Louisa

And even if everyone voted, we would still have the same head of state. The oxymoron of our so called ?democracy?. Louisa.

I?ve been to vote. Not one of the parties stood out. Louisa.

Looks like a mouse to me. Unless it?s a juvenile rat. Louisa.

Why have you not actually contributed any relevant opinions to this thread, and instead have exclusively taken aim on my posts, and now Foxy, with a rather poor attempt to create division in the ranks. It?s quite pathetic. Back on topic, I would like to wish this new venture the very best, and I personally am pleased to see a fish restaurant with small plate options. Louisa.

Well done for the edit robbin, don?t want anyone to notice yet another spelling faux pas eh? ;-) Louisa.

It seems every time a review opportunity pops up on this forum, it?s like a episode of four in a bed. Nit picking to the extreme. Give them a chance at least! Louisa.

I love seafood, and the menu looks resonanly balanced to me. I would be more comfortable with a few small plates and a glass of wine anyway. If I?m not stuffed after that, a cheeseboard would help. I?m historically not a fan of Moxon?s per se, I?ve always been a Sopers customer. However, this menu doesn?t look bad at all. I?d give it a go. Louisa.

They?re singled out for the reasons I explained. They are in a position of privilege as a birth right rather than a democratic right. You can?t solve inequality when people like them are given access to state funds to pay for security towards their weddding. You think it?s fair that people are going to food banks and struggling to pay the bills, whilst these wealthy aristocrats are flaunting their state funded wedding on state funded television? It?s just absurd in the 21st century. Louisa.

It?s not just about them being ?freeloaders? though is it? It?s about what they represent. Unelected privilege. Unlike our elected representatives, these people are not held accountable for anything. Louisa.

Exactly. It seems that it?s ok for the struggling person on the street to be paying towards the wedding of one of the many hangers, yet we can?t afford to give Doctors, Nurses and others pay rises. I think it?s shocking. This guy isn?t even first in line to the throne. They perform nothing but ceremonial BS. We have it shoved down our throats by the media, and the best thing we are offered in response is the so called privilege to watch this circus without a tv licence. Pathetic. Louisa.

If only we could sell the lot of them, lock stock and barrel to Disneyland, we might be able to fund the NHS for a short time at least, save some lives and get some well deserving NHS hard workers some extra pay. Louisa.

Let?s hope not! I?d rather watch paint dry. Louisa.

On the planning portal I found a application which seems to be completely at odds with the above. Louisa.

Bore off robbin. People that have to raise grammar and spelling superiority usually aren?t that great themselves. Shall I dissect some of your old posts and see what I can come up with? I?m sure it won?t take long, but unsurprisingly I have better things to do with my time, such as watching paint dry! Louisa.

We used to have silk bedding for years, but eventually the romance dies off, and you end up wanting your own space, and eventually your own bed. The practicality wares off and it can give terrible chaffing in summer. I discovered the luxury bedding range at primark and never looked back. Does the same job for half the price! Louisa.

Well isn?t this thread turning out to be gold. The oddly absent OP really has set the cat amongst the pigeons, or should I say the dog amongst the cyclists. *Bob* have you returned in an alternate guise just for laughs? I do hope so. Louisa.

Don?t worry about it Strongcoffee, it?s part and parcel of the EDf experience. I?ve been called a troll for years, Water off a ducks rear nowadays. Mind you, for some on here, if the cap fits..... Louisa.

Ignoring the content of the thread for a moment. It does seem strange that lots of people open a thread on the forum, which is clearly going to cause a polarised timebomb of same old in fighting and squabbling. Meanwhile, they wander off and don?t comment again for a while. Just a thought! Louisa.

Well I?ve been trying my best to monitor this situation via the planning portal, which isn?t working very well at all lately. It would appear that the application has been removed, and Nando?s have either changed their mind about Peckham ,or the location at the Aylesham Centre. Either way, this now appears to be on ice or not going to happen. Something very similar happened a few years ago when Turtle Bay were very keen on Peckham and submitted a planning application and the plans appeared to be shelved for whatever reason. Not sure how or why, but it would seem that whenever useable businesses for the whole community want to come to our neck of the woods, lots of people who apparently ?know best? about what we all want, interrupt the process and eventually these businesses give up on us. Seems a real shame that in times of struggling high streets, businesses which were attracted to us pull out. Louisa.

I was told by a reliable source today that our local Sainsbury?s may be adding a Argos store within the current supermarket. Apparently it?s a long term strategy to add Lloyd?s pharmacy and Argos to most existing larger stores. Any thoughts? Louisa.

Just tried to navigate my way in the car to Bromley via LL, what chaos. I waited for 15 minutes to get from one side of PR park to the plough via EDR. I gave up and came home. Before the regular moaners get involved, I tried two separate routes both of which were unacceptably congested. I am have now abandoned my plans for the day, and will be forcing myself to jump a train tomorrow instead. Not at all happy. Louisa.

No decent excuse for digging up any plants in shared spaces. Louisa.

Walked down earlier to take a look after reading a thread on here. Very sad to see this shop close. One of the last bastions of ?old ED?- friendly staff, very handy for bits and bobs- especially lottery and Saturday papers. It might not be worth much to most on here, but it was a tradition to walk down and get our morning papers on a weekend. A sad day for me, and many others I?m sure. Louisa.
