You should realise that it is a breach of someone's human rights to ask them to interrupt a mobile phone call in order that you can have a conversation with them. The person deprived of their phone call can claim damages under the Human Rights Act.


What's all this nonsense about the LL PO being busy being used by all the middle classes? Whenever I go there, there are plenty of people who don't appear to fit into the "middle class" category.

Good girl giggirl erm, anyway - absolutely spot on - be prepared, bring sellotape and a pen. been using it since way back when, and always exchage pleasentries. They are human beings behind the counter as well... and as for the phone thing - the height of rudeness.

If the middle classes are keeping the postal service going (and clogging up LL post office as a side effect) then hats off to them. I gave up on the Royal Mail years ago. All the chocs I send to New Zealand relatives originate from New Zealand chocolate shops. That's the beauty of the internet.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I think to be fair you have to say that Trump misquoted too.  A simple mistake, we all make them.  I am always misquoting the Saudi Crown Prince, and our intelligent services. A bit like the Father Ted sketch of the sarcastic priest in Father Jack's dirty laundry trunk https://fatherted.fandom.com/wiki/Father_Jessup Except Father Ted is fiction, and was a hilarious programme.

      Danny Denton and his team have just replaced our rear roof in East Dulwich, they were a pleasure to work with. Danny was communicative throughout the process, knowledgeable, hardworking and competitively priced. I would recommend him without hesitation.  Thanks Danny! LMB

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      I think we have lost all perspective - The BBC clearly misquoted Trump (which is obviously wrong), in a programme that broadly gave an accurate account of what happened on January 6th - that he inspired the attack on the Capitol. His speech did repeatedly call on people to fight. He repeatedly claimed that the election had been stolen. He has since pardoned many of those involved in that violence. The 'journalist' at the Telegraph who 'broke' this 'story', more than a year after the Panorama documentary aired, also misquoted Trump's speech and gave a false impression of what was actually said. In both the case of the BBC and the Telegraph, the editing was misleading and sloppy. In my opinion however, the editing of the speech by the Telegraph is actually more misleading than the BBC's. The jist of the speech was not one calling for calm, but one calling for supporters to fight: "...fight like hell and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore". Trump used the term "fight" twenty times, and the term "peacefully" just once. During Trump's speech, his supporters chanted "Take the Capitol", "Invade the Capitol", "Storm the Capitol" and "Fight for Trump". The Telegraph have not acknowledged their misleading editing / misquote of course. Trump has escaped punishment for his role in a violent insurrection. Many of the rioters who stormed the Capital have been let off / pardoned. The only people to have taken responsibility for anything, or to have faced any consequences for their behaviour, are the BBC. The BBC have apologised and both the BBC Director General and the News CEO have lost their jobs. They (we) also face a 1 billion dollar law suit from a corrupt, criminal, President (an unprecedented act from the supposed 'defender of free speech / the free world'). The idea that the BBC's errors are being 'swept under the carpet' is self evidently nonsense. It is very clear that the Telegraph would love to end the BBC, as would the Times etc. They are not motivated by the national interest, or a quest for truth (neither is Trump - a firehose of BS). For Trump to be suing any media organisation as the sitting president of the United states, (let along a publicly owned UK broadcaster - effectively, the British taxpayer) is outrageous. That the whole country isn't telling him exactly where to go, shows a distinct lack of patriotism in my opinion.

      GALA 2026

      Trying to get to the bottom of the confusion. The events team email, the council website and the letter we all got through the door, says the consultations are this evening. I went along yesterday because it looks as though word of mouth had sent some people there on the wrong day (myself included). So not an error by the council on the date, but definitely a problem in letting people register their interest in attending. Hopefully that clears things up.
