down with that. way to go.

Hi,


It is really sad that the owner of the cafe wants their custom. Clearly, the owner of the cafe has a duty of care for the safety and well being of the customer, I believe that this also extends to other people within the vicinity of the aggressor.

Nearly all contractors leave on their 'Hi Viz' vest. For avoidance of doubt look at the contractors name which will appear somwhere on the vest (if you are able).


Finally, when the numb heads are not there, I would go inside and speak to the manager/owner and advise you are not happy and advise that if it does'nt stop you might make a formal complaint. Having had such a response on this site will make me not want to go there and hopefully everyone else!.


Its a human right for a person to go about their business without fear or intimidation. If it continues you might want to go to the community (safer Southwark) office which is at the lodge in the small industrial estate on Goose Green. That said, when you look at the safety wardens they do not do appear as if they care about the safety of residents, visitors or traders.


I will have to leave it there as thats another story for another day.


Regards,

Libra Carr.

I agree with Keef. Also I think this is turning into a bit too much of a drama. If you cant face telling him/them where to get off then just walk on the other side of the road or else get a burly bloke to walk past them with you. I'm sorry to sound harsh but the more intimidated you look the more pleasure they will get.

Well actually all I asked was if other people had received the same sort of abuse (out of interest) and then commented that I'm not the sort of person who relishes a confrontation, especially at 7.45 am. I have been interested in other peoples' comments, but it's not me who has suggested the more outlandish solutions, nor have I tried to turn it into any form of drama. I don't actually look or feel intimidated but do believe it is my right to go to work without attracting the kind of Neanderthal comments that I have had to put up with.

Quite so.>:D<

I wasnt actually having a pop at you Cassius but just saying that these things happen and you either have to deal with it or avoid it. Some of the suggestions (mine included as its only my way of doing things) got a little hysterical is all.:-S

Hi Tillie


I was just a tad peeved as all I really wanted to know was whether other women were having the same problem as me - or whether I was being singled out for some reason. I don't want to tell the git to f*** off as that would, in my opinion, lower myself to their standard.


I thought some of the suggestions were very amusing and some were, as you say, a bit over the top.

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!)
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • 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.
