Sadly the restaurant business is hard one to be in. Discussed this at length before with friends in the business and the following quote taken from http://www.restaurantowner.com/public/Restaurant-Failure-Rates-Recounted-Where-Do-They-Get-Those-Numbers.cfm may provide a better insight. "Several years ago, researchers at Cornell University and Michigan State University conducted a study of restaurants in three local markets over a 10-year period. They concluded the following: After the first year 27% of restaurant startups failed; after three years, 50% of those restaurants were no longer in business; and after five years 60% had gone south. At the end of 10 years, 70% of the restaurants that had opened for business a decade before had failed." The truth is any new business has the capacity to either succeed or fail and it's often not one thing or the other that makes the difference. It's sad to see someone's hopes and dreams vanish when their business fails but for every failure there is often a great success story at a different startup.

This happens on all roads in the area with speed bumps and tables. Maybe worth considering opening it up wider then just one road as I often feel my place shudder when a lorry goes over the hump outside...

When you get a post like the following in the business section. And before the collective forum handbags go up in unison in shock, I am not having a pop at the op, just the concept... http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1540415

Sigh, this will only get more heated once the proposed 3rd runway goes ahead (as it will) My advice is simply if you can't stand the aircraft noise now then get out of the flight path before the expansion.

Oh lord Louisa, do you keep yours locked up in a cage to stop it being "got at" I thought that practice died out after the medieval ages...

Try Lisa's restaurant a Swedish restaurant that is fun with great food too And no the Swedish chef from the muppets isn't working there

I am confused by the situation in Calais and the migration camps of people wanting to come to the UK to claim asylum or to be illegal immigrants. Whilst the people in the camps obviously didn't originate in France, surely France should be applying the Dublin Regulation to get them processed by the appropriate member state in Europe and thus out of the shantytowns that have built up around the port and into a better life? I sympathise with anyone who has been dealt a hard blow in life and need to seek asylum, but I fail to understand why they want to claim the UK as their point of entry rather than the first country they arrive in. Surely the rumours that the streets of London are paved in Gold has been disproved by now! Interested in other people's views on what could be perceived as misuse of the Dublin Regulation by EU member states. "The Dublin Regulation stipulates that the criteria for determining the Member State responsible for examining an asylum application are to be applied in the following order: Family unity. The first three criteria for determining responsibility (Articles 8 through 11 in Dublin III; Articles 6 through 8 in Dublin II) prioritise family unity and the welfare of unaccompanied minors. Asylum seekers who have family members with recognised refugee status or who are in the process of applying for asylum will have their claims deter- mined in the state where their nuclear family members are located. Where an unaccompanied minor has family present in another Member State, that Member State will be responsible for examining his or her claim (but only when in the best interests of the minor). Legal residence or visas. In cases where no family is present, asylum seekers with a valid (or recently expired) resi- dence document or visa will have their claims assessed by the Member State that issued the documentation (Articles 12 and 14 in Dublin III; Article 9 in Dublin II). Illegal entry. If none of the above criteria applies, applicants without residence documents or family present who have illegally transited through another Member State when entering the territory of the European Union are the responsibility of the first Member State in which they arrived (Article 13 in Dublin III; Article 10 in Dublin II). Place of application. Finally, where none of the above criteria applies, responsibility lies with the first Member State in which the applicant filed a claim of asylum (Article 13 in Dublin II)."

Sounds like you have already made that decision to keep it just based on how you described it.

Alien invasion activity perhaps Disguised as a chinook to distract us from the fact they were dropping an invading race of yummy mummies into ed Sigh, rolls over and gets back to afternoon siesta 😵

I have a now TV subscription that I run on my iPad and phone and I use chromecast to send it directly to the TV. Can't fault it and a good option for general catch up and movies. Not tried the sport element but well worth thinking about

Nearest club I know about is the Croydon pistol and rifle club.

It needs a little TLC and hopefully its owner is willing to pass it on rather than letting it get crushed by the council if they don't want it 😀

You have a Southwark council abandoned vehicle notice on your Land Rover Just in case you haven't seen it However if you have abandoned it then please let me know as it will be a shame to see it crushed.

Street cred in East Dulwich is simple. Places to avoid being seen... East Dulwich Forum... DOH !

Lol I agree, I got this today as well and pretty sure my address isn't nunhead too... Sigh not going to get many people signing up that way ...
