Think the general tone has morphed into ranting. By it's title it presumably has served its purpose? By continuing to exist it's just serving the tinies in the main to keep up the ranting. So, we've all voted (or maybe not). Think if any if the rantees on here started a thread that indicated what they really wanted to spout then it would get shut down very quickly. There is little of the discussion you crave.

Thankfully most of those on here are not in the tinies.

Still you too will have a sore head when "teach" bangs it together with the other kids on here


Best way to kill a thread is by not posting on it and others will soon do the same

Whether you?re a Momentum supporter or not, your style of ?discussion? comes straight out of their playbook. Anyway, as you think that having the last word means you?ve won the argument, I shall give you this opportunity as I will not be posting again on this thread. As has been pointed out already, the only way this thread will close is if people, including yourself, stop posting on it - it takes more than making petulant demands to Admin.

You're right. It's only 'other people' who rant on here.....


Perhaps you take your own advice and start a thread to speak about whatever the heck you want, and stop interjecting in this one.....

Let?s add a little misogyny and objectification to the thread. I mean really, it?s what it?s been missing.

Here?s a recipe for Plum Puffs


Ingredients


1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup water

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 large eggs

1/2 cup plum preserves

Confectioners? sugar, for dusting

Instructions


Preheat oven to 425? F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and brush paper lightly with water.

Combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Place water and butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and add the flour mixture. Mix well and continuously until a soft choux dough forms and pulls away from the side of the pan.

Remove the pan from the heat. Add one egg and beat until the mixture is smooth (see note). Add the second egg and beat again until smooth.

Drop teaspoons of the choux dough onto the baking sheet at 2 inches apart. (The puffs will double in size while baking.) Use a wet finger to smooth any peaks.

Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Do not open the oven during baking.

Remove the puffs from the oven and turn the heat off. Close the oven door. With a toothpick, poke a hole in each puff to release the steam.

Return the puffs to the warm oven for 5 minutes.

Remove the puffs from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Use a serrated knife to carefully split each puff in half. Fill the bottom portion with a spoonful of plum preserves and replace the cap.

Arrange puffs on a platter and sprinkle confectioners? sugar over the top. Best served immediately to hungry bosom friends. Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer.

Notes


Use a wooden spoon or spatula to beat in the eggs, or transfer the mixture to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.

I don?t know most people on this thread


I wish we could just go back to blaming ?cliques?


Simpler times


My tuppence: The thread is the thread. Points were raised. They remain of interest to enough people. Calling for the thread to be closed down is misguided. Threads die when people lose interest and move on. As it should be

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      By Sue · Posted

      Thank you for clarifying, James. So why would anybody want to take this on as a franchise if it is staying in this building? If it is now to be a sub office, does that mean that much of  the space could be used as a different kind of business altogether, with just part of it being used as a sub Post Office? Because if it is all to remain solely for Post Office business, (albeit as a sub Post Office it won't be providing all the services which it currently does) I can't see who would want to take it over? If it isn't profitable as a Crown office, how could it be  profitable running just as a sub office, even if staff are being paid less and it's opening for longer hours? Because presumably all the other overheads such as rent will remain the same?

      Girobank was genuinely innovative, regarding the addressed customer base (significantly the previously unbanked) - but this would have been an ideally outsourced operation to an existing bank which already had the operational systems (and the regulatory experts) to manage a bank for someone else at marginal cost. The Post Office - when you consider the issues over the Horizon software - never originally designed by ICL/ Fujitsu for the application it ran - is a very good reason why the Post Office being involved in banking was long-term a bad idea.  To get back to the topic of this thread, the Horizon debacle is still not over (the software system is still in place) - most of the wrongly penalised sub-postmasters are still out of pocket - I'm not sure I would be leaping to take on the franchise being offered in Lordship Lane.

      Otherwise in Bellenden Road are brilliant! They’ve made me stage dresses, restructured vintage finds and are working on remodelling my late brothers huntsman tweed suit for my modern husband! Not cheap and rents have meant they are moving premises at mo.

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      Penguin, I broadly agree, except that the Girobank was a genuinely innovative and successful operation. It’s rather ironic that after all these years we are now back to banking at the Post Office due to all the bank branch closures.  I agree that the roots of the problem go back further than 2012 (?), when the PO and RM were separated so RM could be sold. I’m willing to blame Peter Mandelson, Margaret Thatcher or even Keith Joseph. But none of them will be standing for the local council, hoping to make capital out of the possible closure of Lordship Lane PO, as if they are in no way responsible. The Lib Dems can’t be let off the hook that easily.
