Is it just me who has been wondering for some time why DulwichFox, and more recently Louisa, need to put their names at the end of every post, despite the fact that one just has to glance at the "posted by...."immediately above the post to see who has written it?

AM the fish stocks are always awful in the co-op and I've had run in's with staff previously, especially on smoked cod and haddock. I tend to use soper's of Nunhead for that very reason. However, the bread is no excuse, as they tend to be stocked up but then it miraculously vanishes at the blink of an eye when a greedy local cafe decides to clear the shelves. I'm not denying this store has major stock issues, nor am I denying the powers at large could do more to remedy this, but equally it is a co-operative, the clue is in the name, businesses are not entitled to take whole shelves to re-sell on, it's just madness and selfishness at this time of year especially. We don't even know how far the OP had to travel to get their favourite loaf.


On the topic of me signing off, I've always done it, it's not a recent thing, nor do I think it's superfluous. I could argue going to a 'look at me' restaurant on opening night is a bit uncalled for, but I couldnt possibly stoop that low!

Eh?


What is significant about that?


If it is significant, then I certainly have missed it :))

But perfectly acceptable South East London (East Dulwich) before the incomers came.


It's fun being taught how the speak/write proper.

If an electrical engineer, you'll appreciate that pendants can be a bit difficult to put in their place...

Sounds like the cafes have already got an arrangement that's working out pretty well: "I'll pop in and buy bread if I need it".


I suppose Edna's Cafe could negotiate a Just-In-Time baked goods contract with a distributor with KPIs and SLPs, but probably they've decided it's not worth their time.

I blame ironic middle class hipsters mocking Dulwich's traditional working class values by flooding the area and then demanding to be fed expansive sandwiches made from cheap supermarket bread. I've heard about their sickening Sunbeam parties and it's disgusting. They're flaunting their inverse snobbery and it's literally depriving us of our daily bread.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
