So which is it? Ochayethenoo or Ochayethernoo?

and more importantly, how do you pronounce it?

Och aye the new

No 'r'. It's not it's real name. You have the real name in the link I sent you the other day.

Och aye the noo. not nyoo.

How many more times is the gas main on the junction of Coldharbour Lane and Brixton Road going to fail requiring days of roadworks and disruption?

I look forward to the post office news from @Onket today

I've not been.

I can tell you that there is a Real Ale Festival on at the Wetherspoons, though. I like it.

 

[Onket]

The County Show was so much nicer when there were far fewer people there, but it's been discovered now.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Obviously it's better for anyone who has a stall

The various drilling noises manage to add another layer of annoyance on top of the never ending racket from the car wash.

Debatable, but you're not hearing it every single day of the week, all freaking day long.

True, but I do have the remote control cars almost every day and they each have their own sound

Main noise I can hear is excited small children up and down the street. One of the dads dressed as a skeleton and jumped out at them from behind a hedge... Shrieks and giggles complicating my conference call a little, but I like it.

Is it Halloween today then?

 

[Manter]

Is it Halloween today then?

No, there is just a very strange man that lives down my street who likes scaring children

 

[Greebo]

Is it Halloween today then?

No Minnie, it's Samhain

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

No Minnie, it's Samhain

Samhaim and Halloween both on the same day?



















So it's today is it. *makes point not to answer front door*

Don't blame him. Children are scary

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Anyway, I thought it was yesterday. They were dressed up in Eastenders yesteday

Oh yes. Hence my not having been online most of today. Busy, busy, busy.

In other news, yoots have been letting off fireworks in broad daylight.

They aren't quite 'right ' in east London....

Just had two two year olds trick or treating with their parents...

There's now a massive* pothole in the road just by the corner of Brixton Road / Atlantic Road; saw two cyclists almost fall into it today.

* slight exaggeration, as it's almost cauldron sized.
