*Wanders into QM wearing Greek fishermans garb - cut off cotton breechesi.e. a deep burnished tan and a wicked glint in the eye*


*Ah, Dulwichmums, let me takes you for a long night time trawl in my very snug fishing smack. My tackles are in need of oiling before a long night of sweaty toil beneath the stars, perhaps you could ..... help*

Dear Sweet Michael,


Thank God you are back, but you must be drunk! What is the QM, and what is a fishing smack? I am afraid that I have no interest in your tackles, but give me a hug dear heart, and did you bring me anything from the discount/duty free shop thingy? I could murder an enormous Toblerone!

*This would explain why DM is feeling unwell*


*Opens the french windows wide, breathing in the glorious fresh air from Goose Green*


*There seems to be the sound of mayhem and rioting, armed police and helicopters. Just another Monday morning at Goose Green Primary, all is well in the world*

    • 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
    • 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
