Vested interest? Intruiged now!

A rare gem on an otherwise uninspiring station. I'm not sure hes covering Londons core demographic in as scattergun and patronising a way as his fellow presenters hence the axe. Hes always been a welcome if slightly odd anomoly on Radio London and I'll miss him. Lets hope his 5Live show continues unimpeded. Robert Elms and his schmaltzy London nostalgia or dumb and dumber on the morning show? Gah.

I was an occasional listener and liked his show, but - to face facts - this is a mainstream BBC station - *the* mainstream BBC station for London, which is shedding its audience like a hairy dog in summer.


Every successful mainstream Beeb channel - secures the likes of R6 and BBC4. And if the Beeb fails to attract a healthy mainstream audience share - the other good stuff will be first in line for the chop. No listenee, no fundee.

I am so angry about this - I loved his programme! what a bunch of wallies. I actually phoned to complain and the response was marvellous "we will log you complaint and it will be made available to the customer response team and you will be contacted within ten days" how? I asked, "by email or letter which would you prefer?" actually I want a phone call. I'm afraid that is not available the complaint is passed to Capita (heart sinks) who will log blah blah blah" Capita, the same wallies who deal with alot of southwark misinformation!!! anyway, am going to start listening to radio 5 live now.


grrrr

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
