Hello to everyone, I’m here t to make new friends and discuss topical political news.
After a career working for the British government i am a tired civil servant. Living in London I think I have a finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the U.K.

As long as you’re not here to lecture Americans about our faults you are welcome

Lol. Actually I think he is a fine ole chap.

He was born a LONG time ago. Before there were Blacks.

Before, To Sir With Love??

I remember my father putting it on TV, of course he was horrified and quickly turned the knob of the hired TV changing of to the good old BBC2
From that brief view of “To sir with love” I believe it was in good old BLACK and white

The UK has a 'proud' history of beating up the 'coloureds'

Yes we have to keep them in order. To bring civilisation to the world we Brits have had to get tough with the darkies.

One of the "revolt" dates from 2011.

It must be said. David Cameron hounded every rioter they could identify from police photographs, shop and street videos.
The courts were kept busy for over a year convicting these people. From students to young barristers all were convicted. The criminal records they now have stops most from getting high paid jobs still.

I miss going to Woolies

Ahhh Woolies, I bought my first washing machine from them in 1979, a Zanussi, the bugger cost £349 the wife’s mother got me interest free payments as long as I paid it off in 3 months cos she worked there.

London has a few cameras.

Do you watch the Eastenders?

Leave it out governor!

No, not really not since Tiff married that half caste lad.
My wife went to a local convention 2 weeks ago, she had a selfie with Dot cottons lad “Nick Cotton”
In a proper Cockney accent he said to her “Give my regards to yer ole man”

Such a deal. I bought some durable soft sided bags from Woolies years ago for practically nothing. Been through a lot of travel.
Oh, and the selection of sweets...

Our woolies had a fresh fish counter, many a time the wife was given some fish fingers.

Yep!
F W Woolworth, I can remember the original Woolworths in the city back in 1961-62 the counter was a long wooden thing with 5-10 people behind it serving people and putting the money given into one till.
My earliest memories as a boy were with my mother helping her shop on a Saturday morning, for my reward she’d take me to an Italian cafe, whereupon I’d ask for a mug of Bovril.

Not that one again.

Look to your own. The swamp folk of Louisiana. Some have no teeth atall.

At the age of 22 my wisdom teeth started to push my bottom front teeth askew, it was murder, at that age I was heavily into eating steaks, socialising, eating out a lot more.
My dentist made me wait until he could take them out, by that time my teeth were terrible.
After the extractions I went to an orthodontist where I wore braces. My teeth are perfectly aligned and I have the smile of Tom Cruise.

Here is a video of the local Woolworth's Museum. It's not that good. The videographer must have been on a timeline:

Some are just plain ignorant. Plenty of oranges from Spain.
