Baggs

Such a sweeping generalisation makes you sound like both a coffee snob and a squazzmonkle. I've had shit coffee in Australia, I've had shit coffee in the UK. Find a cafe run by a Kiwi in London and you might get a good coffee here too.

My mother used to tell me that russian food would give me indigestion.

I don't begrudge the fireworks organisers really just felt a bit skadoodled out of my hard earned by TfL - sadly put a dampener on an otherwise lovely (and dry) evening.

Unfortunately Blackheath, despite being free, surreptitiously charged attendees travelling by train by blocking oyster gates at the station and charging max fare. Lines of police/security were insisting minimum fare would be charged but on checking max fare was charged on both outward and home journey. I called TFL for a refund today and they seemed to think it was OK to expect people to have to ring for a refund despite being told that they wouldn't be charged on the night. Rant over.

This may well be to avoid the inevitable dog running off with string of sausages scenario.

I shill make sure I take a detour then.

Thanks for logging in to make the recommendation Danielle! I'll take it with a pinch of local fine sea salt.

I went once with my husband on his anniversary and the service was just awful. They didn't offer us sparkling water with the meal and they looked at us rather sniffily when we used our TasteCard. The fish was very tender and the vegetables al dente (just like hubby likes them) I prefer mine more traditional style. Safe to say we will never be returning.

Are we talking hipsters here, or late modern hipsters? There's a difference. Laurie Taylor is brilliant in his bamboozlement here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b046l7zr Enjoy!

You should change your name to TLDR but otherwise a very entertaining update.

Not sure posting an address on a public forum is wise. Might be worth changing the title?

Pay as much as you like, Kick off at 3pm... It's non-league day so should be a big crowd and lots of fun. Enjoy!

Louisa, I will hold your hand if you like but I am sorry, at the moment I am unable to walk very fast.

With no limit on the number of times anyone can vote it could it be argued that the results of this vote are as pointless as any other? Vote AGREE Vote DISAGREE

I came here to drink milk and kick ass... and I've just finished my milk.

Sorry, that wasn't clear, the ticket gates are in operation. They are usually in a permanent state of open.

The last two days of ticket checking at Denmark Hill - the gates have been closed - really highlights the ridiculous design of the station. The bottlenecking at the gates when people have to check their tickets on the reader means that queues are snaking back to the stairs from platform level. There is no way that they can have this happen every day so the fare dodgers will continue to travel without tickets for the 28 days a month they can get away with it.

In the best of all possible hotels.
