When I see a good bet I think for a few seconds and then pull the trigger. No dilly dallying about. In and out like the SAS.
But when I need to buy something from Argos I check every single review and then go onto amazon to do the same. Spent ages last week before I bought a hose.

Brixton is a cool place btf, my birthplace. If you want to buy a decent house there you better have a very big bank balance. I absolutely love the gaff.

Railton Road, know it well. My Dad had lots of houses in that manor back in the day.

A lot of Irish ended up in Brixton in the 60's, that is where Dad met my Mum and hey presto, I was born not long after

Managed a factory there, the workers all locals were great, It was more of a stop gap for me, Went to a bigger job with hundreds of staff, as soon as it came up.

I remember Slippy, the Irsh and West indians got on great, mainly because they both got similar treatment, ie, "No blacks, No Irish, no dogs". Those were the days.

As for driving around trying to find a parking space you don't have to pay I could tell you some tales about that.

I actually googled that disgustingly derogatory term mentioned on here once. Some say its an urban myth and derives from one or two signs in the 60's which were genuine but it was a wildly exaggerated phrase. I honestly don't know about it.

Replied Workrider.
paddletoe, wildly exggerated it was NOT. I lived it mate, one or two signs in every lettings windows, newsagents windows on lettings ads.etc, etc, It was blatant in your face racism. Urban myth,!!! yeah I'm sure they would like to rewrite that piece of recent history. |

deffo true paddle

By:
I know its true Capt-F. I have seen one of the old signs. More of a question if it was widespread or just a few signs put up on an odd b&b by a small number of of racist people, maybe even just a single poster which gained infamy.

After independence the Irish came to England in their hundreds of thousands, it must have been terrible for them.

paddle I was in Chiswick, a fantastic part of London, my first week at school (aged 12) was fecking horrendous, got the cr@p beat out of me, it was beat up the paddy every play time. The first school football match was my saviour, I came on with just over 20/25 minutes to go, got half a dozen goals turned a defeat into victory against our rival school.
I was untouchable at football, as a kid, Alex stock gave me a trial at QPR and signed me as an apprentice, buts that's another story. Without footballing skills I don't think I have made it through school. Let me make one thing clear, I came to this fantastic country in 1960, I worked got married and started a family, paid my taxes etc, etc. This is still a fantastic country, despite the efforts of politicians and their wealthy masters efforts to destroy it for a "cheap buck". I actually care as much for this country as my English mates, in some cases more!. England has been good to me, and I know I have reciprocated in the best manner. |

^^^^thank goodness to hear someone talk sense, makes a change from the constant whining about England and indeed the US.

BTW nearly as many as 8/9 out of ten lettings had the signs. But the positive side of it was you did not waste your time (or theirs,) where you were not wanted, and I believe England was a stronger country with a real identity in those days, some Brits don't know what national identity is any more. Would I prefer the 60s culture, you bet!.
The bulk of the Irish In London were relatively uneducated back then in the fckin catholic controlled schools, and single strong men came here to labour on building sites, roads etc. being single meant they had no social structure to go home to at night and so they congregated in pubs, work pub, work pub was the endless cycle, and after closing time fights would ensue, there were pubs in Hammersmith that I wouldn't go in to. The reputation they unwittingly fostered resulted in the "You're not renting my flat mentality" Perfectly understandable. |
