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.

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.

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
