We ate in there once and it didn't stand out as particularly bad or good really. Nice staff. Decent enough feed. Just what you'd expect from your average Chinese restaurant really.

SimonM - the work has been going on around the back - a massive extension to the shop(s). Workmen there every day pretty much.

Hi Jill, yes I take your point about the convenient stores being a bit more expensive but you might be surprised these days at Ocado. They certainly were more expensive at the beginning but now they compare very favourably with Tescos. I don't think our monthly shop is any more expensive than if we went to Sainsburys. And I guess I'm fortunate enough to not have to worry about the convenience stores charging a little more. I don't mind paying it if I can avoid a queue. I hate queues! And I like that the people in the shops recognise me and say a friendly hello. The other problem I have with having a supermarket there is that parking will probably become difficult down my street.

Personally I can't think of anything worse! Support your local traders as much as you can and get Ocado to deliver the rest. There have been a few threads on here regarding that site with lots of speculation about what it is to be, but no answers as yet. They've built it out quite extensively at the back so I would hazard a guess that it will be a supermarket of some form or another (as it was in a previous life I think).

Just rang water board. Recorded message says that there is a problem in SE22 which is currently being investigated. You can call 08459200800 for updates by recorded message.

No water here either. Landells Road. Have you reported it?

The damn thing was doodling again this morning at 5am grrrrrrr

Has it gone? I haven't heard it the last couple of days and I've been awake pretty early.

The trains can be heaving however so don't expect a seat and be prepared to sniff an armpit or two during rush hour, yuk.

On Fire - Sebadoh

There's been quite a lot of activity over the last couple of weeks actually, most noticibly a huge rsj which was craned in and is now poking out the back quite some way, which must mean the shop(s) are going to significantly extended at the rear. Supermarket anyone? I hope not, it will make it hard to park down my street.

I heard it this morning at about 7ish after I had fed my baby. I thought the noise was coming from betw Landells and Barry* at LL end but I could be wrong. Fortunately it isn't loud enough to actually wake me up. *Edited on 24th to say Tsk to my earlier post! Had the windows open last night and heard the damn thing on the hour, every hour from 5am to 9am! Definitely between Landells and CPR and not Barry as I previously thought.

It woke me a couple of mornings ago but in the cold light of the day, I thought I must've dreamt it! I quite fancy the idea of keeping chickens but keeping a cockerel in a built up area is a bit anti-social

I'm a little further away at se22 *** and use Pipex broadband without issue. I think there are less connections per pipe too as year on year I have been able to get to the Glastonbury ticket sales page relatively easily whereas my mates using the more popular ISPs haven't. I just did a speed check here http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk/ and got: Date: Download Speed: Upload Speed: Today 16:12. 4079 kbps (510kB/s). 381 kbps (47.6kB/s). I've no idea if that's good or not..?

Last week a guy knocked on my door and told me he and his colleagues were fitting flooring in the flats above those shops and was I interested in any because they reckoned they'd have a lot left over. Sounds dodgy?? Having just laid a new floor I politely declined...

We live on Landells Road near Lordship Lane junction (which is not too far from Barry Road) and the guy that installed our dish bravely climbed up onto the roof and installed it on the chimney pot because he said that reception was known to be poor in the area. I don't think he was legally allowed to go up there on a ladder (2 story house) but I'm grateful he did as we haven't experienced any problems.

Well I know that when I'm on a road with bumps, a lot of my concentration and vision is focused on where the next bump is rather than on the road ahead and any unexpected hazzards - pets/kids/footballs etc. which might peek out from between parked cars. I realise that a lot of drivers don't consider unexpected hazzards but I believe there are better ways to slow down traffic than speed bumps. I heard that the guy who invented speed bumps now wishes he hadn't. Possibly an urban myth however!

I HATE speedbumps! I'm 7 months pregnant and they HURT. I avoid them where possible although that is virtually impossible in ED! Ban them I say! And if they put them down Landells Road, I'm moving. Phew, I feel better for that rant, thanks.

We ordered a delivery from the bombay bicyle but the guy on the phone struggled to understand my (english) accent and I struggled to understand him too. The free bottle of wine which I requested to be red, yes red, no no no red not white (and then he called me back to check which colour i wanted - RED!) turned up and it was white. The food was nice but unexceptional considering the cost. I was disappointed as I have used them before in Battersea and it was mmmmmmm BUT... it was day 3 after they opened so maybe they'll sort themselves out a bit. I'd try them again. I miss the old curry house that was there - Mohammad used to tell me ghost stories as I waited for my takeaway.

I've been thinking about the ballroom thing for a while now but haven't managed to get down there yet. They call it Slightly Ballroom and it's on Tuesday evenings. I would be interested to hear people opinions - is there young people there or is it generally for the more mature punter? www.slightlyballroom.co.uk

Well this picture of Mr Damzel at Glasto 2005 might help you recognise us if we come down to the quiz...

But how will we know you and how will you know us? it's all rather mysterious on here (and maybe I like it that way). for all you know I might be the old black lady who's always in there, talking randomonly at all and sundry (but mostly to herself). I saw your quiz thread and was mulling it over but being absolutely terrible at them, it's not that tempting to me. Mr Damzel (love it!) however would save the day if there were lots of music questions and sums (sounds fascinating doesn't he). But to drag us back on topic, if you guys are going to Glasto then I think perhaps we could come and say hello... is there a code word we should mention loudly as we're lurking around the place?
