Loving the winter Olympics, and getting strangely engrossed in the curling. It can be quite exciting as the stone goes down. Maybe that's an indication of my life, who cares.


Loving the snowboarding too, just love it all, except the cross-country, biathlon and nordic combined boring or what!! Hours watching people drag themselves across the snow, please, and you say curling is boring??

The snowboard cross is great fun to watch though - utterly nuts. As is the moguls and freestyle skiing.


Curling - I played it while at school and Uni (I even beat one of the Olympic gold-medal winning team on occasion) and while I loved playing it, it's not the greatest spectator sport.

Jealousy on the helmet front I think, a case of 'I can't believe Britain will beat us'. Typical attitude when something new happens, rattles everyone cages. Happens at least once in every Olympics.


But yes, well done to Amy, wish I had stayed up to watch it now.

    • Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next. 
    • IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.  
    • I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!
    • Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
