That's nothing new though, you only have to look at the history of pretty much any religious group to see that it didn't take long before it was all about money...

Boys, boys, boys, you are so superficial, the lot of you. I love the local churches, and frequent the lot of them. I would hate Father O'Connor to find out I was hanging out with the protestants, so I go to him at St. Thomas Moore, and I love and respect the vicar Diana at St Barnabus - so I am to be found there too.


I worship enough for the lot of you - so worry not, I have covered all the bases, and will get us all into heaven!

Oh my god I've just had a horrible vision of some Deity that's a cross between Mammon, Bacchus, Jade and Chantelle.

Perhaps they can set up the church in a newly converted Magdala where they'll worship by throwing money and alcopos through huge hooped earrings on to an altar made of lard encased in Burberry.


Yeeeesh *shudders*

After the miranets come the miniarets. Is that a foxton's mini that can't be moved because it's had it's tires nicked and been put on bricks while the estate agent was busy selling a ?750,000 broom cupboard as being 'perfect for a professional couple' because the bathroom was the size of a newborn tortoise perchance?


I'll go get some air shall I?

Whilst not disagreeing with you that a lot of the stuff sold at the Northcross Road market is "tat" (most markets though specialize in "tat" outlets - it is part of theri charm), I must rush to defend the quality of the cake(s) sold there. The cheesecake in particular is better than anything sold in local shops, chains or otherwise, and the chocolate cake is to die for.


And the relatively recent arrival of the English Cheese van (Fridays only) is a boon for those of us who suffer vertigo trying to mount the step outside "The Cheeseblock"...

    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
