No wonder they were so bad-tempered when I went in there a couple of weeks ago!


But actually, despite my horrendous experience of being frog-marched out during a lampshades contretemps, I do sympathise. I have fond memories of meeting friends in there for many a lovely brunch when they used to serve food. Maybe they shouldn't have given it up?

I am sorry to have doubted you. We just walked down our road to see what was going on. The writing is on the "window" - there is a clothes sale tomorrow and a number of other dates and then that will be it. The sign thanks people for 15 years of service and happy memories.


When I moved to Northcross Road there was just Blue Mountain and Grace and Favour - this is a very sad day for local business.


However, there was chink of light under the blinds at Blue Mountain and I am delighted to say that evidence of a refurbishment is very present - lots of ladders, tools etc etc. Can't wait to see the new place - lots of luck to Mel and the team.

Never worked as a cafe because the small space Rose had was clogged with mums and babies not eating. That is why she closed the food part. It is a lovely shop, but she doesn't live in London anymore so having it must be a hassle.

Fi, who went on to work at the original Jack's, used to be a chef/cook there. The food was sublime.

Alot of independent businesses (and I am not being negative here)in East Dulwich close and re-open under new names. For example, The Black Cherry on Lordship Lane closed and re-opened as The Draft.Grace & Favour is in a prime spot on North Cross Road. Yes, it sad to see the store close and Rose is a lovely woman and I wish her the best. I'd give it three weeks if that until Grace & Favour is re-opened under a new name or business.

    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.        
    • Now as an ex patient my impression was that their is a general lack of accountability  or responsibility by the staff at FHRGP and heaven forbid you should disagree with them, "not allowed". They want total control with no scrutiny. How that practice survives, I really don't know.  That being said, two or three of the staff are excellent. 
    • Why would they hide malumbu? I don’t have an attitude, but their reception staff do. I still smiled and thanked . Go and experience it. Sue , because that’s how it works . I wasn’t there for myself, someone else. Venting on here helps me, however I’m under no obligation to make any sense to you. You sound deluded about staff sitting around  doing job related things , have you had your Covid jabs?
