as we live through these 'historic days' of absolute 'turmoil' and utter 'national crisis', it's heartening to note how very few fúcks the man on the Clapham omnibus actually gives as he goes about his daily business in the same quiet, steadfast manner in which he comports himself every day.

wd British hoi polloi. No tanks on the streets for us.

You were in Clapham today? My word!

Good Lord no, not literally Clapham. Mind you, I believe I heard that Clapham is on the way up, as it were? When I was a youth it was pretty much a dangerous ghetto.

It certainly is. I think it's actually pronounced Clarf'm now. The area between Clapham and Wandsworth commons, known as 'Nappy Valley' is so terribly terribly that on the Northcote Road you can't even get a proper breakfast any more. Crushed avocados only, I'm afraid.

Yes. My sister bought a house on Mallinson Rd (just off Northcote Rd) in about 93 or 94. It wasn't especially cheap at the time, but it was peanuts compared to the seven figures she sold the cvnt for in 2012.

I feel your pain, psrb. Currently in the process of transferring the equity from my old place. All very amicable, but I'm accepting a valuation that is some way below market value because a/ I'd quite like to stop paying the mortgage thank you very much and b/ What else are you gonna do? Quibble? Squabble and end up giving most of it to the lawyers? Such is life.

This is no time for hyperbole, b.

Next you'll be telling me it's safe for a cracker to show his face on Railton Road.
