Spartacus

Yesterday, that was me on the way to sainsburys Can't let the Romans catch me now can I

Ahh, the traditional smell of the BT air fresher, hint of urine, used to stop people spending hours in the phone box and queues forming. Although it is disgusting that people feel its their rights to treat a utility as their own personal litter bin and urinal. 😔

They said on the news this evening that organised displays start tonight and go on all week up to next Sunday 10 nights ! Used to be only 1 or 2 But its alright, we are still in a cost of living crisis 🫣

As it's Halloween tonight, are we out witch hunting and burning ? 🤣

Unless you are watching it 24x7 then its hard to qualify that its not being used. Unless you are a business overlooking it of course. Personally I am reassured we still have phone boxes as they provide a valuable emergency use. If you are mugged for you phone, you can call 999 from them, if your house or business is on fire and you run out without a phone you can dial 999 from them. Some people don't have a mobile so its potentially reassuring for them knowing they can call someone if they feel unwell whilst out. Just because some people don't see value in an object, doesn't mean others don't.

@Sue, I always had you as a naughty girl, and this behaviour has confirmed it. do 100 lines on the East Dulwich Fourm "I must stop over reacting to other peoples posrs"

Its part of a change all Doctor surgery's are undergoing. The goverment want to stop the 8am scramble for an appointment, and its not just restricted to the Gardens. Sadly, it does impact some who are not digitally savy.

Blimey Sue That was a rough neighbourhood if the birds were nicking your bottles. 😅

I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more

Great story Really wanted to see the championships but ticket pricess were mad

I wonder, if the budget is as painful as some predict, if there will be protests in the streets against the government which might result in either Starmer falling on his sword or chopping Reeves out with it

I see @Sue, a few drinks and dirty men in uniforms working fast and furiously to fill holes with their hot steamy stuff sounds a bit too much like your personal fantasy 🫣

Are they digging for Tin Foil again ? Obs that the have run out of helmets, hence why no one is actually there.

Taking this to the extremes, if Starmer steps down as PM, who would be best to step into the role? This could be different to who would put themselves forward as the better options may not come forward. The grass may not be greener over the fence!

So what do you want to see happen in the site ? The developer has to make money so increasing social housing may not be financially viable and we 100% need more accommodation locally. Also the quote that it will be used by people as second homes is a bit strange, I would have suspected that would be the opposite as people might look to the countryside for a second home, not a semi run down town centre.
