Pedler Restaurant / Bar Peckham - Recruiting


Recommended Posts

I have no problem with the WR ad. Dry humour and a no-nonsense attitude. And it's actually pretty effective... if you're of a sensitive disposition then working in a busy butchers shop probably isn't for you.


I'm sure they won't lose any sleep if people who aren't customers anyway decide to boycott them.

every shop needs customers that's whats pays the bills.and what makes you think that i am not a customer? did you read the add ?. do you think that any one looking for a job needs to be told all that ?. what if you went into the shop for a job and never got it do you wounder that you fall into list,its what called people skills or lack of it.

If you went for a job interview in any Professional establishment, would you expect to be asked any of those questions.


Are you a Drama Queen , an Emotional Wreck , a Drunk , a Drug addict , a Mummy's Boy


a Mummy's Boy is (sometimes used to refer to a Gay man ) Is that what W.R. meant. ?


So Jeremy.. your comment..

Foxy your determination to push a square peg into a round hole in order to continue your brainless vendetta against a(nother) shop you don?t like or use because they / gave you the wrong change once / didn?t have the right sort of prawn / looked at you in a funny way / (delete as applicable) is extraordinary.


Your idiocy has at least provided some light entertainment while I?m stuck in working.


Carry on.

Just because a word is a synonym of another, Mr.Fox, it doesn't mean it's also a synonym of all the other words which are synonyms of the original word. By your logic then all the other synonyms for sissy you cite would also mean homosexual, which clearly coward, wimp, weakling etc do not.

Ok.. So what did WR. mean by Mummy's Boy.. ?


And *bob* .. I do not give a hoot about ANYTHING you have to say about anything..


And I have used W.R. many times.. Don't mean I cannot criticise them when they get things wrong..


as for.. 'Your idiocy has at least provided some light entertainment while I?m stuck in working'


If you had a proper job, you would not have the time to spend conjuring up continual insults in a vague

attempt at appearing humorous. Anyway , you might have sod all to do all day but I DO have things to do.


Bye..

When I saw it I assumed it meant don't bother applying if you're a bit of a Little Lord Fauntleroy, scared of getting your hands dirty sort of thing. Surely if looking for homophobia "No drama queens" sails closer to the wind - not that I believe there was any homophobic intent anywhere in that poster. I thought it was pretty unfunny and were I looking for a butcher's job I'd think twice about applying for an employer who thought that ad appropriate, but homphobia, can't see it.

Indeed, I'm busy funding the state pensions of retired failed shop owners.



So have a drink 'on me' this bank holiday.

My Pension is funded by 40 years of working in Telecoms..


B.T. Cable & wireless. Nortel Networks and Vodaphone..


I was never a 'Failed' shop owner.. The secret of any business in knowing when to get out.

I had 26 years with B.T.

I was headhunted and got 14 years back in Telecoms as a result of one phone call.


So .. Buy yourself a drink.. But drink responsibly.


DF.


P.S. I am not old enough to get my State Pension.. I retired at 56..

Who needs money..

Like I said . BT for 26 years ..Vol. Redundancy


Then Mercury taken over by Cable & wireless taken over by Nortel Networks (took Vol. redundancy)

So I did the one job for 14 years sitting in the same seat working for all these companies.

Never actually worked for Vodaphone .. They just pay my pension..


I have a very good business head. :)


Foxy.

Just when the collective consciousness of common sense thought all was lost...this poster gives us a reason to hang into this forum a little while longer...albeit by the fingertips.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
