I claim immunity due to 'Sydenham-Syndrome'* caught when falling asleep once on the 176.

I like this one. Its like sometimes they don't even notice you are there, sitting patiently waiting for them all to go on their merry way.

I think slagging off anywhere people live constitutes "bad manners"


even if they do it themselves

even if it's true

even if it's tongue in cheek


But they live there for a reason - and ultimately other people slagging the place off is only going to make them feel that much worse


I'm not saying "it shouldn't be done" - but it is good manners?


Pretty sure I've done it quite a few times but it always makes me uncomfortable when I read it

I took my son to a concert at the Festival Hall. It was Igor Oistrakh's 70th birthday and my son was about 15 and it was his first visit. As we went through a door a middle-aged man dressed in dinner suit and bow tie and his wife also dressed up let the door go right in our faces- reality check!

This is not just an ED thing, it's a London thing. ED is way friendlier than most other parts of London. I imagine somebod will jump straight on this but I couldn't believe how different London was from the Midlands when I first moved down here. London is a great place to live but people are just rude!

There are too many people in London- you never get a seat on the tube or the bus, people are always pushing in queues and are increasingly behaving in an aggressive manner. And caz6868 it is very contagious.

What sort of chips SJ?- they still serve the same stuff- wine etc

I disagree ED is friendlier than other places. I have not come across anywhere in London with more ignorant people than here. Whether its JAGS gym, Lordship Lane, Sainsbury, pubs...the same things happen. Pushing past with no excuse me, you hold a door open and people just walk through and worst of all - a buggy does not mean you own all shop space and the path as and when you feel like it.

I see , offer and get polite behaviour almost all of the time from most people (with kids or without) in SE22...people really think it's a bed of bad manners?? Really? or do they magnify the occasional bad experience out of all proportion...maybe the any people OTT should look at themselves a bit would be my suggestion. Thank you.

I don't usually weigh in on fiesty debates like this but I have to agree with Harry. I too have experienced this and actually ????, it is not 'the occasional bad experience'. It happens virtually every time I venture towards LL or Sainsburys. I realise people have busy lives and are often distracted but come on, how hard is it to say thanks / let someone go before you / keep your kids from racing around the supermarket or pubs. Please let's drop the 'me me me' attitude and take a second to remember our manners! For the sake of our community! :)

      Don't Own a Dog if you Can't Pickup their Crap

      By SalmonKing · Posted

      Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on?

      Spay/Neuter Your Cats!

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.

      Spay/Neuter Your Cats!

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
