Oh.


That was why I said just yes or no would suffice :))


But glad to know the answer, anyway. I won't be eating there.


ETA: Though I have in the past eaten at Nando's. I'm sure it will do well in Peckham, just that I have become more aware of animal welfare issues than I used to be.

But it's not really that simple Sue.


For example, a large part of Nando's offering is that it's very family friendly, which is a bonus if you have young kids. It's also a good place for teenagers to go on their own.


As a parent, I'm ok with my children eating there because at least I know where the food comes from, and that it isn't terrible. Compare and contrast with Pizza Express, also very family friendly - I strongly suspect the meats they use are not much different in welfare terms to Nando's. Should that stop us eating here?


Maybe I'm a bit of a hypocrite - I would never use less than high end free range meat in my job, and I can trace all of it from field to fork, but in day to day life we sometimes make compromises.

I wasn't suggesting nobody should eat at Nando's, JoeLeg!


I'm sure it will be a great addition to Peckham!


Of course everybody does what they want food wise.


Speaking purely for myself, where there are other suitable options, I just prefer not to eat chicken which isn't free range, and these days I ask.

Thnaks for the link. I'm not a Nando's fan, it's a step up from the existing chicken places in Peckham though.


I can't put my finger on why exactly I don't like Nando's. There's something about the self-serve cutlery situation that really irritates me. Is it the cutlery itself? The fact that you have to go and get your own? A combination? Either way, I just find myself irritated when I go.


Bill's for LL? It's just a bistro, with a reputation for treating staff poorly. I used to work in Lewes where it originated, and my colleagues all refused to go there because of "Bill's behaviour", whatever that may be. It's a funny town so maybe take that with a pinch of salt. Even so, I don't know that we need another bistro here, do we?

Well I?ve been trying my best to monitor this situation via the planning portal, which isn?t working very well at all lately. It would appear that the application has been removed, and Nando?s have either changed their mind about Peckham ,or the location at the Aylesham Centre. Either way, this now appears to be on ice or not going to happen.


Something very similar happened a few years ago when Turtle Bay were very keen on Peckham and submitted a planning application and the plans appeared to be shelved for whatever reason. Not sure how or why, but it would seem that whenever useable businesses for the whole community want to come to our neck of the woods, lots of people who apparently ?know best? about what we all want, interrupt the process and eventually these businesses give up on us. Seems a real shame that in times of struggling high streets, businesses which were attracted to us pull out.

      Be careful on the pavements...

      It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.

      Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
