My beef with fish and chips is this I only want a few really nice chips, no more than a dozen, and I don't want hardly any batter. And the batter I do want has to be a really nice THIN golden one. I want gherkin, mushy peas, real lemon and pepper too. This combined seems to throw most chip shop owners, except the lovely one in Beer, Dorset. So I occasionally make my own with homemade tempura batter. It's the only batter that's easier to make when you're in a hurry, else you overthink it.

?1000 is a sum of money I'd not want to lose. But what I'd say here is not to get caught up in the 'game' of trying to get revenge in some way. And work out how many hours of time created that billing, because you'll be spending way more time again on the whole saga. The thing is if you're really honest, is that you're pissed off with yourself. At your naivety and at someone having you over, and you're right in wanting to do something about it. But don't take some much time and energy that you really can't afford, it drags you down and kills the creativity. If I was you I'd spend time in making sure my comercial engagements were more formal, and things get signed before you do work. These are the more boring but ultimately productive things your business will need for the future. And shite Directors like these do not care what you say or think, they are risk players and they play people to the limit, and if it all looks stacked against them, only then they cough up. Or go hard and go to court, but that's a risk and you're playing someone who's aware of that. And for ?1000 which when you start taking the time and energy, isn't actually a lot to play with

I think Lou is miffed by the loss of her favourite items https://www.iceland.co.uk/amazing-iceland-value/pizza-range/

You missed Chef's Delight there in the mix EA And Subway I love Sydenham, and no there's not much difference between Budgens/Co-Op. But really I hardly shop at either as Hello Fresh turns up on Sunday nite, 3 meals all there and ready to cook. It's eliminated the 'choice' out of the busy week. Who'd have thought that Sweede chunky chips baked in the oven were so delicious??

How much are you owed ? ?5k +? You could go to court and file papers on them, via the mayors court in the city. They hold many self represented cases. You can also file a cease and desist letter on the work they're using too. Often the very fact of 'actually' going to court is enough to kickstart people into action. I've been into this court and against a very large law firm, the judges are pretty wise to the shinanigans of these shisters. But it does drain you emotionally, no matter how right you are. And to do this you'll need to get into character. Be very clear with what you want, build a timeline and know how and when to file with the court. Send everything by registered post and be right on the case. Have a strategy if they want to settle. Have a strategy if they say they want to come to court. Have a strategy if they actually turn up, as many do and many more don't. Have a very clear set of papers for the court, showing time lines and how you've tried to resolve the issue. The judges don't expect you to be a lawyer, but they expect you to be on-time, clear, organised and concise and in triplicate. Make sure you're the first into the court room, say good morning/afternoon to the judge. Ask where to sit, be engaged, be calm and quietly confident. First impressions count here. They are judges, judging you as much as the evidence. And barristers (if they come) don't like self rep, it throws them, the judges are pretty good and human. But as I said, it will drain the hell out of you. Mine dragged on for 6 whole years, and yes I got my point across and 'won' but in hindsight, I'd not built in the pain of the journey it can take you on. And lastly, morality, shame, guilt, feelings, revenge, and justice are all well and good. Just don't expect any of these to feature in any relevant way. Just chase the money if that's the issue at hand, if you can afford it. If not, then wipe your mouth and write it off. It's a harsh world out there.

We lost our Co-Op in Sydenham, replaced by Budgens (who came up with that as a brand name?) Careful what you wish for people

That's the rub, as IN is very different than standing by watching. Those streets are rammed and the side streets is often where the trouble lurks. Have fun tho

I'm not sure why the council don't make that little bit a one-way I wonder what it's cost in total damages

Dolphin Fish bar Westmoreland Road, Walworth Super thin and crispy batter But the Mermaid in Kirkdale Sydenham has been taken over, and it's been rammed over the weekend. Two guys (one is a chef) have taken it on. They plan to open a proper restaurant at the back too.

Mardis Gras (?) in Maastricht is great. I went to school nearby and we went a few times But NH is not the same. Have fun, stay safe.

No

The place in Walworth near Arment's

So, is the crossing from Rotherdoohdaah to Canary Warf happening?

I find black seating very good to fart on as I tuck into my lamb stew spicy (with bread) mixture I do hope Ali's OK tho Good luck to the team there, generic or not, it's a punt for their business I'll give it a try, even tho it looks a little bit dull for my liking. What dishes should I go for? I like a bit of heat, bread, and some meat, but not creamy. With Cobra beer it's nice.

That couple 'not shagging' in the background on an outside VT No, reading a book together I think Ha ha !

Fed up with miserable Cornish shop keepers? Well get in the car and head home to London There's a few there, but not ones you need shop with

Cornish people who own shop that tourists sometimes use Really, we don't want to deal with you either Have a great winter, with no one to bother you until 4:30pm each day

It's a bit dull/generic no? And that buffet thing, doesn't bode well Can't someone do something a little different?

I'm over cheap/crap breakfast Unless I'm very hung over, then just about anything will do

I quite like the Hong Kong style Chinese food I see plenty of Chinese people eating at Royal China on Sunday on Canary Wharf Other than that I'm quite keen on Chilli Cool, but that's not local

Then Arundel is great, as the surrounding areas are beautiful Amberly, Mid hurst, Petworth, and back lanes to the country pubs are just perfect Then nearby is also Burpham, The George & Dragon and maybe cricket at the castle ground, but the pub is right next door to the other cricket ground for local matches Bognor is crap, go take a look. But Goodwood estate and Petworth house are great, a little further out is this place http://www.charleston.org.uk As you drive down, take the A29 for the most scenic route
