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.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
    • This has given me ideas for the ginger wine I love, that no one else likes!
