7. My kids introduced me to Race Across the World. I've heard noone else talk about it but it's great and still on iPlayer.

23/30: I've been disappointed over the past few years at how efficiently the supermarkets ordered Easter chocolate - to the extent that there was barely any left by Easter Monday. They seem to have massively overstocked this year and there are still loads of bargains around.

23/30 - agree, you could always guarantee heavily discounted Easter eggs on Easter Monday, but then the supermarkets got savvy, perhaps they discount heavily Saturday evenings instead, but my dedication to Easter eggs is not enough to verify this.
24 - or seal your clothes in bags, with one of those tennis racket insect zapper thingys as back-up.

7. Yep, Race Across the World was my favourite TV show of the last few years - part travelogue, part game with tactics and gambles, and part documentary about relationships (with all teams being likeable and having interesting life stories). My fear is that the next series will be full of 'characters' trying to stand out and looking for a career as TV Personalities.
23/30. Waitrose had some awesome post Easter deals on large chocolate bunnies. Got nine of them lined up in the kitchen.
18. Brexit - without wishing to start a political discussion, before the Referendum our relationship with Europe was right down people's lists of concerns in life, and was mostly something just the politicians cared about. This breather has given us the chance to focus back on political issues that were previously much higher up people's agenda.

6. The phrase 'Sidcup Bypass' cries out to be uttered in the voice of Michael Palin's 'Mr Pither'. To then add 'vertigo on a mere footbridge' over the aforesaid bypass would make it quite exquisite.

2. I also readjusted my duvet for summer use.(slightly different date 29th)
23. It's not eggs here, but easter bunnies which are down priced at the supermarkets, grand children got an extra surprise on 1st May.

7. Yes! What a great show, a wonderful concept and great contestants. My favourite part was the Caspian Sea.
26. Hope everything's alright...

6. My husband's mother's first husband was killed in a car crash on the Sidcup bypass (in the 1930s). There's something quite bathetic about that, I've always felt.
24. Presumably you wouldn't go to Ilford specifically looking for moth repellent... But while you're there, you notice a small hole in the cuff of your pullover...

23/30: I haven't eaten any Creme Eggs since the recipe changed and they started packing them in fives. I got a Creme Egg from a relative last month, and I plan on donating it to a food bank.
Also, my browser insists on putting an accent over the word Crème (like that)

27. What ! Beg to disagree it's one of the greatest films of the 20th C ( IMHO... )

27 - I'm with Kevin. Saw 2001 in 1968 in Cinerama, only way to see it. Two of us bunked off school, but could only afford seats within the bend of the screen - "You look that way, I'll look this and we'll tell each other afterwards what happened..." Sock-knocking-off spectacular.

10. You found Blackfen? Next you'll manage to find Northumberland Heath!

24: place a handful of whole cloves in the wardrobe. Cheaper and smell better. Refresh periodically.

23/30 - An excellent year for supermarket mis-ordering. Tesco's in Woolwich also did it.
Sadly my enjoyment has been spoiled by reading that there are six teaspoons of sugar in one Cadubry Creme Egg.....

7. We enjoyed this as well. Very underrated.
29. Hilly Fields in Lewisham? If so, it's the place which inspired a very good Nick Nicely song.

27. Sorry DG I can’t let you do that.

Well that's a huge coincidence. I used to live in Crofton Park and strangely enough the 4th April was my birthday.
There is much to see there a famous female Cook is buried in Brockley Cemetery and the Rivoli ballroom is always used for location filming.
I hope you enjoyed your trip DG

Too much 23/30 might result in 5/9!

27. 2001 is a must see film. I went to it at the ABC at Clapton Ponds - which now seems to have become some sort of church - also in 1968. And 2001 just had to be the my first 4K Blu-ray.

1. Yes - for all the developments in tech over the last decade, it's strange how uploading to YouTube does not figure.

7. For those who liked Race Across The World, you might like "The Wrong Way Home" by Peter Moore - it's a very good book

Tue 2: I never bother doing this, but that may be due to my level of blubber being my primary insulation method with the duvet a distant second
Thu 4: I passed through it for several years and was underwhelmed when I drove through the area one weekend, but thankfully it's not as disappointing as "Billing Aquadrome" just off the M1
Sat 6: It took me decades to realise that I am actually petrified of falling rather than scared of heights per se
Tue 9: That grotesque doll based on the number of nerve endings is painfully accurate
Wed 10: It's so tempting to use Boolean logic to be rude about Blackfen's gypsy tart situation - plenty of each but none of both
Sat 13: You're one ahead of me
Tue 16: Agreed - Westminster and Camden libraries were massively influential in my childhood
Thu 18: At this rate it may never happen
Sat 20: I always fancied Purdey more than those in the original series
Mon 22: If we're playing north London junctions oneupmanship, I can (just) remember Staples Corner when it was a corner and didn't relate to stationery (and Brent Cross didn't exist)
Fri 26: Oh dear - I hope it didn't relate to a close friend or close former colleague, but sadly that becomes ever more frequent at our age ... and obviously I hope it didn't relate to the thing that is fine
Sun 28: Same victim(s) or random?
Tue 30: Glad it's not just me - there's something unique and special about Easter Egg chocolate

14-It wasn't "the" Ad Blocker by any chance? Mine was doing the same and today my browser has removed it probably because of this.
