state funded schools in birmingham calling children to islamic prayer over the playground speakers, eschewing music lessons music, segregation... and the bbc doing a 'what are british values 'phone in this morning. cunnys.
evening standard , who seem to be phasing out their female genital mutilation wall to wall coverage , for a 'say no to rape in war' campaign. to be published in depth every night,, along with pictures of skinny london supermodels falling out of night clubson cocaine and articles on womens shoes and hanbags which cost £15,000 each.
and articles on 'suuuper property dahrling' that cost £25 million for a studio flat in barnes .tedious double page spreads on walthamstow village , sandwiches that are made by freegans for £50...and avante garde homosexual dance troops from slovienia .this paper says nothing at all to the average londoner.
musicals , and the cast's of musicals, especially amateur ones in church halls,romford, last saturday night.

Well now. I wandered into the new Spoons in Waterloo today.
Got a pint, sat down contemplating my sad life. etc
Then, surrounded by heavies, asked to leave.
I asked to see the manager.
He says, 'you're drunk'.
I asked' where's the evidence that I'm drunk?' Abusive? |Disorderly?
He says 'you're slurring your words' Out.
I swear on my mother's grave this is true. I'm gobsmacked.
What's going on? |
Even if you weren't that inebriated, what a strange place to find someone slurring their words.
A pub that sells the cheapest alcohol !!
Also, slurring your words is not always because of drink.
People who have experienced a stroke often have trouble with vocal clarity and deaf people can speak in this way and someone who either has a stutter or a speech impediment.
Bouncers R Us perhaps need to up their recruitment game..... |  |

Is it just me or does normal post (ie - envelopes, not packages) just basically not make it to its destination all that often?
I feel like the Royal Mail just sack off most letters/cards now. |  |

My Mum sends stuff via signed for & guaranteed delivery for birthdays, Christmas etc. and pays LOADS for the privilege of a basic service.
Can I just add society's requirement that everything needs to get feedback? Just had to make a call about changing something minor on an insurance policy - a 5 minute call. I had to listen to almost 3 minutes of preamble including why my comments are so important and that I'd get a follow up call to ask what I thought of the service. To change a direct debit? Why do I have to rate - and then explain - whether I thought the person was courteous, professional, and attentive? This was a big firm and the person probably does 6 calls an hour, 50 a day. What are they going to do with all that information? Sod all. [Post edited 3 Sep 9:59]

My missus used to work in retail for a high-end high street jewellers and sending out and following up with these sorts of questions did their head in. They hated doing it because they knew it was pointless and just got ignored.
They knew the customers weren't interested but they were virtually forced to get answers out of them. Yeah, great way to pi$$ off your customer base.

News piece about two new towns proposed to be built in London, citing Enfield golf club and talking to members about losing their course to the development.
My sympathies were initially with them after hearing some considerable moaning about the injustice of it all but the cameras then cut to two members on the green lining up to play their putts at the same time and as if that wasn’t bad enough, one of these bellends then walked straight across the other fellas line as he was putting.
They don’t deserve a golf course, hope they build all over it. |  | | |

You can be in a pub buying a soft drink, in a forecourt garage shop paying for your petrol and a pint of milk, or in Poundland buying cheap deodorant and bog rolls and the chip and pin machine is offering you the opportunity to give a 25 pence tip, supposedly going to charity...
Has anyone ever pressed yes and offered 25 pence more for an already pricey milk carton !!
Progress !! | |

Tesco are great for this at their self check outs - would I like to give to charity? Er sure but maybe you could give on my behalf with all the gazillions that you have??
Sad to say as I get older I'm more cynical about what charities actually do with our money (not saying that there are some that do good work). Look at all the charity ads they run during daytime TV. Just feels like another method employed to deprive people of their hard-earned wages/pensions... |  |

Yeah fk all that. You donate via Tesco, they give it to the charity, they claim back the tax. You're basically saving them tax.
Pick a charity you like and donate however you want to. Anything outside of that is a no. | |

I remember seeing a documentary (Ch 4 I think) years ago about a (reasonably high profile IIRC) charity that was basically a legitimate scam.
Very plush offices in Victoria, CEO and all the Exec''s on very high salaries + bonuses etc, lavish 'fund raising' events and so on.
Once all this had been accounted for, something like a couple of pence in the pound actually went to the cause they were 'supporting'. It was basically all done to fund their own lifestyle and the public were paying for it. | | | |

This used to be just a London thing which was bad enough but increasingly seeing/hearing cyclists blaring out either crap rap or political stuff or conspiracy nonsense from massive speakers round here as they plod along.
Also the religious oddballs of various persuasions parked on the corner of the road opposite Shep Bush station on match days. Assume they’re there all the time. | | | |

Surely all of the nutters are in the stadium when the match is on though ?!? |  |
