No, because if you took the trouble to look at the VERY FIRST POST you'll see that they are also advertising the position in English, and the link you posted says that it's discriminatory to advertise solely in a foreign language - which they're not. But then you never like to let a fact get in the way of your shoddy and by now frankly embarrassing anti-immigrant narrative, do you? So tiresome.

That's a quite special rant Rendel, but there are two fairly obvious differences between the original ad and this second one... here is an excerpt from the original which im sure you took the trouble to read!


"Part-time

This job posting is no longer available on Indeed."

And I'm sure you took the trouble to read the rest of the post which has the whole advert (in English) still there. When it says it's no longer available, it presumably means the post has been filled. The posting proves that the job was advertised in English and that therefore uncleglen's claim that it is discriminatory is cobblers.

popped in Sunday night, lovely couple of glasses of wine and some v tasty quite rustic (NB this is a compliment) tapas.


Think it needs a bit of work, music was quiet, and card machine not working (a number of people walked away on reading this) but sure these teething issues will be sorted out soon. Will def go back and would recommend a visit.

I passed this yesterday and thought it looked nice so recommended it to someone I had staying, who fancied a glass of wine and some light food. She said that despite there only being about two people inside, when she sat down the woman behind the bar didn?t acknowledge her at all or come to ask her if she?d like anything in the 10 minutes she was sitting there, on her own. So after 10 morning minutes of waiting awkwardly, she left and went somewhere else. I think a tapas bar is a great addition to LL so am leaving this post in the spirit of hopefully helpful feedback and hope things improve, it looks cosy.

But we're not in Spain.


Ordering food at the bar is not the norm here. If they expect customers to do so, they need to make it clear.


If a genuine customer went in and left without eating or drinking anything, it's pretty hard to argue that they've not done anything wrong.

Wrong?

They've missed out on a sale. I don't think it was an act of moral turpitude.


We do order food at the bar here, all the time - it's the norm in bars, you order at the counter. Maybe not so much in ED? They probably think of themselves as a (tapas) bar, rather than as a restaurant. But I'm sure they'll adapt soon enough and work out how "Spanish" they can be; the fact that we are not in Spain, notwithstanding.


My only fear is that the beer might be cold and good and the food might be tasty. If it is, unfortunately, that's my bank account in absolute tatters.

This place is fun. More of a Spanish bar that does tapas than a restaurant but none the worse for that. Maria is friendly and attentive. The wine was good when we dropped in on Weds and the food was tasty. We do lack bars in ED so this feels like a welcome addition.

went back tonight for a couple of glasses of wine and a plate or two.


frankly this is one of the best new restaurants in town, no pretension, honest food, and no compromise. just perfect. Sat at the bar with my back to the window and was transported to a warmer more relaxed place. absolutely spot on.

4 of us spent the evening at Maria?s last Friday. We ate ?til we burst and had a great evening. Maria was charming. Our waitress was Spanish (who would have thought?!) and very attentive. We ordered at the bar which in fact was helpful as we got to chat to the staff in the kitchen who explained a few dishes to us and we will definitely be going back.

What?s not to like? Good luck to a lovely new addition to LL!

This is what Tapas should be - it sounds great. Will be visiting soon.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      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.

      Be careful in local shops

      By bonaome · Posted

      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.
