Yes, I remember there was something Mexican there. There was a restaurant there in the evening for a while - I think it was that - it certainly had a different menu to Johnnies. It probably wasn't run by the same people and it didn't seem to have any customers whenever I passed by, so I wasn't surprised it didn't survive.

There was a Cafe El Paso at #127 for years, which seems to have closed and made a temporary reappearance at #135

We like Johnnie's and will continue to support them. The kids like the sandwiches and the dog gets a sausage - everyone's happy


If you don't like something that one of our local businesses is doing, you can speak to them.

For example - you think the menu has changed for the worst/ didn't enjoy your meal/ etc

I'm sure any business would prefer feedback.

Hubby has been to Johnnies several times in the last 4 weeks on different days of the week, He checked whether did the 50% offer Mon - Weds and was informed that they were not in scheme. Talking with one of the servers he found that staff must have been on zero hours as nobody was furloughed.


Kinsella's opposite Johnnies is in the scheme.

I could well imagine that's how the scheme works with no confirmation or letter (or email) but just because you are registered are you obliged to take part

Cafes and restaurants don't have to apply the scheme. I can easily imagine they didn't know how to claim or didn't want to sign up for a scheme that involves a bunch of new paperwork and accounting and a promise by this totally inept government to get some money back in the future. They gave OP half his money back to get him to piss off. It doesn't show that they're engaged in some orchestrated scam to fiddle the tax man out of ?2.43 on OP's beans on toast. The OP is defamatory.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
