Happy to be shot down on this but I seem to remember all the best chippies being Italian or Greek - certainly in North West London anyway...
Well we sold out our fish and chips businesses years ago. Same as a lot of our cafes which comes from the French word cafe. Everywhere you look in most towns I guess ... phone recycling and pawn shops if not them it’s charity mate.
Aldi and Lidi lead the supermarket sweeps
Certainly a lot to rebuild to bring back the pride of Britain.

Quite right, and I really should have posted it when I first considered it. You would have understood, wouldn't you?
Actually Watford it was neither.
Was only joking. We’ll never agree on these things. I just hope we can all have a laugh together in the queues for the soup kitchen.
I'm one of those people DT and to be honest, I really couldn't give a flying **** about brexit anymore. We deal with the cards life throws at us. Some crumble some just get on with it. We all type away on here either backing someone's lies or trying to oust someone's lies. Makes us all thick really
True words
No excuses you make your own luck imo
48% to 52% we are all thick to actually believe how this crazy thing is being played out and handled. Still smell a rat over the whole thing we must be a laughing stock
Forget the soup kitchens We still have to go out for a drink at the Beefeater opposite you.

It’s crap. I went to a lovely pub in Holyport for lunch today.
And so it begins.
Elections to Labour’s National Executive Committee, the ‘supreme policy making body’ have taken place. Numbers of representatives of party membership have been increased to sit alongside MPs, Trade unionists, sundry other hangers on and Comrade Corbyn. Of the nearly 600,000 committed and passionate Labour Party members, just over half could be bothered to vote.
All three candidates elected are members of Momentum, including its charming founder Jon Lansman, who is ‘delighted to be at last representing members in a 21st century socialist party’.
Actually Jon what you have just achieved is a textbook example of 20th century intra political party manoeuvring, as road tested by Lenin and attempted by the Militant Tendency. Bully, intimidate and bore ordinary party members from being involved in local party affairs, get your vote out to capitalise on the resultant apathy and fear, take over. Step one complete, I’m guessing that between Corbyn, these people and some of the Trade Unionists the NEC will do what Momentum wants. Step two, wholesale deselection of MPs who aren’t with the programme and might think for themselves.
****ing hell this is so old fashioned, just like their ideology.
Meanwhile Corbyn still hasn’t deigned to tell us what he thinks of his pals in Iran who killed a few people protesting in the hope of a better life. His pals on the NEC will back him up in defying the majority of the membership who want to stay in the Single Market, and decline to support a second referendum - Momentum was the group which manipulated its members into preventing a proper debate on Brexit at the last party conference, and reluctantly allowed its members to campaign for remain less than a month before the referendum was held.

If just over half of them voted that still makes up 300,000 votes, and, bearing in mind that Momentum only has around 30,000 members this doesn't add up to a takeover bid.
