I was in John Lewis a while back, I had been dragged around Oxford street with a hangover all morning and the heating had turned the atmosphere in there Saharan. Upon the brink of death I dragged myself up to the canteen counter, all cracked lips and croaky voice, and rasped, ?May I please have a bottle of water??


?Certainly sir.? Said the young lady as she shooed away a circling vulture, ?That will be ?2.50 please.?

is it just me - but when you've paid ?4.30 for popcorn, I'm actually surprised that the bottle of water wasn't more expensive? about what, 200% mark up on the water, at least 1000% on the popcorn surely...

    • Crofton Park (borough of Lewisham) has a community notice board which as well as listing councillors is full of notices about local community activities of all sorts and for all ages. It is clean and tidy and only has one small fly poster (attached with one very small piece of tape, and easily removed - I didn't though). Crofton Park also has a lovely little community garden alongside the station, full of flowers, with lots of things of interest to kids,  and also obviously lovingly maintained. I don't know who the land belongs to - possibly the station, though access is via the adjoining road. If Lewisham council/Crofton Park residents can maintain a community notice board, why can't Southwark Council/East Dulwich residents?
