Yeah. It's a bit boring now the horse has bolted.

Louisa, you've made the same joke in 2 consecutive posts. It's not like you to bang your drum ad nauseum...


Anyway, despite the awful food served up at Manzes, at least you'll be in good company - Jim Davidson is a regular!

Horsebox - nice to see you still jumping on the bandwagon for a pop at Louisa. Quick you'd better run though, the collie is cornering the flock :)


StraferJack formerly SeanMacGabhann - the fact you continue to josh with me on here, despite claiming to have "gone through the is she/isn't she trolling" thing, is equally as flattering today as it was back in 2007. You even track down my posts now just so you can join in.


I make observations on here as everyone else does, I don't think that is trolling, but I can appreciate and understand why certain people on here who disagree with me take that route, it's an easy way out to dismiss someone as a troll. Even after six years. It's also interesting that other rubbish troll posts on here are allowed the slip under the SJ magnifying glass. I clearly do rattle your cage!

Tbh I'd rather set up a genuine organic horse meat burger stall. I reckon I could outdo the other street food vans within days.

Nothing wrong with a horse burger. Horse tastes alright IMO.

As for M Manze - nobody in their right mind would eat jellied eels, but I do love pie and mash. So far we have conflicting reports from Louisa and Titch Juicy. Anybody else have any opinion (not that qualifies as street food, of course).

Pie and Mash. Been there. What is there to say? It's exactly what you expect. A cheap pie. A pile a mash. Parsley sauce - I mean, Jesus. PARSLEY SAUCE.


Why are these shops dwindling over the years?


The bottom line is that people have found something (all kinds of somethings) better to eat - and they've voted with their feet.

I love Manzes. When my daughter comes home from Exeter we indulge ourselves with pie and mash to celebrate my family's working class roots. Her rather posh boyfriend joined us last time and the lovely ladies were cooing all over him and advising him what to eat. One said "ain't he loverly, he's like royalty". I love a commoner me!

Ah but *Bob*


You have to have a burnt top with double mash, doused in spicy vinegar at Arments in Camberwell.


That's the one to go for


Mind you the HEARTBURN from the liquor/pastry is something to behold


Gives you a gut full of working class bile to work off.


Even I turn a little 'salt of the 'erf' after.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
