Change the font you use to the smallest possible. I'll gladly use binoculars to read your informative, educational & entertaining high standard site stuff.
That's an impressive Mission Statement. ;)

Victorian wigmaking?
BRING IT

Great post! The tongue in cheek was superb today. This is why your blog is the first thing I read when I sign on. The balance between humor/satire and factual London information is perfect for this 65 yr old. Don't throw out the jam jar.

I don't know if your parodies will frighten the enemy, but by God they frighten me!

NO!

But a superb post ;)

But do you get paid £800,000 a year out of licence payers' money?

Brilliant! But please make sure your Creme Eggs aren't made by Cadbury's, I mean Kraft - oh no, it's alright, you're not allowed those any more now anyway.

a la Facebook "I like this"

If you're stopping your Random Borough feature, at least give us a picture of the famous jam jar!

Alas, I believe that the decision has already been made and once the current series of "Random Borough" ends there are no plans for any further series to be made.

(This is how you are supposed to do it. You cancel future projects that would never have happened anyway but enable you to show on paper, or display panel, that you have made great savings. The trouble is that we live in an age of people no longer brought up on "Yes, Minister" who no longer understand these things. The BBC has a lot to learn from TfL.)

You should definitely go commercial - hire out your services writing mission statements and strategy reviews for others. This quality of analysis deserves the widest possible audience!

You need to stop serving biscuits in the boardroom.

I am forming a facebook group to save the random borough at once.

Whatever you do, make sure you keep classical Diamond Geezer 3 and all those reality Diamond Geezers, as these are in no way served by the commercial sector.

If we pay you £800,000 will you post more kittens? Failing that, yes to the victorian wigmaking ...

DG is better than the BBC

Terrific post. I love it.

Why (oh why) have you not been given a Radio 4 series yet?

Your "lost rivers of London" would be much better than many of their offerings.

Luv the humor! Vibrant, world-class, peerless and perfect for the demographic of anyone behind a keyboard with a brain.

Breakfast without DG is like breakfast without orange juice.


Oh, don't delete anything! Well, you can delete George Galloway!


Brilliant post! Aren't we about due for another Random Borough? You still haven't done my home one, even though you're in no particular hurry to get to it! Hope it gets in before the cuts, so I see what I've been missing, if anything!

Sacrifice the Jam jar? No. No, no...la luta continua.

hahahahahah. But suddenly what if I couldn't read DG every day?? I havent done any contingency planning, my resilience is low and a day without DG would be a day without....6 cups of strong tea. Do you have an emergency bunker somewhere near Corsham where you can carry on posting from in the event of ...The Thames Barrier failing?All strategies I have read have contingency plans, risk minimisation options and hardened failsafe backup.Keep posting...

It only takes a little stretch of the imagination to think that DG writes the comments too (although possibly not the congratulatory ones) :)

i can hear that bloke that used to write the sun yelling that these cuts don't go far enough!!!

Are you going to have an auction for the Jam Jar (with or without the remaining slips)? Just think of the Creme Egg that you'll be able to buy with the proceeds! (Actually, maybe not...there'll be costs to cover won't there.)

Fab post, DG!

See the irony, and agree fully on your implied statements (for instance on Radio 6)...

Seriously though, your posts have been a great inspiration to me visiting parts of London I haven't seen before. (Amersham last, Richmond before it)

Keep up the good work!

Nothing lasts forever .....
