To all those grumpy Monday morning commuters....

Why didnt you say something at the time? How did you know they are even from ED? -
Thats my dear mother. She gets a bit lost coming home some evenings from bingo. If it happens again, can you pm me and I will come and get her. Cheers, Dave.

The new pop up restaurant at Lucas Cafe - pretty good!
lane lover replied to Maisonette1's topic in Request a Tradesperson
Agree with you DulwichFox, however it is usually done in a transparent manner. Take product placements on TV for example. It used to be banned in the UK, but the ban has been lifted so long as the UK program in question shows a special "P" logo. http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/2011/02/product-placement-on-tv/ I have no issue with popups and am not sure if this restaurant is any good - thats not the issue. All we are asking for is some honesty. -

This is a great generic statement for all pop-up restaurants James, and I really love seeing local businesses do well. Well done for kindly offering your space to such ventures. What I dont like is deceptive and dishonest behaviour. It says alot about an individual, and really leaves a sour taste. Reputation is everything in the food industry, and for Seagrass to stoop to such low practices is very poor. -

I heard they will keep a coffee shop when they are done. I am unsure on timing however - or who the coffee provider will be. -
Nice one Trish. No need to apologise - you have been on this forum for 3.5 years so hardly a fake account. I am keen to try this place too ... I have heard good things!

It looks really bad; and has definitely damaged the reputation of the business. I am now sceptical in trying the new "pop up". The whole "I was just trying to help them set up" BS once you have been caught on the same IP just doesnt fly with me. You mean to say they dont have their own computer or smartphone? Please! Forumites werent born yesterday. Its a shame, because this behaviour has usually only been reserved for desperate real estate agents such as Jacksons and Pickwicks who have been caught out on here trying to drum business through bogus reviews. Admin always wins. -
Trying to buy a house in this area is near impossible

BBC's Panorama on Foxtons was a great program. I wouldnt expect much to have changed from 2006. This is interesting though: http://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/nov/06/london-property-market-flat-says-foxtons It infers current prices are driven purely by lack of supply. Volumes remain relatively flat. -

Its funny that since my last post, Maisonette1 has quickly made two other posts on other random topics. Looks a tad guilty to me ! -

Funny that all four posts from Maisonette1 are plugging the popup restaurant. Me thinks this may be SeagrassSE22 in disguise. Admin ... what do you think? -
1. I didnt know it was closed. Probably because 2. Its in Herne Hill. And 3. This should be in the business section.

Thanks James. Used DH twice today, and much better with the main stairs open. Agree with the third entrance. Not much more cost for much better flow through the station ... -

The stats above are a bit dated. Peckham wouldnt have benefitted from the ELL in the 2011/12 analysis. Since the ELL; Denmark Hill has lost a link as well - so I anticipate that Peckham may be alot busier than suggested (hence the upgrades). -

I am not sure why we need more Oyster machines. I have never used one - I prefer to use the internet where there are no queues. Simple. -

If this > happended to my daughter she probably would be > affected by it for quite some time. No surprise at all. Its London. Read some of the other stories on this forum; you get weird characters around the area everyday. I dont like guns and knives either; but I would not be surprised to have a knife pulled on me. Shocked - of course - surprised, not at all. Its London - take as many precautions as possible. Its sad, but its a fact of life in a big city. -

You guys make this sound like its a surprise. We live in London. Lock you house, your car and anything else valuable. Its not rocket science. FFS! -
I love fois gras. I have it whenever I can.

There are far too many Daily Mail readers on this forum.

I tend to use the app before I leave home - so not an issue to have it out at the bus stop. No use worrying about when the bus is coming if you are already at the bus stop right? The app is for all bus stops - so the expense to tfl for having the boards on a limited number of stops does not make sense when the majority of people get the information for free. I prefer the money be used to improve services, including new buses, more regular buses and cleaner buses. For those that cant afford a smart phone, there are other ways to manage travel. You can check on the internet before you leave home for instance. These days, you can get smart phones very cheaply; it doesnt need to be the iPhone 5s.

Foxy's maths makes sense to me. All else being equal (i.e. excluding idiots with an easy pin).

Anyone with any of the above mentioned pins deserve to get their funds stolen. Survival of the fittest and all ...

Agree with the two responses below - it may be a case of TfL saving money given so many people have the said bus apps. They are a godsend, especially in winter! For the second question - yes, they are very accurate. The only problem is some buses arent picked up; so you tend to get more buses than you expect. Otherwise the boards and app are reliable (they are both linked to the same data source).
