Cheers ("Where Everybody Knows Your Name")

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.

Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,

and they're always glad you came.

You wanna be where you can see,

our troubles are all the same

You wanna be where everybody knows

Your name.


You wanna go where people know,

people are all the same,

You wanna go where everybody knows

your name.


Yeah well perhaps not, but they're good guys (tu)

Myself and Freya had enormous scrummy Danish pastries there on Saturday morning.


The place was full of mature new mummy types insisting on Soya Milk Latte and various confections for their children which were manufactured in a nut free environment. I am not exaggerating at all - just for a change! Four out of five of them had diet related allergies! The one with the nut allergy decided to throw caution to the wind when she saw how super the pastries appeared - which is alarming, because (and I do know a little about this subject) anaphylactic shock is not something you can decide to just put up with because you fancy some cake!


The staff smiled on throughout the requests, even when one mother asked that the milk steaming appliance not be used for a half an hour as it was upsetting darling Hugo!


The lovely waiting staff desserve a medal.

It prompts me to wonder whether they were true allergies - which, as you mention, may be life-threatening - or the fashionable ailments that are "intolerances"... no doubt disgnosed by dangling a crystal over the kiddies' stomachs at one of the alternative health practices that SE22 suddenly seems to be riddled with.

Resurrecting this ole thread as Mrs Mac and I went there last night to check out the bistro menu. I don't want to come over all Living South about it ("dish after dish was just lovely.. etc) but we did have 4 dishes and they were all totally gorgeous. Nothing was overly fancy (the black pudding, lardon and spiced apple compote was the closest to fancy and was well lush) but everything was top notch.


And the Peroni was on, which made a nice change ;-)

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • 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.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
