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.

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
