Today, whilst flicking through The Metro, I came-up with an idea for a thread.


It's the kind of topic you get on radio phone-ins, day in, day out and - occasionally - makes the lunchtime news, assuming no bombs have gone off somewhere important.


I mentioned it to a colleague at a business luncheon - and it transpired that he had also read the same story - not in The Metro, but in another free newspaper.


Now some of you might say that this is the kind of thread that could be started using just one or two lines. But - in an attempt to make it seem slightly more considered and thoughtful, I'm going to use a lot more than that.


So, East Dulwich.. what do you think?

Can you give me a few pointers, Axe? I think I'm sorted for a few off-the-peg 'topics' but I'm really struggling with trying to pad-out my opener in an effort to make me look a bit more serious.


Any tips? How would you do it?

What utter nonsense. This country has never been what it used to be, despite what the Daily Mail would have you believe

    • At last a decision…. Hope it lives up to your expectations. Good post though as new eateries appeared which no doubt others like myself will try out. Has changed hands last year but sure that will not bother you…personally always abit concerned if not many eating over lunchtime but  that is just me. Do let us know how food was after all of you have  indulged…was great when it was a cafe and personally hope it is good as I like Turkish food.    
    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
