Possibly not the same people though!

Well they seem to have got fed up with transporting this one, as it appears to have been dumped right outside the patio doors. Apart from the fact that it's not in an aesthetically pleasing position in the garden, it must be quite hard to get past it, especially if you are carrying something outside!

Well, I was interested to find that out. Another reason not to shop there.

I can't offer to do it, but wisteria has to be pruned twice a year. So you need a gardener who knows what they are doing rather than someone who will just come and hack it back regardless (though it might need that). https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/wisteria/pruning-guide Good luck! PS Has it flowered in previous years? Apparently they don't flower when they are young.

Well, it's always easy to find something to criticise others for. I don't think Earl has ever been banned?

Thank you, I haven't noticed those before.

What post are you replying to?

I think it's absolutely hideous 🤣 "Mystical space" ? How are they defining "mystical" exactly?

Do you have a link? I'm interested to see the wording.

Yes, I did mention the train, which I now get from East Dulwich to Guys instead of the 40. Depends where in East Dulwich you are starting from which route is easiest! I think it is probably lack of staff rather than lack of hospitals which is the problem?

I believe there is a minor injuries department at Guys, though I may have misremembered. Not very convenient for SE22 now the 40 no longer goes near. You have to get 2 buses or a train. Charging people (not sure if you mean financially or legally) would waste a lot more time, I would have thought? And a bad bruise could be serious, depending on the cause and possibly other symptoms.

Good news - parliamentary debate scheduled for 19 January! Dear Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed – “Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only”. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559 The debate is scheduled for 19 January 2026. Once the debate has happened, we’ll email you a video and transcript. Thanks, The Petitions Team House of Commons

I'm sure it wasn't meant with any genuine concern, but that's rather different from questioning someone's mental health. Isn't it? I have never understood this "passive aggressive" thing. I was once accused of being passive aggressive, but when I asked exactly how I was being passive aggressive, I got no response. Why do you think it was passive aggressive, and why do you think it was so bad as to warrant these "more stringent rules" being introduced? Have they been publicised somewhere on here, because I genuinely don't recall seeing them?

Thanks, I didn't know that. People are even more stupid than I thought then, if they are willing to wait hours in A&E for an ingrown toenail. I presume they don't get put at the front of the queue. Why isn't the 111 service more widely advertised? That puts you in touch with a doctor, who will advise on the phone or visit, and if necessary you will be advised to go to A&E or they will arrange an ambulance to take you.
