Dear Bookgroup,

 

We have been invited to Radio four’s book club in December.

So please come along with questions/observations/opinions  about The Moonstone (this isn’t a programme about Elly’s own novels ).

The program is in Broadcasting house at 18.30, you need to be there at 18.00 and we can go for a cheep Thai meal after. 

I have tickets for Hamnet at the Garrick theatre on 10th January at 19.30.  We read the book some time ago. So far Gail, Alice, me Caroline and Shelagh, Kathleen Gillen & Joe Cooper have signed up. There is one ticket left, they are cheap: £28.00 if you want to come let me know ASAP other wise I’ll cancel the one left.

The food is superb by far the best Indian food you will ever have.

And finally, our next meeting is Wednesday 8th November at 8.00pm in the Blake room at the Clockhouse. In future we will have one month face to face and the next by zoom so our friends in Canada and France can take part.

Dear book group,

We have been invited to attend radio four's book club again:

Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ - Stay With Me

Wednesday 10 July at 1830 - BBC Broadcasting House, London W1A 1AA

We need to arrive at broadcasting house which is just north of Oxford Circus by 18.00.

You need to have read the book and send me two questions which I send to the producer.

These are always good fun and quite a buzz to hear your self on the radio when it gets transmitted.

We then go for a cheap Thai meal around the corner.

Please let me know if you want to come along.

Chick

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      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.
