Though Health Matters sell the same things.

That's good to know, thanks. Is it still set to reopen next week, do you know?

no, just remember this isn't some protected enclave, and we border Peckham!

Personally i'd never argue with a mugger. not worth it.

It was the Youth Offending Team http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,101443,page=1 Have they moved in, does anyone know?

Don't I remember a thread about how the probation service were moving in next to the swimming pool or something like that, and i was surprised at the time how noone seemed to connect this with the possibility of more crime in the area?

I do remember seeing a sign that said u-8s are Ok in the holidays, but we go to Brockwell Pk one o'c sometimes, maybe it's there that they have a sign. My older one is 5 anyway, so not a great issue.. lots of 5 yos I know do/did go to the one o'c club here when it was running.... not all the kiddies in school sweatshirts are in nursery, lol.

I can't get out to the shops veray easily as I have two small babies.. hoping I can still get my bag on Friday. And where do i need to go, to get it,please?

Kings is one of the country's most established centres for treating gunshot wounds

So we can just go pick one up, now? Where from? Can we do it Friday or will they all be gone by then?

I hope we can get a bag and won't find they have run out...

Place behind Iceland is very good

We haven't got a voucher yet.. do we have just a week now to get the voucher and redeem it... or have I misunderstood?

Have had my car done like that, suspect it was a bus as not long after my neighbour had the same, but a witness saw the bus do it and drive off!

I can assure you we weren't at all rude, certainly not when we went in and ordered, and not even when we left before our food arrived!

To be fair, the serving staff were fine, and brought drinks to us promptly. It was the 35 mins the kitchen took to produce 2 x scrambled eggs, when the place was almost empty, that was the problem!

Hah. I just this minute received an email, dated 30th May but hitherto lost in the ether, I presume, apologising for what happened! I eat my words!

I only ventured in, after avoiding it for several years, after the owner assured me at the Goose Green fair, where he was leafletting, that things had changed. It seems really odd he spends his day giving out flyers to drum up trade, yet the basics aren't dealt with, eg response to customer complaints.

I guess what you're saying is, they're not bothered that after 30 mins they hadn't served us and so we left, my little boy was crying... they're not bothered that after 2 weeks they have not got back to me to apologise.. but they ARE bothered that I've told other people about it on this forum? Says a lot about them, if that's the case!

Further to my previous post, which got lounged - http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,128157,page=1 I said I'd report back regarding their response, if any. It is now two weeks since I left a written complaint in the cafe, regarding their slow service, and a week since my online message. They have not responded to either. Edited to add: see further post later in the thread - have now received an apology via email, which must have been lost in the ether.
