Hi,


I must admit that I have never been in the TCC. From outside it does not appeal to me. Perhaps we will try it one day. We used to go to Mr. Lui's on Lordship Lane but recently have been advised that they do not have food warmers! You order a banquet and expect the food to be kept warm. We have been unhappy on the last three occasions, on the last visit I had a meal accidentally poured down my back. I felt so sorry for the young girl serving.


On the subject of food... We like to go out on a Sunday night for a indian buffet, all restaurants in Lordship Lane advertise 21 items of food for this buffet meal, The Pistachio restaurant is the worst so far only making available to you 14 items, the best is the Surma who had 22 items and then brought to me Spinach and fresh prawns pan fried completely free.


Good Eh.


Regards,


Libra Carr.

Can I request that adults who post, stop using the word 'tummy', it's silly, not to say slightly creepy.


I don't usually explain why I edit, but I thought on reflection my original post could be construed as being at the very least mean-spirited, if not downright offensive.

Eh? Have I missed something here?


Has anyone else spotted the use of the word "tummy"?

Twice on this page. Two times too many as far as I'm concerned.

Colley-wobbles. Thanks for that one Michael. Another phrase that has no place in the adult lexicon.

I don't know what I'd do without you good people sometimes.

Not to mention 'mummy'

Yes, yes, yes, definitely no and you must be joking.


Crummy? There's no such word. Crumby though is perfectly acceptable.


You're welcome.

Hmm.


Merriam-Webster has 'crumby' as a variant on the usual spelling, and also gives the etymology as ME 'crumme' so think I will stick with crummy.


As for the now-deleted scrummy and yummy I fear their absence may have an injurious effect on the many amateur restaurant reviewers of ED. But thus it is written, and so shall it be.


Thank you, HonaloochieB, Deus Ex Machina.

You're welcome Moos. My own humble suggestions to replace the words we've decided, with good reason, to get rid of are 'endroolable' and 'lunchy'. Go on, give them a try.


Deus Ex Machina, eh? Terribly flaterring but I'm barely Greek and for the most part not a tragedy.


Love and best wishes.

HonaloochieB, I may have to remove your winged sandals - endroolable? And imagine the confusion were someone to find his lunch insufficiently lunchy. God's bodkin, have you thought this through?


Were it not for your long and credible history of gravely informed statesmanlike pronouncements on this Forum I'd suspect you were jesting, and at our expense too.

I know. What's he like?

See, now you've me quoting Ainsley Harrison.

Are there no shallows to which I will not stoop?

Honestly, I'm just a fool for your loving and no mistake.

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
