I like a Journey of Giraffes and a Parliament of Owls.


Which would be more fitting? David Attenborough outside Foxton?s windows last night, dressed in jeans, t-shirt, pin-stripe jacket and thick framed glasses to blend into the scenery, giving a commentary of the events inside in his trademark hushed tones.


?And as you can see the bonding ritual is well under way. At first it looks like a random meeting with no apparent purpose or structure but after watching for a while the subtle power struggles within the group become apparent. Note how the alpha males show their seniority by displaying the size and colour of their cuff-links.?


Or Steve Irwin, khakied up and popping his head out from behind the bus shelter outside the window.


?Look at that! I?ve never seen so many in one place before!?


?Now if you look there at the edge of the group leaning against the counter! That?s the most dangerous estate agent known to man! The young, ambitious, female! She a beauty isn?t she?! Pwoah! Crikey! Look at those!?


?Don?t be fooled though! Those nails are razor sharp and have been known to rip a man?s knackers clean off! I?ll wait out here until she?s more relaxed and then I?ll jump on her!?


[ps. That last bit is not overused punctuation. Steve Irwin did in fact end every sentence he ever spoke with an exclamation mark.]

    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
