Oh bless you zeban...I wasn't having a go at you at all...


No no no no no no...


I was being facetious with the Queen...in respect of her Majesty's comment: "I absolutely agree with every word..."


Nothing to do with anything YOU said...LOL!


I agree with much of what you have said, bye the way.


Apologies for any confusion.

And Ladymuck will be thrown out of court soon enough...where she'll have to work in a pig sty to feed herself rather than the life she enjoys swanning around the castle gossiping with the other laides in waiting.....;-)
This is all rather reminiscent of a policy from the dying days of the Major government. Imaginatively entitled "Project Work", an experiment was conducted in the Medway Towns and Hull, into getting the long term unemployed (more than 2 years) back into work. Intensive one to one help was given for 13 weeks, followed by a period of compulsory work experience. It was considered to have been a success by the government and was due to be rolled out across the country, then they lost the election.
I think most people forced into this position, would rather go and do cash in hand jobs, pay no taxes and generally slide out of the system and live like old wartime spivs. A few years ago the eastern block people were being picked up as cheap labour on London streets, most even helped to build the Dome. There are even children used as slave labour in the fields.Tax lost is not a good idea. But neither is reducing people to doing menial jobs. Even the prisoners in our jails aare not treated like that. They used to make things for society, now they play games.? How can you take food and comfort away from children.,if their parents refuse to work for peanuts.?

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
