Cwispie is a total ****. -- Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their lives, certainly on a regular basis." |

Of course you will be reinvesting, for their collective benefit, any profit you make? China now has some $2tn of foreign reserves. I am sure they can do without the 180,000 profit I have made ( 60,000 investment now worth between 200,000 and 300,000). Instead I will invest it to support the UK property market, and provide much needed rental accommodation, in Inner London, to give those people too poor to buy their own homes, a place to live. So I was right you are a capitalist planning to become bloodsucking landlord scum, not very left wing right on is it? Wrong. I am not planning on changing my status at all. I will simply be extending to the work I already do proving affordable high quality accommodation for those who prefer to rent rather than buy. So you are already a capitalist bloodsucker, exhorting rent from the poor. Do you select tenants who are able to claim housing benefit? The rent we are all contributing is that going towards your pension fund? No. The state should provides for DHSS tenants, so they have no need for my affordable high quality accommodation. I try to target DINKYs. |

It's just a confusing aspect of the unintended interface between modern (or perhaps "current") local government and the internal operations of the Post Office. The PO is autonomous in how it sets postal districts and this or that London postal district has no necessary meaning in terms of local government boundaries. Don't expect it to make sense. Separately, if you ask the average Londoner what you (must) mean if you say that you live in Greenwich, you are unlikely to be told that it must mean you live in Woolwich, Eltham, (the north side of) Blackheath or Charlton. They'll probably assume you mean Greenwich. That is, the area roughly north of the A2, south of the river, east of the creek and west of the Blackwall Tunnel Approach Road. |
