Hmm. Was asking if there were any signs of Vegetarian Week, eg in cafes or shops in SE22-ish?


(Don't know if "Bacon Sarnie" is really complete response to idea of combatting world hunger, but there you go).


If it gets any worse I shall have to consider posting quotes from Paul McCartney.

commondreams - 10 reason's to go veggie site - represents an ill informed, unbalanced and biased point of view. It's polemic propoganda and things are not nearly as simple as the site makes out.


That said, I regulary eat veggie and might doff my veggie cap to ganapati to mark the week

I don't think there's any reliable study that shows an increased tendency to compose songs about frogs, or even don tartan or marry ladies who are too keen on having their photograph taken.

That's what I was hoping to find out. Hoped there might be somewhere, anywhere, local, that would make a bit of an imaginative effort re veggie food this week.

I heard the chucks are breaking out the champagne down at the battery farm.


Those fine folks from the Croydonvegetarians.co.uk know how to celebrate too. They're having a vege Beat the Banger competition in conjunction with the local buddhist group


Seems Croydon is the vegetarian epicentre for the week.

East Dulwich out-evented by Croydon. How shaming.


Any suggestions from actual local vegetarians, as to how we can redeem ourselves?

That?s a good idea SteveT. We could have a vegetarian themed curry club this month (I hope I will eventually make it again)


I?m not a vegetarian myself* but I do play one on tv.


*I tried once but they said I had to give up black pudding and sausages no matter how I remonstrated about neither of them actually being meat.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
