  1. lizbells, there was no price for the brownies. all the cake slices were prices at ?2,95 which is fairly standard i thought, and generally in my experience a brownie is less superior than a slice of a cake and therefore i wrongly assumed it would be cheaper!
  2. this is unrelated to coffee but related to price - i paid ?3 for a brownie in andersons last week - is this a little bit expensive??? considering most brownies in borough market are 1.50 - 2.50...and this brownie was nice, but nothing special, and i had it to take away. if i had of known the price before i bought it, i wouldn't have bothered...

    In Bruges

    When I went, I got caught out and ended up eating kebabs because the majority of the restaurants appeared shut at 8.30-9ish, so watch out for that. We didn't do much touristy things but instead wandered around on foot - was lovely. enjoy!
  4. Hi all Probably going to Sri Lanka now- but I need to get vaccinations done ASAP as we're leaving on May 13th. Does anyone a) know what vaccines I need (internet varies from Typhoid and hep A to all manners of things) and b) best place to get it done? Admittedly I have not yet tried the doctors but I know getting an appointment is like gold dust and I doubt I will be able to get one in time.... thanks all
  5. 24 - currently on season 5 and massively addicted
  6. I'm not very lucky so I stay away from gambling! We're now looking at inter railing and doing eastern Europe, though need to work out our route and whether it would be cheaper to do flights and bus instead of an inter rail ticket....
  7. I drove to see Glee (don't judge me) and it was fine - we parked in the station carpark rather than O2 carpark itself, much cheaper. was fine getting out but we left as the last song played - habit of mine as i hate having to hang around fighting through crowds to get out.
  8. thanks everyone, so many places to visit!!!! really like the idea of croatia, and the california fly drive.....also thinking sri lanka.....too much to choose from!
  9. Hi everyone I am going on a 2 week holiday in the last 2 weeks of May and am a bit stumped on where to go. The problem is, there's so many places I want to visit!! I am going with 2 female friends, we have a ?1000 budget each and 2 weeks to take....Can anyone recommend anywhere? I am not particularly well travelled (I have done Spain, a few Greek islands and a bit of France!) so want to go somewhere quite exotic, but safe, cheap and fun! Thailand is (unfortunately) off the books as one of the girls has been there already, as is India as we're going out there next year for a wedding. We don't particularly want to slum it anywhere but we don't have to stay in 5* accommodation either. Any suggestions much appreciated! Thanks
  10. how much is a big issue these days?

    manners

    I find the worst people are the yummy mummy and daddy types who let their children run wild on their stupid little scooters, the children then crash into you and low and behold it's your fault for being in the way. Happened to me several times and it's very irritating-parents of east dulwich, control your children!
  13. thanks Ian, I think it is because when I do the journey normally, it's from ED and I never swipe in, so it counts the journey from LB which is the ?1.50.
  14. Jeremy you can argue that people who go to work can afford the entry price, whereas those who don't (single parents, people on benefits etc) can't, therefore they deserve free tickets more.
  15. Can anyone help as I am a bit confused - I went from Southgate (zone 4 tube) to Peckham Rye (zone 2) and it cost me ?2.00 on oyster. It usually costs me ?1.50 as I Have a zone 1-2 travel card, and ?1.50 is the price from zone 2-4. According to my oyster staeement it cost me 50p more because I went outside of the alloctated zone on my travel card, but it has always cost me ?1.50 and I swipe in/out everywhere I go. I have since tested the journey from ED (swiping in at ED) and it cost me ?1.50 again - so why did it cost 50p extra coming out at Peckham Rye, when it's closer to London and the same zone as ED?
  16. we were paying a ridiculous amount for our TV, phone and broadband package when we really only used the broadband, so phoned them up and changed from a ?41 package to a ?17.50 internet only one!!! however we have only had this package for a month when we get the letter saying it's going up in Feb....i hate virgin media!!!
  17. we have used one in my old house and it lasted over ten years. ones in my current house we haven't had to change and they were in there before we moved in, and we've been there 3 years.
  18. Are you sure platform 14 to 16 will be closed from May 2013 , I read it as for may 2013 as in for that month as the others had from and to next to them...
  19. James it looks like the paving slabs on east dulwich grove are finally being dealt with, so thank you very much!
  20. ok thanks guys :)
  21. Oh....how do I get an aerial?
  22. Hi there we used to have virgin media TV, but recently downgraded to just the internet. I thought I would buy a freeview box and install that instead, however the aerial that went into the back of the virgin box doesn't fit the freeview box...any ideas? is there an adapter i can buy? thanks
  23. Hi James There's a loose pavement slab outside the nurses accommodation opposite Texaco on grove vale. I keep tripping over it, please can it be mended? Thanks.
