Not found anywhere down here that stocks the delights of a Scottish chippie Gimme. I'm heading up the road tomorrow and on top of my to do list is a black pudding supper.

He's a lovely lovely man and he once gave us a free pie because we had ordered one fish between us and he must have thought we were paupers (not far off the truth).


Sorry to say I'm not too fond of his chips though (soggy) - maybe I've just been there at the wrong times.

Does this affect the chips then?

I thought the thread was entitled 'Friendly North Cross Road chip shop man' rather than 'Great chips on North Cross Road'. And call me controversial, but I don't always find a desire to spread global jewish conspiracy theories conducive to friendship. Particularly if you're jewish.

He does them extra crispy if you ask. Yes, lovely bloke.

I used to feel guilty for hardly ever buying any chips from there but yes, the friendly waves from the guys in Emily's were part of what I loved about living in East Dulwich.


And only now I discover that they will do the chips 'extra crispy' if only I'd asked :)

    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.
