So....up front....what Clarkson said about megham is horrendous....no question.


I do want to ask though...have similar things been said about right-wing white men in power and we just brush it off?....if they haven't, then okay, but my gut feel is that awful shit gets said about right wingers and we say that's acceptable...


But Meg is black and female....so having a go at her is racist and mysoginistic....not just a case of clarkson being an asshole....

He loves publicity whether good and bad and has a high profile and therefore will get a response. I'm not interested in the whole royal circus and therefore haven't taken notice although I did see from shopping that the Clarkson backlash was front page in the Star (I was shopping and just looked, honnest). If it is hate crime then the authorities should get involved.


Personally a recent former PM said provocative things that were borderline racist and never got taken to task for this. Don't start me on Trump. Sadly we live in this new world where many across the world thrive on this sort of thing. Can't turn the clock back but feel the world is much more divided than say ten years ago.

      I am sure what the new plan is but who knows how the postal service will work from here onwards

      postal collections

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.

      postal collections

      Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.

      Missing cat

      By Roddy · Posted

      My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached.
