A radio on in the background is OK, but a big screen (as are appearing in some curry houses and barbers) are naff. The lovely restaurant near to W Dulwich station was spoiled by its big screen. I asked for it to be turned off (there were a handful of other diners, all equally irritate if the encouraging looks I got means anything) and then never went back. You can tune out the wireless, more or less, but it is very hard to unwire your lizard brain so as it doesn't react to bright, moving things just above your eye level.

Truly remarkable how some people (no names mentioned) can turn any thread at all about some kind of class digging gentrification thing!! Really boring.


Anyway, welcome to you Evening Johnnies (I think this is what you should re-name yourself)......!!!


I'm not a fan of enormous TVs generally either but obviously great if going to watch sport or some other event. Maybe suss out the situation with customers to see whether they find it intrusive.


Good luck :-)

I'm sitting in Honour Oak Cafe. I can hear conversations, eggs frying, people laughing and much newspaper reading. I can just detect a little radio in the background & for me, it's just about spot on.


Television if you're on your own, I concede that whilst watching a documentary its a pleasure.


Good luck Johnnies!

Apart from your spelling of Honor Oak, that's the way it should be.

ok Johnnie's - maybe TV is ok for daytime but evenings need to turn it off and have music instead.


We love coming to eat at yours - usually Saturday's after swimming - and will definitely come in the evening to show our support.

Thank you for all your comments! We are listening to all of you.

As for menu I tried to upload a photo in other section (business and restaurant, in post JOHNNIES KITCHEN ON LL). Its really hard to see anything there, but i have to resize it to be able to add it...

Hope you all have a wonderful day, despite a gloomy weather outside

Johhnie,


Will you be doing a 5 items for ?5 in the evening like you do for your breakfasts ?? In regards to the tv issue the only time i can recall it, was hearing "Here comes the hot stepper, murderer" and i felt a twinge of guilt as i cut into my cumberland sausage !!


Have you thought about upgrading to a 4k tv with a sanos soundbar ??

Johnnie,


Have you changed your sausages,I popped in a couple of weeks ago for the 5 for ?5 and the sausage wasn't up to its usual standard, can you confirm if this was indeed a one off or if you have infact changed your sausage supplier, obviously this will impact on where I breakfast moving forwards.


Thanks

Why didn't you ask when you were there? Is it easier to ask on a public forum?

RE: Alan Medic


Hindsight is a wonderful thing, I just came across this thread and thought i'd ask, obviously if i could like Cher in her seminal 1989 hit "Turn back time" I would of asked at the time, point noted.

Of course i did, the sausage along with bacon are in my eyes the most quintessential part of the traditional English breakfast, cold beans, over cooked eggs or no mushrooms i can live with but a poor quality sausage ruins the experience in my humble opinion.

Satellite, how do you feel about breakfasting moving backwards? Could this enhance your breakfasting experience? It's worth a try. In the words of Sir Arnold Bax, you should try everything once except Morris dancing and incest.

    • I do hope NOT. He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard.
