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.

    • Yes it's a witch hunt, but that's what the press does. Optics are almost more important than policy these days. If the public has even a whiff that a government isn't trustworthy, or is chaotic, that feeling lingers like a rotten smell.  It's another comms catastrophe for Labour - every time there's a story they rush out a knee-jerk denial, without verifying the facts. They did it with Raynor and it was a shit-show. That's what Labour keeps getting wrong. Reeves should have been gagged and told by someone with an ounce of sense to first check her emails. 
    • And at £945 per selective license. Not a bad earner for the council! 
    • For a while there was an unexpected glitch in planning laws that meant phone box operators (which is obviously mostly BT, but there were others) didn't need council permission to replace call boxes with small electronic billboards, so long as you could make calls from the billboard. I *think* the one on the corner of Croxted Rd and Park Hall Rd is an example of that. So the operators weren't always in a rush to remove the call boxes even when they didn't make any money on calls. I don't know if it still works like this. https://www.local.gov.uk/about/news/lga-call-crackdown-trojan-telephone-boxes-amid-900-cent-rise-some-areas
