dulwichmum Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Dear Nero,Where pray is SK3?It seems I am all alone in Dulwich - everyone else has left for holidays far away. There were no ques in any of the shops on Lordship Lane this afternoon, I had William Rose all to myself this afternoon - unheard of!DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karter Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 DulwichmumAt least 10 people asked me today if business was quiet in my store . It just was so busy today and yesterday even though its a bank hol weekend.You must have been shopping around 12.30 when things did go quiet???Or maybe people just were desperate to stock up on what we sell. :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney piers Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Nope, I'm dulwich bound this easter. I love London during bank holiday weekends. It has a magical quality to it like a secret garden or something.Quiet pint and a dvd for the mocknies tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulwichmum Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Dear Karter,Yes indeed, it was noonish when I was about on Lordship Lane, collecting my dry cleaning and buying my lamb joint and scallops for the weekend. I wonder which establishment you work in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Dear DM, SK3 is Edgeley, Stockport, home of Stockport County. Stockport is a charming little market town on the banks of the River Mersey, or at least that's what I told my O-level French examiner. A bientot!

karter Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Dear DulwichmumDo you think it wise that I expose my whereabouts to thousands of these lovely residents?.I would be a sitting duck. I just dont think we could cope with all the free advertising and extra custom it would bring. Could bring the house down. To give you another clue, we sell necesities not just luxuries. You probably even know me already, oh well the beauty of anonymity.kind regards.K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dulwichmum Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Dear Nero,You make Stockport sound delightful, I shall consider it a future holiday destination. Mr Karter, I am intriged (did I spell that properly?), mmm necesities, that would mean that you work in Moo too. Are you Pat or Maggie then? Or perhaps you are the lovely dark haired lady who served me in Dr Boo earlier on? She did make me laugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louisiana Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hard at work gardening, cycling and boozing in ED this weekend. There was a fairly length Q outside W Rose around 1.30 today, as we wizzed past on the way to grotty garden centre to get some heavy duty gloves. And the traffic was fairly heavy on the way back too.Louisiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Palaeologus Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Just back from Antwerp. Nice weather, great muscles and frites and lovely beers in the Ood Arsenaal pub - met a charming Yorkie couple and their Flemish friends. OD'd on the Flemish masters and spent yesterday afternoon strolling around Antwerp zoo.Got back this afternoon and bumped into Mr and Mrs Georgia Bullock over the salads at Sainsbos.Just watching the telly - bad news of General Gordon in Khartoum I fear.

Chartwell Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I went to South West France en vacance and so lovely it was that I sat by the pool and am now rather tanned. It was a weekend of fine wine and fine food - so much so that I have returned to work rather spaced from the experience. My french did dramatically improve though after imbibing the red of the region! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Dear Mr/Ms NeroHave you read Pies and Prejudice by Stuart Maconie? I've always found him a bit annoying but book a great nostalgia trip for us northeners. I've just got back from sunny Normandy (so full of goat's cheese I can hardly breathe) where I should by rights have been reading Flaubert but was taken on a rosy tinted tour of Lancashire and Yorkshire- fabulous holiday read. Made me want to pick up a Wainwright and go trotting off up to the Lakes....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
