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.

    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.  
    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
