Hey Lil Bro, I hope you and H are having a fun time.


In a few hours I shall be getting ready for my flight to Auckland. No snow in Singapore, though there has been lots of monsoon type rain.


I saw in the Singaporean papers today that Britain is thinking about a new law that could see airports heavily fined for disrupting passengers' travel. I also see that further snow is expected? Let's hope that the airports and train stations are better prepared this time. It would be awful if those that were stranded on their outbound journey were also to get caught up in similar chaos on their return journey too. What a nightmarish thought.


Good luck to everyone travelling to/from the UK.

You two getting itchy feet again? Well, as far as I know, the highest hill in Singapore is Bukit Timah which soars to a massive height of...err... 164m. New Zealand now is a different kettle of fish, but I suspect the hills there wouldn't be sufficiently challenging for two dexterous mountain goats like the pair of you. Have you ever considered signing up for Mount Everest? The downside is that you might have to win the lottery first: last time I heard it cost around ?20,000 (minimum):-S.


Many consider the Lake District to be at its most beautiful at this time of year - you might freeze your tits off though!


Happy New Year xx

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
