My son is 18 he’ll be 19 in 10 day’s. Last Saturday my son was approached in our High Street by someone wanting him to attend a group discussion for Ipsos Mori about our council. The discussion will take 2 hours and he’ll be provided with refreshments and paid £35.00 and will it take place tomorrow at our local community centre.

I asked him what he was going to discuss, my son who doesn’t drive is going to ask why we haven’t got speed bumps in our road? Our road is a 1.6 hill, if you haven’t got a 4 x 4 you can only get up it in 2nd gear, we live at the top of it and when you look outside my front door you can see Canary Wharf which is 18 miles away. When it snows the Hill is covered with children from everywhere, same New Years Eve, people drive from miles to watch the London fireworks. The last thing we need is bloody speed bumps it’s hard enough to get up the hill when cars are coming down as it is. I might just tie him up and give him £35.00

I hate speed bumps. They've covered Blackheath in them and all they do is make people drive like the clappers in the bits inbetween.


The whole is the Borough of Greenwich is a nightmare for them!My husband will take longer routes to avoid them if he can cos of the damage they do...which is handy as he's a black cabbie! Laugh

He was like.. Big Grin
And I was like... Eeker
He was like... Wink
And I was like... Roll Eyes
He was like... Thumbs Up
And I was like......WHATEVER Wave

Why can't they talk? It's all facial expressions and half finished sentences Crazy

and then did she turn round and say this
while he turned round and said that etc. etc.

I'm surprised the teens of today aren't permanantly giddy with all the turning round.


OMG yeah. That too Big Grin

Mine aren't anywhere near teens but they do this little thing that annoys the hell out of me. I ask a question eg..have you done your homework? They answer "what?.....yeah". Me - what do you want to eat? They answer "what?.....not bothered". Always "what?" first then answer Mad

My step daughter was looking out the front window when I thought I saw our neighbours daughter walked past...

I said - Is that Sarah from next door?
She said - No I don't think so.
I said - It looks like her...
She said - No it's definitely not her
I said - How can you be sure?
She said - Because Sarah's got a lisp!!!!

I nearly wet myself laughing - she's got one great talent to tell if someones got a lisp or not by just walking past Laugh

Teenagers eh? Roll Eyes Laugh
