Now a good curry…yummy… beats slaving over a hot stove, endless potatoes for roasties plus carrots and parsnip peeling.. Christmas pudding made with cream or brandy sauce. when one things about it, obscene the amount of food one consumes on the big day… and then the washing up…. Used to cook for 10 so do know what I am talking about…grant you, nice to have company and friendship but now reached the age when I am quite happy having a curry, wandering around in my PH’s all day and eating, watching, doing what I want when I want.. Think actually that Gail’s staff can’t say no not working… sacked I would think but equally catering for people who might be in Dulwich for the holidays and visiting and in an air b n b.. Put of interest, is this the only Gail’s opening? Or are they all opening? Plenty of other places open on the day… sure cafes in city are open…And of course, always MacDonalds..!!! -

When I managed a large staff group, and workers were needed for Christmas day, there was always a queue of people wanting a shift, for many reasons. Where is the problem-why is it shameful? -

Until the licencing laws changed in the late eighties, pubs were only allowed to open Sunday hours on Christmas Day, so 12 'til 2, and the majority didn't open in the evening unless it was for a 'private party'. But that's another story. The landlord of my old local used to let everyone double or treble up at last orders so that you could avoid having to watch the Queen's Speech with your Nans at three o'clock. Dulwich Tandoori is open Christmas Day for those who don't fancy Gail's. 'Festive Flavours', apparently.
