This is indeed a good idea. I reckon an early tea place for families would be a winner. It's what Aneto should be doing instead of trying to attract an adult evening crowd for cocktails.

It also works better for kids than afternoon or birthdays teas because although there are cakes, by the time they get there they've filled up on more nutritious food, including a fair amount of protein and fibre, both of which slow down sugar absorption.

Clearly unorthodox, if not actually a breach of UK citizenship, but I expect it goes on. When we have tea at Fortnum & Mason my own sister usually orders a cappuccino (doubly wrong if Italians are present as they don't have it after midday).


Kaffee und Kuchen is German for Elevenses.

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
