Popular Post nauseus Posted April 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2018 6 hours ago, boomerangutang said: Sorry to quote myself, but more evidence is seeping out, each week, that Ruskies (and American right-wingers) were likely bolstering the Brexit campaign prior to voting. Most Brits don't want to admit that, but it's becoming clearer that it happened. Perhaps it hurts Brits' pride - to think that Russians' and right-wing Americans' online clandestine campaigns could affect the voting of some % of Brit voters. I can certainly detect some seepage! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you see, it is not "out there" to be aware of history and to notice when things repeat. Edited April 2, 2018 by nauseus rhubarb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad was a good gardener. We had both cooking and eating apples, all sorts of veggies, strawberries and raspberries, blackberries from up on the common,. Pluims were a bit more difficult as we either got the ones dropped over the fence from next door or I would sneak over the fence and scrump some. My Mum was a plain cook but a good one. In those days if you were caught scrumping you would get a clip on the ear from the owner. Instant justice. Nowadays you would be taken to court where a good defence solicitor would plead that you come from a deprived background and perhaps you might get a fine or just a slap on the wrist. The guy who gave you a thick ear would also be in court and perhaps end up in jail for doing it. The court costs would be expensive (paid for by the taxpayers). I know which justice is the best one.

Pluims were a bit more difficult as we either got the ones dropped over the fence from next door or I would sneak over the fence and scrump some. We loved bread pudding. But we were soooo poor after the war. Our neighborhoods had been destroyed and we had nothing. Mum would say, "You want bread pudding kids? Get over the park and get the duck bread before it rains." I can recall the first Kentucky that opened in West London. "What's for dinner Mum?" Mum said "I hear there's a new shop up west. Ride your bikes over there and when the customers come out beg to lick their fingers!" Yes, happy days!
