Reading Kate Hoey's hooey and Boris' bollocks really makes me worry. The best we can hope for is that they spout all that stuff and leaves things to rumble on on their own without too much interfereing. Much chance of that? |

A little off topic, but I am struck by your penultimate word in this piece: manor. Is that a normal word to use for a patch of territory in the "E" districts? I first remember hearing it in "Dixon of Dock Green," as it was not used in the leafier outer suburbs where I lived. |

Nah, he lives in a manor house. Butler and everything. Votes Boris too. |

Local news yesterday was Dorsetshire Police hoping that central government was going to help pay for security for the Sailing events in the Olympics - rather than Dorset Council-Tax Payers. The DC-TPs, if they bothered to think about this, were probably more worried that Dorset Constabulary might be too busy policing the Olympics to police anywhere else. Which is a valid concern. I wonder. |

Manor, as in "not on my manor" is a common expression all round London. Arthur and Terry used to use it all the time on "Minder". Mind you, that's got nothing to do with Lord DG who lives in the only remaining Jacobean Mansion in Bow as Mike says. |

There really is a Jacobean Mansion in Bow. Or at least there's a complete transplanted room from a Jacobean Mansion in Bromley-by-Bow on display in the V&A. |

Not forgetting the oldest brick house in London... see dg 17/9/06 |

I just read this piece from Thursday's Guardian in regards to the Aaquatics Center. Apparently it is to be used for the Paralympics immediately following the Olympics, yet has been designed with only two elevators for the disabled. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/ ...lympicgames2012 |

DG..I'm hearing some nasty rumours about Greenwich Park/Blackheath being ripped up to accomodate the Showjumping...any light you or anyone else can shred?...it might be scaremongering, but it could be appaling |
