Has anyone else noticed a distinctly late start to proceedings this year? Lordship Lane shops and bars were noticably quieter on Friday /Saturday than they should have been, takings down, less people about than this time last year...our annual City work bash (for clients too) was 65% last years turnout...but... looking at our bar tab they actually drank MORE.


I saw an early outrider santa hat at lunch in the last week of November, but only this week have proceedings felt festive.

Have you been drinking?


I noticed the lane being very quiet when I was out recently. Liqourish on a saturday night was very quiet but I thought being the last weekend of november explained that.


Suspect there is a general low level of expectation this year. Could just be age though. Christmas is for young people.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
