Yes, guests always served first. So then,as guests, they choose whether to wait or not Formal etiquette used to dictate that you started eating as soon as your food arrived, as with a big dinner party it would be cold before everyone else had been served. But formal etiquette used to say that it was rude to praise your food. By complimenting it, you were obliquely raising the thought that the food might not be good always.

Train from Beckenham on Saturday terminated at Tulse Hill. No-one there seemed to know anything about replacement buses. The man selling the Big Issue outside was more helpful than any of them. Finally tracked down the bus (with heavy bags)way up the road to be told it had broken down and the driver had no idea when the next one would be "There's only been two buses in three hours" And we pay for this?

Were these lights ever mended?. Am sick of waiting a red light when there's no bus in sight and when the bus light is red, the buses swerve into the car space and then their lights go green and the bus has to wait, as well as us motorists

Didn't like Iceland but this isn't much better

I saw an old map that said it's four miles from C Cross to East Dulwich Rd., and that was the boundary for taxis.Was it compulsory to accept a fare if there were no obvious reasons for declining one? -
No doubt the work of Brexit supporters

8m didn't vote: if you don't like the result PLEASE sign this petition

Then three goes would be even better? Or 4, 9 17 etc? -
Can I start a petition not to have another petition?
-
Why? Well, when you can see a park from your window, it'd be nice to sit it, not have to cart small children all down a main road.

For a while Goose Green was fenced off into dog and non-dog. It was great. More people sat in the clean part, had picnics etc that I've ever seen using it. But apparently it wasn't legal to divide it up. So back to the s..t. Like most houses in ED we have a very small garden and I would have loved my kids to be able to play there, but as dogs are important than humans, they never could And don't give me the "it's really the foxes" again, please

I wouldn't want to live in a country that wouldn't allow Louisa her say.

Who's our MEP? How much do they cost? What have they ever done for us?

More difficult to hang pictures, though

Years and years ago, in a galaxy far far away, Macdonalds wanted to open on this site. The Council refused permission, saying there were already too many cafes in the area. If they could only see it now.

Foxy is quiet right. A lot of money was spent not so many years ago and, if I remember rightly, the lido was open for about a year. And a very busy, polluted junction doesn't seem an ideal place

Libraries. Try the picture framers on North X Rd or Jeannie Avent. Picture House perhaps?
-
See you in Sainsbury's, E,s Army. I'll be the one trying to do the maths on bottles of beer.
-
Yes, E's army, I saw similar in Sainsburys - 40 tea bag box ?2.00, 80 tea bag box ?5.00
-
Last two times I've shopped at M&S the items were reduced but the till rang up the full price.
-
My favourite was a shelf in Tesco saying "50p off!!. Was ?1.89, now ?1.69"
-
Very rarely check my receipt but did this morning and found I'd been overcharged by ?12.00. Helps the profit margin, I suppose

Nobody needed my seat. Bus nearly empty. Complainant spent rest of journey swearing "f ing London f ing stinks" and so on. I had thought of engaging him in a rational debate, but, oddly, didn't.
-
As someone who's reached their threescore years and ten, should I have been flattered last night on the bus in Camberwell to have been sworn at for "taking up an old person's seat"?

former East Dulwich councillor - how can I help?

Hi What's the Southwark viewpoint on a caravan parked on a residential street? One has been left on our road.I feel it takes up a bit too much room when parking is so scarce and one van could lead to more -
Is it legal to park a towing caravan in the street? (one now outside our house). If it is, why don't all caravan owners do it? If not, who do I complain to ?
