    Russia invades Ukraine

    Loss of life especially any children in war is shocking but the more disruption of “here’s a message for you all” by Ukraine to the Russian population may make the Russian people sit up but unfortunately Putin & his other puppets like Lavrov, Medvedev etc will soon install more fear & slap them...

    Football

    First half not for the first time this season I thought too many strolling & showing little desire & passion especially for a Final however far down the pecking order it is of the major competitions. A second half of very good goals though got them through. BLUE IS THE COLOUR

    Jumping Barrier Incident

    Unfortunately this won’t stop anyone just crashing through or pushing through the gates or as I often witnessed working Gateline climbing over the top.

    Russia invades Ukraine

    Poor old Vlad wants a quiet day to show the world what an amazing super power he has built. I’m surprised ‘The Orange One’ won’t be there, perhaps he will? Oh no that’ll be FAKE NEWS! I for one am cheesed off putting it politely that Ukraine are always expected to make concessions whilst they...

    Towns or Cities where you were born or lived that have declined or improved over the years

    Yes I remember my many years on the road calling on retail & Hempstead Valley in the late 70s the Savacentre opening which was a joint Sainsbury’s & BHS venture & many consumers flocking there obviously taking a lot of trade away from the Medway towns. Like many towns retail declined slowly but...

    Towns or Cities where you were born or lived that have declined or improved over the years

    Being an ex Croydonian of decades I’m now in West Sussex, my closest main town of Worthing similar, the old Beales Department Store converted to flats with shop units below but all still empty, the big Debenhams now looks as if being converted to a similar profile. Many other retailers gone...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    My answer to your question is that Trump will do what ever his pal ‘Vlad’ wants, after all Trump wants to to stamp his name in the history books that he stopped this war within 24 hours of coming back into office…. oh wait…

    Russia invades Ukraine

    I was reading this missile was produced in Ukraine or indicates such which I wasn’t aware of.

    Well done Barcodes. But in other news another passive performance by the lot from Fulham Broadway, not that the Goons were great but didn’t have to be. KTBFFH

    Football

    I was at Stamford Bridge last night, yes through to the Conference League quarters but another poor performance against a team that are not great but gave it a go & their passing moving forward was very good. Said it before with the exception of a few players every game the desire & passion...

    I agree re Croydon although up until the last decade I only lived in Wandsworth & Croydon London Boroughs & there must be many more inner city areas across the UK with a similar picture. I also remember when I was young (not sure actually I can remember that far back now) other areas of South...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    The Arrogance coming out of the Trump camp is staggering, sorry even more staggering, diplomacy is not in their vocabulary. And that’s being polite.

    Yes my closest bigger town is Worthing & both big Department Stores have gone the last few years, Beales & Debenhams. Along side other smaller units closing town centres now have a totally different look, the demise of The High Street.

    I believe France have & continue to do so but how it stacks up against USA intelligence I’ve no idea.

    Yes barber shops on their own we could easily start a separate thread, I bet there isn’t many of us where we live or not to far away where they are surfacing at quite a rate & often not that far apart from each other, got to feel sorry for the barbers that have been there for years if not...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    Exactly but we won’t, this Government like the last will make the right noises & do nothing, even the Bulgarians recently uncovered spying in the UK for Putin it’ll be on our news for about 10 minutes.

    Russia invades Ukraine

    And at least 20 killed in Donetsk & Kharkhiv overnight hitting 8 residential buildings & the same old line trotted out by Moscow that they only hit infrastructure & not civilians, after 3 years they need to change their script. Don’t worry though Trump has it all under control, not only in...

    Towns or Cities where you were born or lived that have declined or improved over the years

    Yes you’re right, The Warehouse, St George’s Walk, nearby Grants Department Store & Allders at the time the third largest Department Store in Europe. Quite a business hub too with Nestle Head Office & a large BT presence alongside many other companies but this could turn into a Croydon thread...
