Yes I agree with Ito1, I was also put off by the hectoring tone of the instructions to prospective participants. Surely that's the kind of thing that's better covered in a friendly personal introduction to the winetasting rather than the very first thing you read when you're considering signing up for it? And when, loaded up already with full shopping bags, we bought four bottles of wine to take to a naming ceremony, they said they had no bags but could give me a box (we had no way to carry a box) and my OH and I were forced to carry the bottles in our arms up to Somerfield, where we sneaked some extra plastic bags to put the bottles in. Of course unnecessary use of plastic bags is bad, but why couldn't they just charge for bags where people really do need one or more, and give the money to charity, as SMBS do? But yes, there's many good things about G&B including, luckily, their wines :)

Original thread and last two posts were specifically about ED/ED buses ??? And why has someone changed the title of my thread so that it looks as if it was me who wrote it? :-S

So OK, then six don't all come along at once - but a bus load of passengers has had to sit and wait :)

He called me the wild rose - Nick Cave (though my name was Eliza Jane)

That's not a song Flappers, JCC is a poet, sort of. Anyway lay off, I've got to go to bed :)) The Day the Music Died, can't remember who did it ..... My Love is Like a Red Red Rose .... Rabbie Burns, but many people have sung it, probably Jean Redpath for one :)

Rubbish, get off it Flappers :))

No. Worse. Much, much worse.

The bus was marooned at East Dulwich Station at about ???8.30???? 8.15 ?????? My brain doesn't function at that time of the morning :)) Early for me, possibly late for others :)) I don't think it can have caused any tailbacks, other buses were stopping at the bus stop and moving on past OK :-S

Both my partner and I had acute diarrhoea (sp?) within an hour of eating at Cafe Noodle, if we're talking about the tiny caff at the police station end of Lordship Lane, and we had different dishes, wouldn't go back, would have reported it to the Public Health people if I could have been arsed :-$
