I indeed witnessed this yesterday evening in Camberwell. What was more disturbing was the state of the gentleman's toe nails *shudders*

I probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise!

Worse - parents who sit their happily whilst their little darling plays a game with the sound on. Teach them good manners FFS.

Passing a Money Shop in Forest Hill on the bus, I was astounded to see a large sign in the window offering short-term loans at 2961% APR.


I thought I must have misread it, but I've just looked up their website, which says:


Representative example: ?200 Loan. Total amount repayable in a single payment of ?259.98 in 28 days. Annual interest rate 390.94% (variable). 2961.4% APR representative.


And underneath that, it says


"Warning: Late repayment can cause you serious money problems."


They're not f-ing joking, are they?


No wonder people who are already poor enough to need this kind of "service" spiral further and further into debt :( :( :(


Bastards.


Sorry, this probably isn't a tiny little thing, but it has certainly caused me enormous rage, irrational or not I have no idea.

The last tic tac in the box that resolutely refuses to come free from the bottom. Gentle tap with forefinger, nothing. Harder tap with forefinger and index finger, not even a minor movement. Bang box of table, nope still laughing at me. ARRRRRRGH, smashes box with hammer.

it was originally shorthand for expressing yourself online the humble bit meaning to convey that it was just your opinion not necessarily the correct answer. Please don't anyone come on here and say differently. I AM RIGHT ABOUT THIS.

    • As far as I am aware you have shown no interest in the Gala thread but anything you find to knock a local authority, and no doubt hope that it applies to Southwark LTNs, then off you go. I'd love to hear what you enjoy.  I've been to multiple festivals big and small, in life.  The line up at the Lambeth Show looks good.  Steamdown anyone? It's a balance between many factors, amenity Vs loss of amenity, disruption including noise during the event, damage to the park, income to the local authority during difficult times.  What is your view on these matters, or is it just a case that you smell meat? I cycled in the Massif Central when there was a big creative festival and that smelled of BBQ meat.  Similarly a Portuguese festival at Kensington Park. There are some people round my way who used to complain about the music at the Horniman on a summer Sunday afternoon.  This is not comparable to the disruption due to the Gala, I hasten to add.  But I was stunned at the time thinking how could they have issues with some soul/jazz/afro beat/samba/Latino etc  Shane they don't have the same number of free events any more.  I digress....
    • But I think there are striking similarities between the way Lambeth has managed the Brockwell events and residents therein and the way Southwark has with Gala..... It's how it pastes when you take text from another website (BBC) and is a good way to show that these are someone else's words and not something written by the author! 
    • Do none of you people want anyone to experience joy anywhere near your houses? I've been a local resident for nearly 10 years, and I love that London feels vibrant and alive in the summer and there are festivals and young people enjoying themselves.    Think everyone here needs to take a chill pill 
    • Thread is on the Gala.  Some of you can't help but join in on everywhere else because it suits you.  Sad that some of you get such joy.  And one of you is using large font, it's akin to shouting.
