being ignored (in local shops)

Two of the bottles tasted like vinegar. I don?t know about the other because a young male friend returned that bottle.

Please - give us some dirt about customers! Don't name names, but everyone likes a bit of goss, and it's good to see the two sides on this thread ;)

I don't know where you are in the Charente but my folks live near St Jean D'Angely and they and many of their friends (french and english) regularly joke/comment about how appalling service is in general all over the region.

My folks are fluent french speakers and, although probably easily identifiable as brits, they are not treated any differently to their native friends.

Good service is also convenience; my wife and I visit them fairly often and it never fails to amaze us just how much of the working week french shops / establishments spend ferme!

Slow service is one thing - Berlin for example is known for generally slow service in cafe's, bars etc but staff are mostly polite and courteous.

Unprovoked rudeness is something quite different - a displeasure that I have not yet experienced in 8 years of living in East Dulwich.

Hi everyone,

My name is Paul and I am part of 3.09 design collective, where we're curating a 1-day conference and pavilion for London Design Festival on September 15th on the theme, 'Gender Equity In Cities'. Selected by Brixton Design Trail, our aim is to curate the conference with interactive workshops and host panels that surround our theme.

We are currently seeking sponsorship and as discussed, I would like to invite you to support the upcoming event. As a young architecturally-minded group of students, we?re challenging the perspectives of gender further by encouraging designers, architects, practitioners, young and mature audiences as well as community groups to engage with improving the dynamics held especially within workplace environments, our communities and also our cities.

#WhyGenderEquity is important. For more about our sponsorship opportunities and how we believe we can start to transform the perception of gender, sponsor us and view our work:

Paul Daramola
