Re: My trip to London

I know what you are saying and I've been as guilty as the next man of spending too long at work and then complaining that I never do anything. But not all of those people in Oxford Street or Covent...

Re: My trip to London

Most people? I wouldn't describe myself as fabulously wealthy by any stretch but I lived a very satisfying life in London as I now do in Sydney. I am sorry that you didn't/don't find London...

Re: My trip to London

I lived in London for 20 years and so guess must have been one of those rude people that slammed doors in people's faces. Anyway I was reminiscing the other day as you do - a blast of reverie...

Re: Advice please on shipping: everything vs just treasured possesions

We left everything that wouldn't fit in a packing case. Sadly that meant my Scalextric Formula One set was left behind. We sold what we could and the rest was cleared. Would have brought more M&S...

Re: UK STATE PENSION - URGENT SIGNATURES

Surely if you cared so much for the UK taxpayer then you would not support the campaign since if successful, it means even more of their money is lost to the UK economy forever? If the people who...

Re: Legal situation - other peoples property on your premises

The good news is you did not commit a criminal offence in taking stuff that didn't belong to you. But the bad news is you still need to tread very carefully from here on in. Any correspondence must...

Re: Racism in Sydney and the East Coast??
