Another reason the drunks sit by the local traders' shops and not Savacentre is that it is the local traders who are supplying them with booze, Somerfield included, and not Savacentre I'm heartily fed up of nit-picking over points of law and uber-liberals telling me it's fine to sit in public like t...

My sister graduated as a special earlier this year after training every Sunday and the odd extra day for some months. She is fully trained and will even be allowed to do firearms training after serving enough time. She has to do eight hours a month and she loves it. She volunteered to do Tower Hamle...

Why the eye rolling, bensonby? Why shouldn't we report suspicious behaviour on a public forum - as long as, of course, no laws on privacy or slander are broken? If Howard Staunton phones Crimestoppers they won't want to know as he has no hard evidence. The local police may take a note. But they are ...

It happens in a lot of places if you look hard enough, across the country. Are you bothered by it? Not everyone is if it's discreet enough and I'm sure some of your other neighbours are glad of the local service... If you are, and it certainly doesn't make an area look good, take a note of number pl...

Poo it forward
Anyone seen the Haley Joel Osment film about doing some kindness for a stranger, and then they do one for someone else and so on? No, me neither. But it gave me an idea while taking my dog for a walk the other day. I was scooping its poop with a bag when I realised he'd gone right next to a pile tha...

While you're at it, how about some guerilla branding? Lewisham insist that every town in the borough has that disgusting blue and that childish gingerbread men crown plastered on everything. In 2005 they set the branding ( see pdf here ). I have to admit, the street signs they are phasing in don't l...

I was stunned when I saw it yesterday and my three-year-old stood staring at it completely puzzled. He's played on it so many times since he was born. I can't understand how it burnt so completely, it's like one of those cases of spontaneous human combustion where just a foot is left. I can only thi...

Paedos in Speedos
Another example of hysteria in modern life Just got back from swimming at the Bridge Pool with my three-year-old son. A woman turned up with a TWO-YEAR-OLD girl wearing a swimming nappy. The lifeguard called her over to the side and warned her that, although he'd let her swim this time, the TWO-YEAR...

In that poster, I think the modern pool building looks good, the flats look like an invading Martian. If you must flog land to pay for it why does no one ever propose decent-sized family homes in these developments. Build three/four bed homes with private gardens for children to play in. No one want...

Lidl are cheap because they treat their staff so badly, even worse than 'no sick pay' Asda and Tesco.

So where shall we stick our green dragon?
At the risk of getting lots of unpleasant and anatomically unlikely answers to that question, I thought we could move the debate on a bit Lee has already listed quite a few things he would like to be branded with a new Sydenham logo, but are there any others? Rubbish bins Street name signs Welcome t...
