Beetroot tomorrow then.


I'm familiar with the arguments for and against - I've done a few residential juice fasts where they teach a lot of that - but it does get way more nutrients into your system than you could manage by eating the foods whole, so a quick way to catch up if you've been eating unhealthily, and you can reduce the sugar spike by having all or mainly veg. If you have digestive problems it can also be a useful way to give all that a rest. There's been a big increase in IBS since fibre became fashionable in the late 70s, though it's just one factor among many, behaviour being the biggest (it turns out there's more than one point to table manners).


My father always said that a good marriage is based on a similar level of intelligence and a willingness to discuss someone else's bowel movements. Mind you, he has been married three times so there may be more to it than that.

I do wonder how healthy these kind of products actually are. When you make a fresh juice or smoothie it starts to separate and discolour very quickly (depends a bit on the machine you use), so to keep them looking fresh they have to be emulsified and heat-treated in some way, which kills off some of the nutrients and enzymes apparently. There may also be small additives that they don't have to declare, or so I'm told. God know what Innocent do to make a smoothie last for over a month.

PS, anyone who posts up some contrived anecdote about a friend of a friend at some non specific northern university who got scurvy because all they ate was pre cooked porridge for a term / variations thereof - you will go straight to the top of the Peckham rye head shot festival guest list.

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By shazza76 · Posted

      Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!

      Be careful on the pavements...

      Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
