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. ?

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.

    • You may have seen an article in the paper today about Jewish leaders and notables calling on the UN and world leaders to sanction Israel [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/22/jewish-notables-open-letter-un-sanction-israel], "... Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over what they describe as “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza. Over 450 signatories, including former Israeli officials, Oscar winners, authors and intellectuals have signed an open letter demanding accountability over Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The letter’s release comes as EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday amid reports they plan to shelve proposals for sanctions over human rights violations. “We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust,” the signatories write. “Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.” ..."   There is also a petition we can sign to support them in their call for justice: Direct link: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stand_with_jews_demand_action_loc_cp1/?tUwBCsb&v=502713833&cl=22394973010&_checksum=7dc99acb5dd4fc5a43a24e21772f51005ea239753e9ae3033d9f79ffd6119559 "For the first time since the ceasefire, a powerful coalition of Jewish voices have come together, urging world leaders to keep the pressure up until real accountability and freedom are achieved.Their call can shift the political mood and give leaders courage to act decisively -- Amplify their voices and stand with them: The demands of Global Jewish Voices: To respect and abide by the decisions of the International Court of Justice, noting their application also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem; to apply arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court; and to resist efforts to unduly pressure and influence and prevent the workings of both courts. To refuse any complicity in continued crimes and violations of international law against Palestinians by Israel, including by ending the provision of arms and other relevant goods and services; to use relevant leverage, including targeted sanctions on governmental bodies and individuals responsible for violations of international law, and suspension of relations with commercial entities contributing to these violations. To ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches all Palestinians in Gaza at the scale that is commensurate to their vital need, that the blockade is lifted and materials for reconstruction enter, and that there is a full Israeli military withdrawal. To refute false accusations of antisemitism that abusively deploy our collective history to tarnish those with whom we stand together in the pursuit of peace and justice. If you are of Jewish heritage you can also sign here, and we will add the number of your voices to support the Jewish call for justice. Posted: 22 October 2025"  
    • I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets. 
    • What mandatory action would then be required of them?
    • Probably will be mandatory once Digital ID comes in.    They can then use the cameras on the tills too to bring all sorts of other useful ancillary controls, such as limiting how much alcohol you buy each week, or monitoring and limiting the carbon footprint of the food you buy (some foods now are already showing the CO2 emissions consumed in producing them).
