Franklins - The Best Breakfast in Britain?
jimbo1964 replied to Muttley's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
The Rye Fry in the Peckham Park cafe is delicious. -
Maybe one of these fine bakers would start a morning bread delivery service?
-
Not quite as OTT as I imagined, it is like the ones you get in latin countries where someone has missed a hairpin bend and driven into the abyss. If you want to see a really impressive grave visit Jamie's bench in the Forest Hill Rd cemetery.

Sounds like the council need to remove it before it causes another accident.

I've lived on Bethnal Green Road (noisiest flat in the world), by the railway tracks in Bow (thundering express trains), on Lewisham Way (non-stop sirens), and just off Lavender Hill (sirens, yobs, drunks and scooters). I love hearing nothing but birds and the occasional City Airport plane now.
-
I also back onto the old cemetary. I got up this morning at 6am for a bathroom visit and the whole house was filled with the sound of chirruping. Didn't hear any crows though.

Lee McQueen seems like a thick mockney oaf. I hope he's made project manager soon.

The Horniman is probably nearest.. but it's horrible. There's a boozer on Tooley St too. -
Do you have to go to your own polling station?
jimbo1964 replied to Crepe Suzette's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Good question. I'm supposed to vote at the Harris girls Academy yet the Herne Tavern (yes it's a polling station) is nearer and I could have a pint while voting. -
The same thing happened to me the missus and Tiny Jimbo on Sunday. We went in there to take shelter from the rain and buy some tea. We were immediately ushered to the back room by a strident bespectacled woman. She said "I can't have kids and stuff up here" then she gave an audible 'unbelievable' as she walked away. Needless to say I won't be troubling them again with my cash.

Organic bakery I think.

That's a real shame. -
Some people's behaviour when driving is appalling, the same idiots wouldn't behave like this outside of their tin boxes. I'm sure i t's all to do with low self esteem and stunted emotional growth.

Right on Curmudgeon. Gina Ford my a*se, let the babies be free to find their own way.

I'm with you all the way.

Bring back the steak house.
-
I've had my share of fancypants meals, but my favourites have always been eating simple seafood by the seaside. Grilled prawns, ailoi and an ice cold beer, El Cotilo, Fuertaventura, overlooking the Atlantic ocean Scallops at the Inver Cottage, Loch Fyne Lobster and fries, Ogunquit, Maine Grilled squid and a Greek salad, Istron Bay, Crete Almost any food anywhere in Normandy.

euphemism? very funny It's not great.. too much bun and terrible chips.
-
That's terrible. What have the police done? Like Brendan says it should be destroyed (along with the owners). I hope your little girl makes a speedy recovery. I have a toddler and live just around the corner so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

A coffee shop on my doorstep offering pastries made by Newfoundland owning French women seems too good to be true. Any news on Anatolia? It says closed for refurb on the window but not much action within.. A Turkish Meze restaurant like Tas would be fab (unlikely I know).
-
I spoke to a French woman in the park who was walking a Newfoundland but she was brunette (this is sounding a bit 'Twin Peaks').
-
I loved Rome. It's a shame there's no third series.
-
I hope the coffee shop does well. That parade really needs a lift.
-
I've no problem with the Forest Hill road Co-Op. It's fine for a local store.

Few children from SE22 are privately educated

My son's only fourteen months old and I've already got school anxiety. In my day all you had to do was pass your eleven plus and go to Grammar School.
