Why do you say that.. ?

Havn't seen / heard any uproar about the Beer Shop on East Dulwich Road 'Hop Burns & Black'

Seriously? I mean really seriously? It's called white stuff as it began as an apres-ski wear firm, started by two British lads working in Val D'Isere calling themselves "Boys from the White Stuff." Pretty sure if someone wanted to set up a shop selling, say, Goth clothing and called it "Black Stuff" nobody would give, ahem, a stuff. Your post took me back to the '80s when the Sun used to peddle rubbish about black coffee being banned in County Hall!

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
