Really like the refurb, and I love the odd burger. And chips. But any plans to offer some healthier options? Especially as January beckons! Suspect even adding a simple side of steamed broccolli or green beans would keep parents happy. But perhaps I'm missing the point and this is lovingly made, high-cal British stodge in all it's glory.

?5 to ?10 tip for me is normal and etiquette.

It was for a specific charity...but thanks anyway. Now sorted. Online was the way....

Hi - I'm looking to buy a load of bulk food, dried beans, rice,in 25kg sacks etc. Anyone know Best nearest wholesale place for this? I have a business account... Thanks

Question ..is the current deal on the table a soft or hard Brexit? Or a "fudge deal" ?

Chocolate salty balls please.

Klaxon. Potentially useful shop in the village alert.

But if you think a 50% top band for ?125k+ earners (about 750,000 people) is the best answer for greater wealth distribution you're dreaming.

The childless digital nomads or tech owners go to where they are welcomed best. Currently: Malta, Portugal, Cyprus, Estonia...Even Berlin or Barcelona look attractive hubs at 50%.

A 50% top rate for over ?125k though? Feck that. I'm all up for paying my fair share but if you penalise job creators who - in a tech enabled world - dont need to live here they really will leave.

The Raider. He lives! Long live TDR.

Yep. I was a regular on the 40 to work but gave up about 4 years ago. At 7.15am it used to take 35 mins from LL to Monument. It's now about 50 and painful.

I can confirm - this was a genuine gesture with goodwill. Marvellous.

This is nothing short of a disaster for local amenity value. Particularly challenging for elderly residents looking to receive a parcel - how can they be expected to take a bus then wait 30 mins to an hour just to pick up a parcel? Penguin - good post but couldn't the facility be reconfigured? If "Edwardian standards" means decent toilets, heating an open plan space why did they not explore that option? Will continue to write to MP...suggest everyone does.

Nice post Jules. Look forward to trying it and best of luck

Hi, this was not the same black BMW I noted in the OP. The one I observed was a soft top with plate starting LC18. For reporting 101 is not easy - very often 20-40 mins wait which discourages reporting stuff. But we have direct police contact via our roads residents association. I emailed him directly and they ran a check on the plate and got back to me next day - was impressed.

This evening...unusual car (black BMW) with occupant watching houses from a discrete distance between 5.30pm and 7pm. The last two weeks of August show a spike in break ins. Looks like some more coming up. Have reported to 101.

Yep. Above all true. My missus was buzzed, today Saturday at 12pmish on Townley Road near Alleyns whilst out walking with our two toddlers. One rider, all black outfit, black moped and a fluro best. Black scarf round the face. Quiet st and stopped right opposite looking at her iPhone before deciding against doing it. Someone should get a Mad Max hitman to pop them all.

Where did that poster MrBen go? He was hilarious! Also ????- I heard he made lots of money and emigrated to Portugal. The Christmas drinks where everyone dressed up and then fell out was also very funny.

We found Stuart (EDF oven cleaning legend) on an old EDF thread and he did a superb job restoring our oven which hadn't been cleaned properly for 5 years - literally looks brand new again. He turned up on time and was very dedicated. It takes 2 hrs and he used a tank in the van to clean our grill pan too. Also good value. Deserves another mention on here... Stuart's number is 07976 705 693

An elderly lady who lives near us has asked if anyone know of a reliable, trustworthy dog sitter in SE22 area? Dates : 25th to 27th May. Please PM me thanks.

I've tried twice to call and pick up a pizza at pizza pick up. But they never answer the phone.Am I missing something?

But its a tough revenue call- pack it out with full on 20-early 30 something friendly vibes or make it more age diverse. The truly great pubs seem to have a magic that works for all.
