Dulwichfox is allowed to say what he wants and if he wants to say you have taken shortcuts you have to put up with it because if you react he will just go into detail about his unrelated health issues, which as sad as they are, get him off the hook. if you are wrong you are wrong and just put your hands up. Unrelated to my comments above, but because he has told us all about it, I wish you luck DF.

Fluffy is THE BEST. She helped me out with some fabric folders I needed for my art portfolio and she was amazing. We managed everything through correspondence and she understood everything so clearly and quickly and the end result was perfect and really tied my presentation together. I would 100% recommend her :) Thanks Jo! Clare X

Seriously is this thread a joke? I dont get it!?

Hahah I love this forum and people getting on their high horses when they want to with no sense of irony!! I was not commenting on the fact that he was suspicious because of his dress sense. The way he dresses is valid in my comments above to highlight as it is distinctive and anyone who had seen him before would automatically recognise who I was talking about. I could not give a hoot how others dress to be honest. The suspicious part was the fact that he lingers round the Lloyds bank machine, seemingly on the phone, and appears to make a number of withdrawals within a very short space of time. This suspicion has been compounded with the fact that I have seen him stopped by undercover cops (I am pretty sure they were legit as they had badges and seemed professional enough and there was a police car in the vicinity).

I was curious about a local character in the neighbourhood and have done a search on him on this forum to see if there were any comments and surprised no one has mentioned him. There is a guy with a very long wig, who hangs around the top of Lordship Lane (Plough area). He seems to wear a very long wig in a ponytail and hangs around the bank machine up there. The suspicious part is that he seems to go to the bank machine several times in a short space of time which I always find peculiar. I would be sitting outside the Plough and see him come from the Woodwarde road direction a few times to use the machine. I have seen him be jumped on by undercover police but was not sure if he was actually caught with anything. I have never had any issues with that machine and he may be innocent but I do find his behaviour peculiar. Anyone else know who this is!?

This happened to me last night in Court Lane! I was slightly confused as none of my doors or windows showed signs of forced entry but everything in my glove compartment was on the floor. They did not nick much of value at all but what confused me was whilst I was tidying everything up my car, it automatically locked itself ruling out me leaving the car unlocked. They obviously knew my model of car well (Audi A3) as they opened cubby holes even I did not know existed.

Tinder?

Has anyone noticed Dulwich Audi has closed and is moving to Sydenham? I knew the back part was going to be redeveloped (the old Jet petrol station area) but does anyone know what is going on? Is it just closing because it has no use for the showroom now the back end is unavailable?

I find Sema on Underhill road, near Exhibition really good. they seem to be really anal about cleanliness and cook the fish there and then for you. You can even phone them up and order and go collect so you do not have to wait around. The only word of warning is that sometimes i have caught them trying to pass off a small/medium cod as a large so i always ask them when they serve me to make sure. The portions are big though

Several sources give the definition of Gunned as the way that the OP used it. http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/gunned http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gunned adjective 1. a.having a gun or guns as specified: heavily gunned http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gunned gunned (??ʌnd) adj 1. (Firearms, Gunnery, Ordnance & Artillery) a. having a gun or guns as specified: heavily gunned. b. (in combination): three-gunned.

...and then you were massively concerned and went through a myriad of reactions before opening the post and finding out what the context was?

Do you get "gunned" Grammar Police because if so the OP has just been a victim of police brutality!!!

That is such a shame! I really like Shepherds there. It is expensive but I like the quirky mix of food

Well done? A bit far to be relevant for this thread though. I get competitively priced meat when I am in Spain...

Seems good to me, and a world apart from the supermarket equivalent that would cost about a tenner more!

GBK has those tomato shaped ketchup bottles! Those are always a good conversation starter...

I meant dinners only (as i am at work during the day) but now that you ask...A whole roast chicken , 6 sausages, 1 pack of bacon, 4 burgers, 500g mince (for spagetti Bol), 4 Chicken fillets. - The Family pack i think its called? More than happy to get it for you but will charge you a delivery cost depending where you are. :p How much would that cost at Sainsbury's?

Wow. Never had a problem there at all and think the service and meat at WR is excellent and I really do not think it is pricey ? I can easily walk out with a weeks worth of meat for under ?20 (and I am a big meat eater!). The queue moves very rapidly and I do not think I have ever spent longer than 5 minutes in the queue (I really hate queuing ). I must admit I do not really get the walking into a shop and being silent waiting for 9 people to serve you when there is obviously no one else in the shop. You do not need them to beckon you forward and spoon feed you through the (uncomplicated) process of buying food. Just walk up and speak to them!!! Maybe they thought you were just being awkward and undecided about whether you wanted to buy anything or not. BTW I also second the recommendations for the butcher at the Plough!!

Just because something used to be something it does not mean that you still treat it like one when it is no longer. The Bishop used to have pool tables when it was the Foresters. It does not mean that i rock up with my pool cues and start firing balls into people!!

anoTher Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Never let the facts get in the way of a good > story... ;) err does that mean your kids were wrecking their bushes?!? If so I definitely do not have any sympathy for you. If you were otherwise distracted whilst your kids were running around wrecking the place and were not under control then the manager had every right to flip. They are your responsibility and there should not be some sort of shared responsibility because you choose to take them out in public. Then you try and besmirch their name on a public forum.

and i just clicked into your post 10 times to get you to 2000!

I agree with the Herne Tavern on this. In my eyes pubs are adult priority areas. If kids are allowed to be in there then they should behave like adults or leave (ie sit down at a table and eat and drink rather than running around). Not saying the OP did this but I see to many parents letting their kids run rampage and somehow imposing their annoying kids on the public, and getting all highly strung when they are told off. Now that I know HT has this policy I will seek refuge there!!
