Steven Calloway He of whiskers and Edwardian suits, often rode the no.12 to the West End

I'm only into a few Pub's with food offers My top ones are: The Camberwell Arms Franklins The Merchant Tavern Shoreditch The Marksman Hackney The Eagle Farringdon Anchor & Hope Not many do it well I'm afraid, well not for me anyway. I just can't be doing with 'okay' places, life's too short

Mr Bao are opening in the area very soon Very tasty http://www.hot-dinners.com/Gastroblog/Latest-news/mr-bao-brings-a-taste-of-taiwan-to-peckham-s-rye-lane?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=160119

Main dealer ? Renault main dealer Are these the only places where the 'service team' desk has developed the 'we just make it up' culture of billing Renault dealer of Beckenham were my worst contenders "It needs a new module" at ?600, but really it's the shocking build and wiring quality that's at fault, but we'll not mention that and the 'module' turns out to be fine after all Anyway, where were we?

And gak, that single handedly has fekked up more establishments than anything I know It's across the class divide and I've seen many trad London boozers with their frozen faced regulars on a Friday nite It's hideously boring and I do see it elsewhere too. I've basically stopped going to places with anyone in

The Bird in Hand still has these features I believe You know, the one on Dartmouth Road Otta And some of the customers can read I think, or at least point at the pictures

Oh leave them be, who really cares for them in a genuine way He's got what he wants and vice versa And so what it's cash/love based End

Or have you been awake all night?? What time do you 'come to' Sue ? I was up at 5.15 and working, so 6:30 was a coffee break Plenty of time to develop irrational rage :)

Ok, so the express self service tills are to speed things along So what's with the phone and purse in one hand, the other emptying the goods from the basket onto the bag platform Then once the sodding basket is near empty and after a few fails that require the 'till monitor' to decode the process, we ask for a bag Then to take the goods again and one handed (in case you break your stupid plastic nails off) you proceed to cackhandedly stuff the goods into a bag Then if you like, answer your phone at the same time. You cannot 'task' let alone multi-task, FFS

Unless that closed. Sydenham BMC is alive and 'haloumi sandwich' kicking It's great Where's the Penge one tho?

Out of interest how-ish old are you? In my mind your hovering around 42, never ageing, no matter how many birthdays you have

I used the place in the past a few times a year. I liked the fish, tho the chips could have been better. That said I only ever eat about a dozen chips either way I liked the starters, the minted peas, the tartare, the service and the chilled wine I liked to sit at a big table with the kids and relax while we ate, so yes it's a shame to see them go I also liked that you could have the fish grilled and without batter too Good luck to them, see you at the festivals As to other places, the fish at this one in Camberwell is good. Nowhere near the comfort of Seacow but it has its own charm
