40 minutes to not get s portion of fries. I mean, come on!


W Norwood even worse: recently they said a wait of ten mins. After 30 mins I asked politely if it would be soon as worried about missing the start of the film. The woman was really rude and talked to me as like I was trying to report a missing person. When it arrived it was cold. The chicken and avocado burger had literally about a teaspoon of avocado. Instant stomach ache. Is it because they're striking for the London living wage so only feel able to deliver 80%? Night out in zone 3: two tickets to a film, one cold burger and chips, one bottle indifferent red: ?70.


Did I say I'm annoyed?

I go about once a fortnight on weekday evenings (usually the 18.25 show) and we never queue more than a minute or so, they have plenty of staff on. Also I believe it's possible to order online and collect from a separate window if you wish.
Well, they do sell food and as I had an HOUR to spare before the film started and hadn't had time to eat after work a portion of chips seemed not unreasonable. It's not like I asked the person in the box office to close it while they made something in the staffroom just for me.

The Bike shop (on Rye Lane) does coffees (which is nice) :) it's the way of our brave new world.

So does the barber in the village. Funny, really, to think you can get a good cup of coffee served promptly at the barber but over the road in the Crown & Greyhound you wait ages for something not very hor or tasty.

Apologies, my last remark was a bit sarcastic.

Thanks Mick. I think it's my only talent.

I miss the Old Ritzy - great line ups including all nighters, often dreadful sound, and homemade style snacks with no loud popcorn. Once subsidies went that was the most of the art house cinemas. I suspect that Peckham is as Arthouse as most of the mainstream places.

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
