Cedges

Why does no one do a carvery around here? Everyone gets a choice of meat - option to pay to get more perhaps and everyone goes home full because you can gorge on roasties and veg until you fall into a coma. And you can put as much gravy where you want it - no having to ask for a tiny extra pot 3 times. Baffles me.

Sounds awesome. Pretty please cater for gluten free - especially for brunch!

I appreciate the sympathy thanks Trinidad - its not an ideal situation but it is to a point 'one of those things'. As PeckhamPam said, it difficult to do anything about this type of noise - you can't really stop someone having building work done/doing DIY although I did work very heavily when my neighbours extended to try to minimise the impact (they they were helpful to the extent possible in return - unlike their builders who gave no hoots). Talking loudly and hollering doesn't have much truck with the Southwark noise team and whilst I have called them about loud music in the past, they have to assess the noise by coming into your bedroom and they don't arrive immediately so last week I made the decision that i'd likely get more sleep but hunkering down with my audiobook on headphones and trying to block it out. As PeckhamPam also said, the people making this kind of disturbance are rarely the kind to respond to a reasonable approach. There is no residents association to the best of my knowledge and to be honest, with my medical issues, I don't have a lot of appetite to try to start one or be too heavily involved with something. Bit of a catch 22 with that one unfortunately :( I'd certainly willingly add my testimony to anything that was set up to support any action. And Abe_frowman, you seem to be confusing main road in Zone 2 central London with supposedly 'quiet' residential area that happens to be in Zone 2 central London. There is a significant difference between living on Lordship Lane and Copleston Road, as I am sure you well know when you are not busy trolling.

I'm in the Copleston, Oglander, Everthorpe Road triangle of gardens and I am slowly going out of my mind. There is a family who are constantly screaming and shouting in their garden (not arguing), there has been building work every day forever. Why so much hammering? Have these people not heard of nail guns? Last night super loud music until the deadly hours, I assume a party. Last weekend super loud music from across Copleston Road. Today some ignoramus was doing horrendously loud building work or diy at gone 7.30pm in the evening. It has definitely got worse. Just before the rain started this evening there was all manner of whooping and hollering going on. I was raised to be considerate of my neighbours, if I want to listen to music outside, I use my headphones. I don't have loud phone conversations in the garden. If I have friends over and sit in the garden, I make sure we're not loud or go in at a reasonable time bearing in mind people have kids who are trying to sleep. Sadly and clearly not everyone was raised this way. I have a chronic illness (migraine and insomnia to boot) and whilst I am more than aware that it is not reasonable to expect the place to be serene and quiet at all times, the amount of unreasonable noise around here at the moment is having a huge effect on my health.

I am unsurprised given past experience.

I think this thread might be peak East Dulwich.

Pizza Hut. It's the only one with pan bases and pork in their ham.

How is asking prices anything other than sensible? Why would I book and go to a restaurant to get there and find that I can't afford it? I'm delighted for the folk who don't have to worry about prices but we're not all in a financial position to not care and a bit of acknowledgement that some people are not so comfortably off would at least go some way to making you look less like arrogant a-holes.

Hi please can you publish your price list. I have been interested in finding someone mobile for a while but lack of price list availability makes me suspicious. Thanks.

I use Hong Hong on Grove Vale. Decent food - nothing to set the world on fire but compared to some of the awful Chinese meals I've had delivered around here, it's pretty edible. The all-in-one meals are very good value. Cash, takeout and collection only.

Try Piece of Cake opposite Dulwich Hospital - I think they do whole cakes although i haven't tried them so this isn't a recommendation as such!

You are likely absolutely right about the reason. But if they can't fry/poach an egg to order, they shouldn't be running a cafe!

Oh well 9 seconds, that'll do it.

I'm actually a big fan of Primark bedding. Surprisingly decent quality for a decently low price. The sheets and plain pillow cases especially.
