I rememner when i was a nipper down the east End, fish and chips was 2 and six.
You can get a pint of cooking and a carvery eat as much as you like at the Feathers in Hampton for a fiver, miles better than Mildred`s muck.
Most of them pubs called Whetherspoon outside of central London, do fish, chips peas and a pint for a fiver. Avoid rubbish like Strabucks, they are rioff, 3 Quid for a bit of cake, strewth that is stupid innit!
You can get an all day 6 Zone travelcard that takes you around the whole if inner and outer London foy 7 Quid. Some football geounds let penshioners in for cheap an all. Brentford is cheap, but the team is crap.

TheNewZen- I don`t understand what you mean, i am getting on a bit, is it a youngster thing?
I don
t know why they would parade cows. Strewth seems weird to me. Blimey if you want a cow parade, go down The Dog and Bull an a Saturday night, its full of old cows, all drunk and falling about, outragous.Posted in: Cow Parade Tokyo Marunouchi 2008

adaydream, maybe she gave the money to her relation Micheal `Palin to make one of his funny flicks.
I don`t know if anyone is dishonest. Ireckon they are all as bad as each other probably.

Ireckon he must be a confirmed batchelor like Cliff Richard.
Why do old birds like him, do they throw their knickers at him, like they used to do to Tom Jones?
We never seem to see Japanese singers on Englih telly, i wonder why it aint popular.

Them Russian and Americans are as bad as each other, causing trouble around the world. Strewth, look after your own people and leave everyone else alone.
I think Dick Cheney is an idiot, he likes war.

Strewth, if i went on the bus and there was only one seat left, and i took it and made Mildred stand up, there would be hell to pay.
Inj the old days if you didn`t get up your seat for an old person or a woman, you would get a clip round the ear from an adult.
These days people don`t care about old fashioned manners, even Jerry give up his seat after downing a bottle of Scotch.

Mildred reads his books and say they are really good. I tried to read one, but it had too many long words.
Give me a Batman or Superman comic anyday. Easy to understand, good stories, and colour pictures, musc better than John Grisham.

I agree withcow76. I saw on Newsnight, that over 65% of homeless in Britain was mentally ill, probably the same in all countries, why else would they be like that?
I help at the jumble sale every year at St Mary`s that helps homeless people in the daytime, with a shelter.
I think we should all try to help the homeless, i
m lucky ive got a house and MIldred to look after me.Posted in: There are 'rich' homeless and 'poor' homeless

They built oneof them Starbucks near where i live,and Mmy wife Mildred pestered me to take her there.
I bought 2 coffees and a piece of chocolate cake, it cost nine Pounds, strewth, i could have dinner and pints of ooking, down the Feathers for that price.
That place is a rip off. Stuff their menu, greedy they are, and their stuff isn`t so great anyway.

I was watching BBC news over the weekend, and their experts think that the black fella, Obama is the best choice for America.
They said McCain will probably start a war with Iran, and foreigners will hate America.
They also said Mr McCain has problems with his memory, so he maybe cannot be trusted, blimey i wouldn
t want somein charge who cant remember everything.Posted in: Obama tells crowd of 84,000 that he'll fix Washington

Strewth, i remember that hurrican Katrina, i was watching the news with Mildred, we couldn`t believe it.
Them Americans who is so rich and so good at everything, couldn`t even help their own country properly.
Loads of people died because that George Bush fella,and his mates were to thick to help the people.
A man on telly said they didn
t help much because most of the people was black, thats disgusting, the president shouldnt do thing like that. Bleeding useless, where does all that money go then, in Mr Bushs pockets?Posted in: Nearly 1.9 million flee coastal Louisiana

Richrad the First; I would gladly wish transsexuality on Mr Fourmille next door. They never had these sex change things in my day, a man was a man and that was it.
This Ayana was probably brought up with dolls and stuff, instead of playing with action man and train sets. This film should have one of the actors introducing it.

cwhite; What do you propse to do with thugs who terrorise the neighbourhood, with parents who don`t care and police who do not punish.
If you suffered like we have to corporal punishment may seem like a good choice. Don`t ignore others suffering, why should the thugs not have corporal punishment for making our lives a misery?
Strewth, we are victims, living in fear, nothing else works, so why not try good old fashioned whackings?
Me and Jerry had the cane loads of times, but we never bullied old people.

Strewth, Do all Americans argue all the time?
I thought American didn
t care much about politics, thats why they keep having nutcase presidents.So what if Mr McCain picked someone hardly known. How many knew Obama until recently, not many, and i`d put a wager on that.
I hope whoever wins, won`t drag Britain into another war, all that money spent on fighting could be used to increase my pension.

I think they should have good old fashioned corporal punishment. They need to respect authourity.

serendipity; I would not want to discipline a child because they are not my responsibility. Something has to be done though. Since corporal punishment stopped, kids has turned into yobs, who don`t repect no one.
The only way i grew up and saw working was for schools to use corporal punishment, and the parents to support the schools punishment.
Something has to be done, when feral gangs of kids stop people like me from walking down the pub at night.

Patrick Smash, Serendipity; When i was a lad this kind of behavior would land the kid in a reform school. Usually about 200 miles from home, in the middle of the countryside, miles from the nearest town.
They Police do nothing now, just tell them to go home, when the police go, they come back. The government has to do something instead of going on about bleeding human rights and stuff. What about my rights to go out for a pint and a game of darts, without being assaulted?
Maybe we should put the parents in stocks, like the really old days, that would learn them wouldn`t it?

Patrick Smash; I wish they would stop the parents benefits, most of them are on dole and sickness, and they go out window cleaning and cash in hand labouring. I heard one of the thugs father down the pub bragging he made 15 grand a year for 3 days a week window cleaning and 20 Grand from benefits.
I think they should take the kids away, and give them strict environment, if they behave send him to nice countryside place, where they can learn real life things, if they stay bad, keep them in strict place.
Also like you said, cut their parents benefits to the bare bones, make them go to Job centre everyday. That

Patrick Smash- Heh, i
m only 5 foot 6 mate. The police are often called out, and sometimes they dont come and other times they tell them off, maybe throw their beer down the drain. That`s it. My mate told one of the yobbos father, and the father threatened to break his nose.What can you do, you feel helpless. If the parent wont discipline them, the police don`t care, then i think the scholl should cane the blooming ruffians.
I can only say, it worked when i was akid, and older people could walk the streets safely, strewth, we even used to get oldies shopping and post letters and stuff.
