Swansea was (in my day) much more violent in terms of punching, fighting, cheap shots than here, so I know what he means. Is Colchester an army town too :)


I know London has horrible knife/gun crime, but to be honest, I never see it. It's not usually in my demographic. I haven''t had a fight since I moved here.

Then you need to try a little harder John.

Take a stroll around the Goose Green end of Lordship Lane of a Saturday afternoon and pass a few disparaging remarks about the proliferation of babies, them generally being too noisy and specifically the buggies getting in your way.

Them mothers will f*ck your sh!t up sooner'n you can say 'I'm from Swansea, me'.

You'll know you've been in a fight, believe me I've seen what those Cafe Nerro lids can do.

It hardly ever happens though. Hardly ever. Just be judicious about eye contact with mothers.

Especially them evil mothers.


Anyway JOhnL welcome to the EDF and good to have you on board.

Put several million people together in the same place and all sorts of gruesome things will occur.


However, for that pure casual face punchery of the 'you've got long hair', 'I've just finished my kebab', 'you might be a student', 'you're in my line of sight' kind, smaller towns (like Colchester, Swansea and a thousand others) win hands-down every time.

    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
    • Was it the two proxy votes that had swung it for Cllr McAsh in the first round? Interesting that he lost by two votes in the second. One wonders what the next move for Cllr McAsh is and whether the infighting will continue between the various factions within Southwark Labour?
    • Has anything emerged as to how the reported misinterpretation of rules ruling out proxy votes occurred, or what the specific fault was?  I've found and looked through https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Labour-group-model-standing-orders-2023.pdf, which afaics seems to be a prime relevant document.  It allows for local council Labour groups making minor amendments to cater for their council's particular form of organisation.  I've not seen any _explicit_ mention of proxy voting in the model SOs document itself.  I'm  attaching my notes on it.     re_Labour-Group-Model-SOs.txt
