Hello,


I just want to thank everyone for making me feel very welcome on Friday evening, I had a very enjoyable time meeting everyone. Thank you Georgia for getting the venue sorted and I'm looking forward to future events.


Thanks again,

Nuala

Hello,


What about the 29th February, it does not happen that many times.


I really like The Village, it was called Page Two, in Nunhead. it has a

lovely feel to the place, I asked two friends to come along tonight and they loved the pub, we started off in The Drum, another great place.


I'm a newbie but these two pubs are great with lovely people working there.

my local pub was The Castle, a fab place with the lovely, hard working Mary.

If you guys thought the Dog was staffed by rude people...you've got a whole lot to learn about the Upland!

29th is fine for me. I really don't mind where we go. If we do the Uplands in Feb, there's always March for the Village and April for the Oriwisu Spot. And I seem to recall that the Herne Tavern missed a slot in the Autumn. Roll on May...
I'm up for the 29th too. Don't really mind where, although the Castle might be interesting. Perhaps as additional entertainment, any potential future brides-to-be can bring the other half and propose over a chilled pint of Guinness. Then it's back to CWALD's afterwards for a sobering free range fried egg sandwich (or BBQ chicken;-)).

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
