Many thanks People.


As a child having a Birthday only 6 days after Christmas and at the end of the actual year was a pain, I mean, it was a PROPER REAL WHOLE YEAR to the next one with nothing in-between.


The "this is a big present for Xmas AND your birthday" thing was horrible and mean. Even as a small child I wanted to know why I couldnt have had small presents on both days like everybody else did.


In my mid-40s (literally now) I still get far too much excitement from opening presents, even the office secret Santa ones, which I know will be chocolate genitals or similar.


Of course a NYE Birthday now means that I always have a party to go to, although seldom with jelly and ice-cream.


Anyway, to prepare for lunch and then Party!

    • Does anyone know what local pubs/restaurants will be open this year for Xmas serving lunch? 
    • That’s interesting, Dulwich Dweller; my 70 yr old neighbour told me 2 weeks ago that he’d left work early to go and book in person (being uncomfortable with all the online & app stuff) and was explicitly told that he needed to go away and book online. He’s not the sort of person to be insistent and, like a lot of older people, a bit embarrassed at his lack of digital ability, so he left without the appointment . This is my point about inconsistency, since his experience was quite different from yours. I’m beginning think that it rather depends on who, at Reception, you speak to on day…
    • Wow, never had a disappointing meal there since they opened.. guess like every establishment, depends on the chef.. All for allowing an off day - good of you to post.. much better than chains - had awful service at Gail’s for eg..be it cake and tea or a meal.. They are so nice and accommodating..       
    • "I tried Viet Flavour and was disappointed.  Their summer rolls especially were not at all good, stodgy and flavourless.  Pho-OK.  I'm hoping it will get better " Back in June I posted as above.  I am glad to report that either the first time I went the restaurant was having an off day, or they have upped their game.  I ordered the same things.  The summer roll was exactly as it should be, and had a lovely dipping sauce. The Pho was delicious.  My brother who was with me wanted to give it 10/10 but I always think you should leave room for improvement so gave it 9/10.  Staff were lovely.  I am so glad because I love Vietnamese food and now think I have a very good one just round the corner.
