The suggestion is that we have the Christmas EDF party on Friday 14 December at The Plough. Its a big pub and we do seem to be able to attract a good number of people (20 last night at the Forest Hill Tavern) and more will probably come to a Christmas Party.


I believe that there is a person from the Plough on the forum - could you host us? If so - what can we do in the way of music and food?


Last night, somebody was volunteered as a DJ by their wife, sorry cant remember the name - it was late.


Dress code would be "Dress to Impress" - precisely how you impress is entirely up to you.


I think that any date at that time will be pronlematic for some as they will already have prior engagements - but we have to plump for something and the 14th seemed as good as any and better than some.


What do you think folks?

I was that volunteered DJ and am looking forward to it already.


Could do with a few of us doing the sounds, anyone else up for sharing the role? BarryM?


I'll be using my laptop but we could set up decks too. Michael, we should ask the Plough about their set-up.

I thought mairead was lobbying hard for the 20th at the last do - but clearly the vote went for the 14th at fridays meet-up.


I am already booked to sing at the Royal Festival Hall, but it's occuring to me that I'll be in Scottish evening dress so a trip from the RFH over to ED might just work out nicely.


After all, you're not likely to be winding up early, are you?

My work christmas party starts with a champagne recpetion at 12 that afternoon. I will get to the plough about 9 or 10 when I get tired of watching once a year drinkers make idiots of themselves.


I apologise in advance for my state upon arrival.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
