Nice one! Very funny. Actually I am a rubbish surfer. I think we mey be going somewhere like that. A load of people that work in a bank going to some themepark thing on a Tuesday night. Should be a laugh.


Singapore I like but the last few times I've been there I haven't really gone much further than than KM5 beach bar and the four floors of whores (Orchard Towers). Too busy working to go to the zoo.

That's right. You have Inner and Middle Temple. The Nights Templar used this as their worldwide crusade base. It's open to the public during the day to walk around and enjoy the gardens. It is very beautiful, I shouldn't complain so much (I could be selling toner cartridges in the back room of some telesales pit) At night though this place is gated and locked.

it definitely wasn't a walkabout when I was there. I did have to get past security but they never stopped me.


The walkabout is on Embankement - it used to be Shoeless Joes - that ain't the place I'm talking about

Could be the Grande Marque - EC4Y 9BT - certainly the location I am talking about

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
