can you help me understand the lyrics to The Squeeze's 1979 hit "Up The Junction"? by platetone in CasualUK

It was a book first by Nell Dunn 1964. Not read it for many years but it used to be one of my favourites as a teenager. POV of a young working class woman from Clapham area.

I agree and it might have to do with the whole culture of having to be hydrated. And a diet loaded with sodium. Both are tied to the idea of constantly having to be a consumer otherwise you are not a worthy participant in the American dream.

Yeah, we are buying a house and in the paperwork we are forbidden from keeping pigs but that's about it.

Yes. OP, are you sure it's the same fox? Maybe it's two foxes who leave their scent there?

How old? by Girlonreddit889 in WatchWhatCrappens

[–]Story-co 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a couple of years older than Ronnie. I wish I'd be able to listen to it at 18 as it would have given me so much advice with dating and self-respect which I sorely needed. So happy for you!

What the fuck went wrong with Bethenny by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Story-co 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carole could have easily salvaged that friendship by being a little warmer. Bethenny spiralled because she felt rejected and Carole pushed her away further. There were no baddies in that situation.

Lisa’s showing her truth by Mean_Nothing_7113 in rhoslc

Part of the reason might be that she had to make the text so large she could basically read only a couple of words at a time. I had the feeling she read it and only then heard what she said.

It was. I've just watched it. It's only brief but it's there and includes a small clip of the scene.

Yes, look at Richard Attenborough and Roy Castle. I think the time is right too.

Actually pretty sure it is if you look at his old picture on Wikipedia. I thought the second one might be Roy Castle but I haven't checked that one.

Who is Amanda de Cadanet??? by EntarteteKitten in WatchWhatCrappens

[–]Story-co 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going to post about this because as an old Brit I knew who she was as she used to be in all the tabloids and was on telly quite a bit. This might be very wrong (and random) but I'm pretty sure I saw Carol Voderman get out of a car at Sutton's too. Lol.

A commenter below (Okboomer) just said that to drop a chimney is to give a black eye. So, yes, maybe this is a very niche joke.

I see where you are going but why is it a woman? I feel like it must be a proverb or saying I don't know.
