Looks like Osbourne Stewart is the first faller. The signs were there in 2007

All I can say is that as with many things in life, I'm glad there's somebody who cares. I've never given a second thought to London road signs before, but I will now. Keep up the good work David.

I vote for a stationers, too.

Anyone else pick up a fire smell this evening at about 10.30pm? I saw plumes of smoke that appeared to be coming from somewhere vaguely in the Blackwater Street area of Lordship Lane but too nippy to venture out.

Is this related to the work on the new ring main?

Sorry to hear this. Like others, I used to be a regular but hadn't been for a long time, I suppose mainly because of eating out less (kids) but also perhaps because with more restaurants on LL the main strip got all the attention at your expense. Delays in building the new community hospital haven't helped you. Really hope that your successors try to live up to your traditions. Thanks for many good memories.

Sorry to go against the flow and good intentions of this thread, but to have all these categories strikes me as being an unsustainable gimmick. I suggest you concentrate on at most just three or four categories, which should relate to enterprises that people might use several times a year so that comparison is realistic. Personally I'd go with just one category - customer service - as it includes everyone and it's the most important factor that makes the LL/SE22 experience a good or a bad one. As they say, less is more.

Etienne, this isn't news, it is either wishful thinking, speculation or a return to a tired old theme. Unless Engles can offer substance beyond the August story, this thread should go to the lounge.

I saw Big Cook and Little Cook strolling down Lordship Lane the other day. My daughter is shocked to discover that Big Cook is actually little and Little Cook is actually big. Another tv deceit uncovered.

Lucky bastard! To be pedantic, I think you'll find she's LESS than half his age. Whether that makes him even luckier I'm not sure.

I've written to register my objection to this reduction in service. Trains every 15 minutes makes the service even less like the tube, where you can just turn up and wait for the next train. If a train is cancelled, turning up on spec could now mean waiting 30 minutes.

Nipped in for a quick cuppa there today on the way back from errands, like the bright seating area at the back, hope the place does well.

My Auritone bedside radio/alarm, as advertised on the back of The Sunday Times magazine in 1977, still by my bed to this day. Mind you, it cost ?13 when I bought it, and would probably cost ?13 new today. That's deflation for you.
