I think, that in writing We're excited to open our second shop on Lordship Lane and... he may have meant to write We're excited to open our second shop, on Lordship Lane, and... for clarity. A bit prodnose but that is why, sometimes, old-fashioned use of grammar can avoid misconceptions. I wish them well in their endeavour and am pleased that the public environs (and history) of Le Chardon are to be respected.


I suspect that the more informal approach of their restaurant may be more to the taste of the new public in LL than the more old fashioned '3 courses and coffee' vibe of Le Chardon - much though, at times, I enjoyed that.

Love this post. Exactly my thoughts on reading that sentence. Love a bit of grammar! :))

I completely agree.


But if someone posted personal rubbish about you on a public forum, would you not want to respond?


If not, then I admire your restraint.


ETA: And let's hope that's the end of it.

May I just ask please, do you have a list of take-away prices available? The menu on your website just shows sit in prices. Many thanks.

Hi there - here's a fairly-comprehensive list of our current takeaway prices:


- Vegetarian tart: ?4.50

- Meat or fish tart: ?4.95

- Any tart plus any salad: ?6.50 (this is a good meal - you'll be pretty full)

- Regular tub of salad (250cc): ?3

- Large tub of salad (500cc): ?5

- Cake portions start from ?3 (e.g. lemon & coconut polenta cake) but we have 6-inch cookies for ?1.75 and pastries are similarly priced

- Coffee/tea sample prices: americano ?2.20, flat white ?2.40, latte ?2.50, any tea ?2.20


Hope this helps!


Thanks for your support,

Adam

Respectable city types? You've obviously never worked in the city. Just because they're wearing a suit doesn't make them any more respectable than your average builder. Did Dr Who drop you here from 1950?

But you're happy to eat battery farmed chicken from an Indian restaurant in a mixed grill?


*principals have to be adjusted according to my taste/argument*


Just fixed that for you Foxy.

'Respectable' was in quotes ??


Never worked in the city. ? I worked in the City for 40 years..


Back in the 70's when as Telephone Engineer field guy, I worked in Customs and Excise,

The Stock Exchange, The Mansion House, Coutes, Barings Bank, Rothchilds, Plantation Hse. in the Commodities markets.


I also worked in Billingsgate Fish Market and Smithfield Meat Market.


I met them all.

I stand corrected and didn't notice the inverted commas around 'respectable'. I should've read more closely.

Foxy - did you work as an telephone engineer for all of those companies, or work in the commodities markets for some of them, and if so doing what? genuine question.

I was working for The GPO as a Telephone Engineer and in my early days 1970 ish went out to these companies and many more to fix their Switch Boards, Lines and associated equipment.


,, after that I moved into The Exchange where I worked as a maintenance Engineer working on Telephone Equipment,

Diesel Generators, Batteries, Rectifiers, Compressors , Cable pressurisation systems, Lighting.


Post Office Telephones (GPO) became British Post Office then British Telecom (Privatisation)

I also worked for Mercury Comms. Cable and Wireless and finally Nortel Networks.


I also had my own shop in E.D. Uplands Road. and was a Temporary driver for Dial-A-Ride.


Hope that answers your question. :)

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
