Unfortunately all the publicity is likely to have resulted in copy-cat (sorry can't think of a more appropriate word) killings by people who were that way inclined in the first place :( I can't believe just one person would travel around the country killing cats. Unless they were already travelling, for example for work purposes.

Oh. That was why I said just yes or no would suffice :)) But glad to know the answer, anyway. I won't be eating there. ETA: Though I have in the past eaten at Nando's. I'm sure it will do well in Peckham, just that I have become more aware of animal welfare issues than I used to be.

Is their chicken free range? Just a yes or no will suffice (though sadly I think I know what the answer will be).

Everywhere. But don't worry, it's Valentine's Day first :))

At this moment in time....

Fair enough. I walked past it many times and never noticed this. Since it has closed down, maybe I wasn't the only one. I was dimly aware it made and sold pasta, but that was all. I had no idea if it was a shop, a restaurant or what. And presumably this pasta making in front of the window wasn't going on 24/7? I never saw any samples of pasta or a price list or a menu in the window. Sorry, but a business has to promote itself, and if it doesn't do that well enough then the inevitable happens.

Surely the onus should not be on a potential customer to find out what is behind a window with no goods or information in it, and a business name which gives no indication of what it is selling? Life's too short!

It's not just about price, it's also about quality. I wouldn't see the Co-op's flowers as being much of a threat to a florist, but M&S are. Unfortunately I stopped using Bonnie's after I had more than one bunch of lilies which collapsed as soon as they were taken out of their cellophane wrapping. Their stems just bent double.

May be better to try and moderate drinking always (or mostly) rather than not drink at all for just one month of the year? Or have a couple of dry days a week, a bit like the 5:2 diet?

Was that the reason? They had quite a bit of competition locally, with the florist by the roundabout and one on North Cross Road, and now M&S also selling cut flowers (whose quality in my experience is better than some of Bonnie's was, unfortunately).

You should not have to "just put up with it".

It was still there quite recently

Hopefully a glimmer of hope :)
