Steady on, steady on. I am merely a jobbing curry lover. Indeed any spicy food will do, I have today returned from Olu Deniz and would recommend the Sultan Ahmet restaurant for those that enjoy good Turkish food.


I stand by my review of Veer Zara - but did at the time point out that they were newly open. The joy of the Curry Club is that we give second and third chances. Thus even after my first experience we took a group of 14 along and had a good evening, things had improved in a short time. Good for them.


The Veer Zara menu is somewhat generic, in that it is contemporary generic. If you go to those restaurants that have refurbed and re-opened in the past few years you will find that their menus have gone in a similar direction. What I think is particularly welcome is that they now reflect their Anglo-Bangladeshi heritage rather than the pretence that they are "Indian".


There is an instinct amongst the new owners of restaurants to adopt a forumla that is perceived to be successfull and drop that which is thought to be old hat.


However, old-hat can be good. It has the comfort of the familiar and the very well practiced and so is well done.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
