I joined for the 5% as well. It's good and I've not had any issues with them (mind you I do everything online, so don't know what their customer service is like as such).

It's actually been there so long, it appears on Streetview:

There are two 'advert cars' which have been dumped on the road outside Goose green playground for a very long time. Both have flat tyres and adverts covering the windows. Fairly sure they can't be MOT'd. Ironically, one of them is advertising rubbish and removals.

Love kippers as well. On toast for breakfast. When I was a kid we ate a lot of fish. My dad would buy a crab on a Saturday and spend the morning dressing it.

That's a shame. I never made it here with my kids. The workshops sounded good, but only seemed to be during the week.

Looking at the crime map it appears that for burglaries, ED is above the Borough average and the Village significantly so. I agree with James that the stats used in that article are dubious, but it does still seem that burglary is a particular problem in this part of the borough.

...Anyway, where / what is this new oyster place?

They have a delicacy and freshness about them. There probably is something about the ritual of it as well and associations with being by the sea.

I love oysters, but I love most shell fish, including cockles and mussels etc. It's nothing to do with branding, or some imagined 'exclusivity'. I just like them.

a poorly disguised attempt to excuse shitting on the street

If you believe many of the posts on here, every pub is in fact little more than creche these days and 90% of the customers are under 10. Of course if you don't, then the answer would be that there is really only the Victoria with a manky kids room. The Herne used to have a play area in their garden, but I believe it's gone now.

"...The first route to come under the next Mayor's control will be Southeastern in 2018, followed by Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern services in 2021. The South West trains franchise is currently under negotiation but is likely to include a "break clause" that means it could be taken over in 2019."

Come on Fox, you strike me as a smart fellow, I am sure you can see the difference.

It wasn't aimed at anyone in particular.
