Thanks Hoopoedi - no, not planning to go today!

Planning to head over to the gallery to see the Eric Ravilious exhibition, but don't get out much around Dulwich any more and wondered if anyone had any good recommendations for lunch. What's near and nice? Thanks in advance.

Don't you think you should choose someone based on competence rather than age?

Have you had a bad experience with security in the past, or do you own a lot of valuable stuff? Just wondering why anyone would be keen to take such drastic steps.

You seem to be saying that people who want all businesses to pay the LLW *must not* highlight individual failures to pay LLW. Instead, they should limit their campaigns to general statements that all employers should pay the LLW. What they certainly shouldn't do, in your view, is focus their attention on a large employer with employees who are engaged with this issue and loudly arguing for the LLW to be paid. Instead they should (presumably) be flyering all businesses in ED (or South London, or the UK). Only once they've done that will you permit them to highlight specific failures to pay the LLW. Instead of asking "Why Picturehouse?" (which seems to be what you have been doing throughout this thread - and yes, I have read all your posts), how about you ask yourself "Why not Picturehouse?"

Also can get trains from Peckham Rye to Farringdon these days - don't know if this also counts as a 'London Terminal'...

Sympathy to those affected, it is a really annoying thing to happen. I always have a bit of a dilemma about whether to bother taking off the front of my radio given that it's a 10 year old tape deck model - surely not worth stealing? But you never know.

I had a bad offer experience on some printer paper despite carefully selecting the discounted recycled one rather than the full price alternative. It's all very well to say go back to the customer services desk, but this is a lot of hassle for a pound once you get home. It just seems like it should be so simple for them to program the offers they put on their shelves into their tills - don't understand why this keeps happening.

Steele is another vale personality. You would really think they would learn not to try this after it backfires every time!

Just thought I might stick up for the self scans a bit - I don't see why we can't have the choice. They are not flawless but I find them very quick as there is rarely a queue for them (they can fit more in after all, and lots of people don't like to use them). Authorisation for alcohol is obviously necessary so I'm not sure why it's the source of a complaint. Sainsbury's have cunningly improved the system offered by some other supermarkets (e.g. co-op) by moving the authorisation point to the end of the transaction rather than when you scan the booze which makes things easier.

That sounds good to me, although am I right in thinking that takes you through the congestion zone? Guess there isn't really an alternative to Earls Court without going through the zone.

...from East Dulwich. I normally go the obvious Vauxhall Bridge, along the river, Earl's Court and then meet the A4. But this is often very congested/slow and I suspect a better route might be possible crossing the river later. Anyone got a favourite route? Thanks

I've seen those etchings - sounds wrong to me that they are advertising what they don't have. That said, the two times I've been to Hisar I was very impressed by the food (deliciously smokey grilled meats) and the prices...

Thanks for that ktm - very useful! I went over Battersea Bridge in the end but your route after there was invaluable. Ended up taking me more like an hour each way with my risible fitness. Still, suspect it wouldn't be that much quicker on public transport!

Hello all, I have to cycle to Hammersmith (the tube station) for work tomorrow and wondered if anyone had any advice on reasonably direct but cyclist-friendly routes - I am a reasonably robust cyclist but would prefer not to end up doing most of it on A roads for lack of knowledge! Alternatively, if anyone has any advice on how to get to Battersea Bridge then that would be a very good start... Cheers! Edit: From ED-ish, obviously... basically from the corner of East Dulwich Road and Peckham Rye. Edit 2: Oops, have just found Horsebox answering almost exactly the same question very well - I'll post it here in case anyone else finds this thread in a search: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,148653 Sorry to bother you all!
