General Chat

There is a difference between London and Greater London though. You wouldnt consider Enfield as Central London even though it is North.

Sally, Camberwell is virtually Central London. I have ancestors who lived in nearby Walworth for a short while in the 1870s.

Most men drivers !! Sorry
I drive a big car and I find that every time I go out in it at least one male driver will either try and race me, cut me up or drive so close they are almost in my car !
Rude people
Waiting to pay for shopping when tills are closed and staff seem to be talking and hanging around
Parents who shout & swear at their children

People who judge others when they dont know them or the facts

OH has noticed than when he drives my little Nissan Micra, everyone tries to cut him up......you have to be really on your toes to drive a small car around here sometimes.....

...especially on our funny roundabout.....

We'll have to agree to disagree, Benjamin. I wouldn't say Edgware was Central London but I do think of people from Edgware as being Londoners - same as Camberwell which as I'm sure you know was in Surrey.

.....as was the Old Kent Road Uggers, and Mile End was in Middlesex.....

Enfield is in Middlesex but council tax is paid to "The London Borough of Enfield" so is it London or not?

.....according to the Greater London Council Claire, it is.....



and the way London is growing outwards and we are only 20 miles north of it......come 100 years time and I dare say that Hertfordshire will be a London Suburb too.....lol

Trees taking over my garden ..............

Thanks Sally, I'll tell my daughter that she's correct, she is a Londoner!

Yes, and I got my facts wrong too Claire......sorry to any Harrovians......you are also a London Borough......apologies....

1- People who don't say 'Please or Thank You.'

2- Sales assistants with no Customer Service quailties at all....why employ them, they come across rude n ignorant.

3- Drivers who don't put their hand up when you've let them have right of way even if it wasn't theirs by the rules of the road......n most being MEN!

3- People who stand n gossip in the aisles of the supermarket getting in everyone elses way.

4- Lazy collegues.

5- People who park their cars in 2 spaces.

6- TV chefs who don't tie their hair back.

7- People who say 'No worries or No Problem' for no reason....mind you I sometimes do it...lol


Think I'll leave it there but I'm sure I'll be back with more..lol

And while I'm being pedantic, Sally:))) The sound of Bow Bells doesn't refer to Bow in East London but to the bells of St Mary le Bow in Cheapside - so Cockneys and East enders ain't the same thing:)))

I don't mind you being pedantic at all David, I am always willing to learn from someone who has more knowledge.....

People who use this,,Rasta cross accent when they are clearly English,,,,,,
People who have no patience,
People who moan about the stupid of small minor irritations.
People who pip at traffic lights without knowing if the driver in front has a problem or even has suddenly taken ill,

just a few,,,,,,,,,,

Have any of you ever had obnoxious or rude record office archivists who just dont want to help at all?

I once visited the St Pancras & Islington Cemetery to find a few of my ancestors burials and one lady kept sighing and tutting every time I asked her for another burial book. Its her ******* job to serve the people. Another one snapped at me when I asked her to confirm for me if there was more than one book for each year, one was for the church and one was for the chapel.

Uggers if you call Edgware people Londoners, I shall start calling Liverpool people Brummies then shall I???

unnessary noices like tapping
people that sit down and they shake their leg or knee-

If you like, Benjamin:)

Me and my mate had the same problem at the Pancras & Islington Cemetery. The woman bringing the indices out was fine but her superior was really unhelpful and unpleasant.
