I am really pleased this remark has been picked up on. Maybe it might make the (hopefully few) people on the forum who don't seem to have much of a clue about the issues involved think a bit? Right, got that off my chest, back to work now :))

It's surely the card company or the police who need to do something (not that the police appear to be interested in card crime) - if an employee is sacked, they'll just go and do it somewhere else? I'm scared to use a card anywhere round here now!!

Syndical ??

Had been very oppressive (spelling?) atmosphere all day, building up to storm :) Is it just me who finds the weather this summer very scary? I don't mean the lightning :-S

It's all the hassle that's the annoying thing, and a low limit card wouldn't get over that if it was cloned.

To be fair to the OP, there weren't many bangs last night (well not associated with the lightning anyway :))), and those there were were quite faint :)

:)):)):))

Surely having a kebab delivered misses the whole point of a kebab, which is to lurch drunkenly home with it and then see the container in the bin the next morning but not remember having actually eaten what it contained, but you know you must have done because the kebab isn't there :)) HonaloochieB, thanks for making me laugh :))

:)) How disappointing, when I saw the thread title I was hoping for aliens over East Dulwich :))

But there's a limit to how careful you can be with a debit card, otherwise what's the point of having one? I don't like carrying around masses of cash :-S

:)):)):))

OK, opening up the floodgates, what about the Maddy case? (I'm obsessed, rofl :)))

I thought the hog roast was connected (literally, judging by the cables) to the organic butcher's van in the market??

I think it's totally out of character with the area, but hey ho ..... Somebody had some money they had to use up, I guess ....

Thanks for that Amelie, I don't feel like eating ever again now :))

What absolute nonsense. Write to your MP and local councillor, I would - maybe they can get such a stupid system changed.

Anybody in this day and age who is making a living from making and mending shoes must be good at it, surely! :)

I have used both places. If you have shoes which need care in repairing, I'd pay a little more and use the Grove Vale guy. The guy in the drycleaners stuck heels intended for - erm - shoes with separate heels just as they were onto my lovely Hobbs wedges. So they looked very odd as there was a "step" where the new heel joined the old sole. This also made them strange to walk in. The Grove Vale one cut the heel and sole so that they would retain the line of the existing sole. Money well spent, I felt :)

Best to go early or you might have a very long queue to get in.

:-$

Eh? :-S
