Having waited 1/2hr for a 484, then had the driver refuse to open the backdoors to let me on with bugglet in the buggy, luckily there was another mum at the same stop so with group effort on the fuss front he did finally let us on.


Another lady on the bus told us his bad mood + the long wait was due to him clipping a car round the corner from our stop (don't get why other 484's didn't get by though as the 343's seemed to be running ok!).


Doesn't look good for when I have to rely on this bus to & from work in a couple of months :(

I've had a driver (a woman driver, even!) not let me on with a buggy at all. She said there was no room, but there clearly was. I contacted TFL about it. They said they take complaints very seriously. To make a formal complaint, make a note of the time, the bus route and location of the stop, and driver no. if possible.
Oooh, thanks for reminding me - made sure I took a photo of the contact info so I could do an email! Can't believe how narrow the walkway is between getting on and the buggy bit... am sure Mum's and children must be one of the groups that keeps routes like this going so deserve better!

The fact that my husband and kids are away (for a whole week - yippee!!), I had no reason at all to be up this morning, yet I was wide awake at 6am. I blame being pregnant... is the baby's way of reminding me that I'll never rest again?!


On the plus side, I'm off to Bluewater for a day's shopping :)

Thanks ladies - I "came out" on the winter baby club thread, kind of forgot that most of you wouldn't read that one! Yes, number 3 is due January. I'm officially a nutter.


I have had a lovely day, spent money I don't have at Bluewater and just back from a manicure. This is the life :)

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
