I can't agree that take-outs shouldn't be responsible for the litter on surrouding streets. It's not a chav thing, I think it applies equally to Seacow and SlippyChicken, as it does to KebabSlop. It should also apply to Wrigley's and Fags-u-like for sponsorship of street cleaners.


Clearing up after the punters is a cost-of-doing-business for restaurateurs, and if they choose to use the high street as their dining-area they don't get to duck the clear-up costs.


It would take no more than an hour to cover the roads within 400 yards and pick up the mess; at whatever today's min wage is that's not exactly breaking the bank. Get the cleaner in an hour earlier.

What I can't figure out is why some of the letters in Lick'n chick'n are missing and some aren't. I sat there across the road waiting for my bus trying to figure it out.


I also was looking at the sign wondering about the name. I mean is it me or is there something vaguely R rated about the name?


Scylla

I wondered if they just got it wrong and meant it to be " lickin' " instead of " lick'n " which is frankly preposterous, but they didn't know how to spell it


it does however inspire me to say it out loud in an equally preposterous voice every time I walk past


does Charybdis lurk in Kebab and Wine would you say, or perhaps if you were navigating the tricky line between the dangers of chavdom (Lick'n Chick'n) and clamphamdom, she may be found in the White Stuff. Have I stretched this analogy too far?

    • Post much better this Xmas.  Sue posted about whether they send Xmas cards; how good the post is,  is relevant.  Think I will continue to stay off Instagram!
    • These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January. 
    • Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.
    • Why have I got a feeling there was also a connection with the beehive in Brixton on that road next to the gym
