Greetings book group.


Our next meeting is still in the Clockhouse on the 22nd March. Only problem is the Blake room and the snug are both booked. They have offered us two tables at the back of the restaurant area which will seat 8 maybe 10 at a push. The alternative is bringing the meeting forward to the 15th, but several of you cant make that date. So I propose we meet on the 22nd as agreed and enjoy the thrill of different surroundings.

I think we could have a book group meeting at a bus stop and it would still be fun.


The Third Man is very short, do you have an idea of another short book we can also do before the next meeting?


We can discuss a trip to Banh Banh in Peckham for some time in April.

It?s cheep & cheerful and very good food.


Till then

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard.

      So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee?

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
