If I had to choose two, I?d go for fat and middle class. You can get over being fat, and who cares about being middle class 😃

I think we should be mindful not to be too harsh on TS. He may have melted somewhere, cringing or mock dry heaving even, which seems prevalent amongst a certain group of people.


Or maybe just binging on more Jay Rayner reviews, or even cooking his restaurant at home kit, which is nice to do on a Saturday. Who knows, maybe he?s got Steven Taylor round for a slap up meal.


Anything is possible.

More delectable prose from Jay today to satisfy my base middle-class instincts. While reading this I've found that I've managed to slip an entire roast chicken in the front of my trousers, without even realising it....

I suppose that's all one can expect from a typical EDF male lounge lizard. It's not within spitting distance of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voina#How_to_Snatch_a_Chicken.

We're pretty tight. I read his article each Sunday. And I always comment. One time he even replied.



[Okay, I think I've milked this joke enough. I'll stop now;)]

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
