Yes! Cheeky buggers. The most ludicrous example I have of this was when I was having a meal with my girlfriend and one of them, clad in a huge jacket and crash helmet, saw fit to actually join us in the booth we were eating in! Honest Burger in Peckham, if your interested.

I'd classify quite a lot of these app based delivery chaps dodgy and undesirable. They lurk in packs on the streets loudly talking and smoking drugs (I know what weed smells like) then think it's ok to join the traffic to deliver food- which they have complete contempt for as it always turns up cold. I'm afraid it appears that the craze is here to stay, but the riders should certainly not loiter in the streets intimidating passersby. Equally, do not let them hang around in the restaurant when you are trying to have a meal either!

It could have been a dopey shelf stacker who slashed the packs when they opened the box, but were too afraid to tell the supervisor

Mate, are you suggesting that India is more hygienic than the U.K? Because if so, you are the ignorant one. As someone who has been to India, believe you me, they clearly do not wash their hands properly, as quite often after eating out, you'll experience terrible ring of fire and awful diarrhoea. Not so much after a fat curry in the U.K.

If you go into the curry places of Tooting, you'll notice that they have small buckets beside the toilet with water in. So guess what, the Indian dude who is making your curry has just washed his arse with his own hand and is highly unlikely to have washed it properly afterwards. Food for thought.

I'm going to be stealing bog roll from work and, if working from home, the pubs of Lordship Lane. So if you have a dump in the EDT and realise when it's time to wipe your arse there's no more bog roll, then that was my doing- sorry!

Please give your other half a huge pack on the back from me for contributing to the panic buying. Nice one!

Hi there, So I've been told to work from home for the foreseeable due to this corona thing. I'm quite pleased with this as I can sleep more and get away with doing less work, but need some tips on places in the area to work from when I get cabin fever. Ideally looking for somewhere that: Does not have groups of middle aged 'ladies wot lunch', whiling away their lunchtimes spending their wealthy banker husbands money, discussing their next imminent fancy holiday. Does not have lots of toddlers, prams or buggies clogging up the whole place. Ditto children making noise. Has cheap yet fairly decent coffee. Bottomless top ups a bonus. Friendly staff I can chat to that are easy on the eye and can hold a conversation, for when I get bored of my work Can offer booze as well, for a mid afternoon tipple. Any tips much appreciated.

I doubt the police are going to give a damn about someone picking them, whatever legislation is in place.

I often pick and take a few daffodils when I can, as it saves a few quid compared to buying them. Anyone who has a problem with this can jog on- no one owns plants that grow freely and you can do as you wish, including taking them.

Risible comment. Try having to shop in Lidl Peckham, where it feels like the last plane out of Saigon and the queues wrap around the shop because people are too thick to use the self service tills. M&S Lordship lane is a true cornucopia in comparison.

What happened to those water cannons Boris bought? They could probably do with a wash so 2 birds with 1 stone.

Thought this was going to be about a bring you own booze restaurant, which would have interested me.

It's a shame that man is breeding.
