The last thing we need is an expansion of religious centres in the area, seeing as its all made up rubbish anyway - this is the 21st century, no the dark ages

I agree with you snorky. Wow, did I just say that?

The British don't worship God anymore.

Actually, no I'm sorry, they do worship something: it happens to be money & commerce, and maybe the phenomenon called celebrity...

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*

[Huguenot]

That sounds glorious! Can I be high priest?

I hereby renounce the idea of a secular state and propose the elevation of a blobwivwadocracy.

How cursed we were before this moment of revelation, this epiphany, this... etc. etc.

[dulwichmum]

Hurrah! I shall worship there too, although Burberry is so last year!

[James]

I would worship at the altar of a new M&S.

How about a mixed use development of a Mosque with a gay bar, a vegetarian deli and a carvery in each of its miniarets? Thus encouraging communities to mix with each other?

PS. I agree with Snorky too. Has the world gone mad?

[mockney piers]

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?

[dulwichmum]

Gosh, Mr Mockney Piers, whatever have you been smoking?

"the bathroom was the size of a newborn tortoise"

That is the most wonderful description - I can feel a blog coming on......

[batdog]

Mr Huguenot or shall we call you His Santity Prof Huguenot, Doctor of Divinity and so on....???

Do not worry about your soul, D-Mum is taking care of us all and so to Heaven. Isn't she the Sweetest One ? The Promised Saviour of all us, multiple sinners ?

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"...

[Keef]

To be fair, I've only tried the carrot cake, and my own better half can throw something better together in half hour. I'm lucky ;-)

You bring your missus' cake and I'll provide my 'pianna' for that sing-song you long for - we can all be winners.
