Ahhh. It is that time again when I have to start brushing up on my rugby knowledge so I can hold my own in the rugby conversations that people seem to spontaneously spring into when they hear my South African accent.


I will follow this thread to keep up.


I don?t really follow or know much about rugby. The only South African sports team I am properly up to speed with at the moment is the England Cricket team (who are not doing very well against India at the moment)


My friends have assured me that the Bokke (As opposed to Bokka if I am to be pedantic. Sorry Spadetownboy) are pretty good at the moment and if they are in the final I will be there with bells on, Johnny-come-lately style as I was in 1995. Which I think is the last time they won the world cup.

I love rugby (although I hate rugger buggers in the pub!!!!)


Kiwis for me.


England will get to the quarters or semis at a very big ush, but that's it. If Wilkinson does get fit to play a game, he'll be targetted by the opposition and taken out of the game! Great player, but never known anyone in any sport to have that sort of injury list. His best moment has past I'm afraid (please let him prove me wrong!).

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • 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
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
