-wells in an open fashion, should you feel you have cause, is an essential tool and natural check against the freedom for any old Tom, Dick or Harry to register, log-on and tell 12,000 potential readers that they, for example, own a highly recommended chateau in France.


Famous 'Busteds!' - of which there have been countless on here - are all part of the fun.

Quite right *Bob*, quite right.


Although for the real 'Caesar on the steps of the senate' blood bath you've got to rally your allies with over 2 or 3 pages of poisonous insinuation before you commit. Otherwise it's like calling "100", and everyone soon forgets about it.

I seem to remember that the 'role' if it was one, was played by an 'old character' who could see the going on's from his window.

I am very very confused.


I would just like to add that it's a full-time job being me, so I applaud those of you who find the time to be more than one person. Really ? it?s not as if men are any good at multi-tasking so I don?t know how you manage. Any tips for us lesser mortals?

I've got a feeling we're about to be subject to a female feat of multi-tasking in the form of a strong collective expression of indignant self-righteous scowling whilst typing scathing - yet uncharacteristically rational - attacks at every swinging dick on the forum.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
