I absolutely don't buy for a second a woman as clued up as you feigning this type of ignorance. Nice try though :)

In exchange for this thing you call 'ice', I have also observed people handing over little rectangles of paper with a posh woman's face on one side.....


Then the best part is, the supermarket hands back little discs of metals with the same posh woman's face on one side....!

Aaah, that'll be that 'money' these blow-ins use, they're too lazy to toil in the fields and lug the fruit of their labours to market to trade for what they need. Instead the slack bastards do something they call 'work', for which they get this new-fandangled 'money' which they use to trade in those shop things for the stuff they think they need, like ice.

Wish we could go back to the good old days.

I wish I'd 'discovered' frozen bags of ice cubes much sooner. Why did I ever bother with those bloody stupid novelty pineapple, elephant and flamingo shaped trays as those fuckers never come out no matter how hard you try.


You can get 'artisan' frozen ice cubes Louisa - why have bog standard filtered water ice cubes when you can have posh mineral water ice cubes in niche sizes for ?2 quid a pop instead of a pound eh?

I have since been informed my last useable shop along the lane for day to day essentials at reasonable prices also partakes in this novelty fad of selling ice cubes in a bag. I'm not sure if that was tongue in cheek from said poster just to press my buttons unnecessarily, but I will be checking in Londis tomorrow to see if this indeed is the case.

    • Vispring, I'm not a poet so I don't have enough vocabulary to gush about it, best money I ever spent. Open your wallet, they say you spend a third of your life rafting on it (probably more these days with Netflix).
    • Ah wonderful, I'll pop in and see him One more day and then the fundraiser will close. Just £70 needed to get to £1,500. Thank you all for your generosity and support. Private messages have been lovely. 
    • 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.
