Yes, I saw the news this morning but by this time the list had been taken down. I hope those members serving in the police are feeling rather uncomfortable today...

Hi, today is TreeDay. Can you ring me asap and let me know if you can come on Friday to collect the wood. We have no use for it and nowhere to store it.

Thanks

Thanks for posting this, admin. I had been trying to find out what 181-189 KIRKDALE was going to become (flats in this instance). For some reason I think I had picked up that a new bar was being planned for along Kirkdale?

Actually, as I understand it, the Costcutter refit has nothing to do with the impending Tesco.

I've been using this shop almost everyday for the past couple of years, so I'm on pretty good terms with the staff there; I asked them about the works and whether it was pronpted by the arrival of a competitor, and it turns out the whole thing had been planned since well before there was even a whisper of Tesco pitching up on their doorstep.

I didn't quite get the whole story (I was hampered by both being slightly deaf and wearing a crash helmet at the time!) but the general jist was that the refit had been scheduled for more than a year, but there was a hold-up to do with air extractors and the flats above.

So sorry nasaroc, you might well be generally right about competition causing improvement, but not in this particular case.

So sorry to read that you're feeling down, Pinkfairydust. I know what it is like to feel that you cannot face the world somedays.

I'm sure you know that although things seem bleak at the moment, you will pull through it.

Perhaps tomorrow, to just get out of the house for a while, go for a brisk walk or jog through Crystal Palace Park (once out and about I always feel so much better, with a clearer head and more determined to get on with things). Hopefully, you'll then feel able to refocus your energies to blitz the recruitment agencies and job ads again.

All the best,

Gaz

Pinkfairydust - So sorry to hear that you've lost your job and things are looking down at the moment. I'm sure that things will start looking up for you soon. Life is full of highs and lows and at this current time, lots of us are also feeling the pinch. Hope you have the courage and will to carry on looking out there for a job and I'm sure something will come up. I understand it must be really difficult for you to think positively right now, but do try to keep your spirits up. Do take care.

Anybody following the news may have heard yet another organisation has lost their database ... except this time it is the entire BNP Membership List - with comments on some members interests and careers. See http://lancasteruaf.blogspot.com/.

Well I did a search on SE26 and it came up with just 3 members. Whereas SE23 & SE20 turned up 6 each. SE9 (Eltham) by comparison as a centre for BNP activism has 18 recorded members.

A disproportionate number are in small Welsh villages (?) and a disturbing number are 17 or under. I'm not publishing names or links because it would open them up to reprisals by people very angry with what they have said and done. Two wrongs don't make a right. I would ask customers to respect that too.

Still reports suggest that the BNP 12,000 membership is inflated. If that's so maybe we don't have 3 after all ...
