I went to Le Chardon with my partner, we booked a table beforehand. they seated us right next to the exit for the toilet and near the serving area. We asked for another table and they didn't seem bothered to help us out. Waiting staff were apologetically reaching behind us for cutlery and my partner had to wear his jumper through the entire meal because of the draft. When the bill had they added items to our bill we hadn't eaten and overcharged us for wine. We decided that a ?8 'optional' tip was not appropriate given the quality of the experience, so when we politely said we did not want to pay the 'optional' service we got looked at as if we were aliens and it took another 20 mins to get the new bill - with the service still added on it! We didn't pay the service in the end. To top the experience the food wasn't very tasty and both me and my partner then got a violent case of food poisoning despite eating very different meals. Coming from a waitressing family I cannot believe the poor quality of restaurants these days just because they are located in east dulwich. I do highly recommend the Lombok Thai in Herne Hill. Does anyone know of anywhere else decent to eat in east dulwich?

I've never had food poisoning from anywhere in the area, so maybe you were just unlucky, or maybe as both of you got it it was a coincidental stomach bug.


That's just reminded me that I went into Au Ciel on Sat. There was a guy serving who had a bit of twinkle in his eye and was friendly but an older woman who didn't and wasn't and who muttered in French without addressing me personally. Bit silly to assume speaking French around here means people won't understand you - half the Village spends its summers in Provence and its winters in Val d'Isere. I decided not to buy the thing I asked about but let myself down by having an unfortunate attack of the giggles on the way out.

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
