Looks like the 'Massive Bacon Sandwiches' from Franklins are off the Menu then :)

The floor was solid with Large ceramic tiles. The floor was then screeded all over to include areas not tiled to level the floor. An Aluminium backed insulating underlay was laid and a high quality interlocking laminate was laid. The floor was laid over the entire Kichen to cover areas under all units. The joints are virtually invisible so not too worried about water seepage. DulwichFox

Does indeed look like a Shell which is why I dismissed it. Very true how fast these places can be fitted out with the right team. DulwichFox

Paid up but no Email or stickers.. DulwichFox

Spoke with the New owner Dave this afternoon. Very pleasant fellow. Pub will be under The Old Spot Brewery and not Youngs. Old Spot offers 5 - 6 beers. But Dave will be getting Guest beers inc. London Pride Fullers Food will be available but Beer will be main Priority. Hopes to be open in 2 1/2 weeks. Pending removal of asbestos. ?? so could be delayed Also big Clean-up and Decorating job,, Painting, New Toilets.. Well needed in my opinion Look forward to having an Old Pub back open after 15 years.. Just my opinion but I have a good feeling about this. EDT needs some decent competition. Good Pub but They are getting a bit complacent DulwichFox

I'm looking for advice on Cleaning Laminate Flooring. I've looked at some YouTube Vids. but methods vary. Cleaning Mops, sponge head mops, Cleaning fluids, Water and Vinegar ??? Any tips much appreciated. DulwichFox ETA Cannot get the surface too wet.

There is Building work on Blenheim Grove along by the Station. I was under the impression that this was due for demolition to open up the Station Square but evidently it is all being redeveloped and Not demolished.. I remember as a kid there used to be an amazing model shop(Train Sets and the like )along that stretch. Foxy ETA. So where is/will be this new Tonkotsu place ??

Your Internet and I.P. has NOT been compromised (in Many Countries) as suggested. You will NOT be arrested if you do not press (1).

Just clear down and get on with the rest of your day. You have nothing to worry about. I get this same Scam call 2 - 3 times a week. Often early morning 09.00am Another one says Your internet will be disconnected today. Press (1) to speak with the B.T. Technical Department. B.T. NEVER contact its customers this way. DulwichFox

I travel by bus most days between 10.00am and 02.00pm They are chocker block. P13 , 12 , 37 Standing room only. Example. 37 bus yesterday 13.00 at Peckham Nigel road towards Dulwich Indicator said 14 mins. but bus came and drivers swapped over but bus waited 12 mins before moving off. Bus was Full. got to East Dulwich Road. 17 people got on. Got to goose green playground stop. another 7 - 8 people got on. Standing room only on a Sunday. Worse during the day. I Know it is even worse for 185, 40, 176 at 08.00 rush hour. Cannot even get on the Bus. DulwichFox

The Pizza Oven has been in place for a while now.. The Counter in place. The Outside signage is done The outside repainted. There seems to be a floor laid internally but may just be a screed. Cannot tell peering through the window. After taking on the place work seems to of progressed remarkably fast. Lets not get too excited. It's yet to open. Like I say, I was told it will open next week. DulwichFox

Sainsbury's have a range of Olive Oils with a range of prices. I opted for the San Leandro Cold Extracted Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Andalusia Spain. Priced at ?5.50 500ml. ?11.00 Ltr. and very good it is too. I watch a lot of Cooking programs on TV and Spanish Olive Oil is Highly rated by many Chefs. DulwichFox

Once the carrier bag Tax was put in place the price can be set at any level I think it will rise... 10p -- 15p -- 20p -- 25p ------ 50p. DulwichFox

I hate Stag Beetles. They are the one creature that REALLY Freaks be out. Foxy

Trump criticises Sadiq_Khan on his handling of Knife_Crime. Well that may well be true. BUT what is Trump doing about Gun crime back home.

He asked me if I would be interested to come on board and help fund the project but I declined. It would of cost a lot of money.. ?100k. ??? Foxy

Khan's in Peckham has an extensive selection of Asian ingredients and is by far the cheapest. Wing Tai Peckham Hanoer Park extensive Chinese ingredients and spices most of which I am not familiar with. DulwichFox

Trafalgar Square is connected to Parliament Square Via Whitehall and Parliament Street. Downing street is Off of Whitehall and has no public access. they would need to close Whitehall
