What's London got that Dover hasn't?
- 1 April 2017 18:21326064Not much more than year since our town was seen as the venue of choice for the discerning thug, now they reject us in favour of the nation 's capital.
I blame the police and Crown Prosecution Service for hounding them.

6 August 2017 16:38332266Sarf London's quite nice. I've lived in New Cross and Hither Green, but this was Catford yesterday:
Mountsfield Park:
Under the lime tree arbour
A couple of old willows
Poplars
For any musos at a loose end early next month
The in-laws' garden:
A conference (or two)
The quince tree sun

I must admit that the title of the thread had me scratching my head initially and then I saw the list above of bands playing at Blackheath.
I thought half of the problem with London life was 'Fun Lovin' Criminals'? I'm surprised Acid Throwing and the Scooter-jacking weren't listed. How about Knife Crime and the Phone Theft? Gunshot and the Postcode Gang?
Anyone want to take bets on the amount of 'street crime' this year at the annual stab-fest celebration of West Indian culture which is known as the Notting Hill Carnival?
(You realise that the little buggers are often trying to 'maim' rather than kill? http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-stab-victim-medics-extreme-violence-call-to-stop-knife-crime-brutality-9939397.html In the 12 months to March, there were 2,028 victims of knife crime with .... such as serious infection, a colostomy bag and long-term disability. https://www.theguardian.com/membership/2017/may/04/when-knife-victims-arrive-in-school-uniform-it-brings-it-home-to-you )
Could be a record breaker as it wends its way past Grenfell Tower unleashing quite 'understandable' anger!"The world is still a weird place, despite my efforts to make clear and perfect sense of it".

Prefer original String Quintet FWIW.
