I think so. But that's no reason to be suspicious of her motives. It's not as if people can't see the error of previous ways and change direction in response to circumstance, justified criticism, conscience, deity or parents. Just look at Jeffrey Archer, Peter Mandelson or David Icke, all of whom have profitably recovered from earlier misunderstandings and are now back in their rightful positions as leaders of the free world, albeit modestly from behind the scenes.


There comes a time in every person's life when the realisation dawns that the romantic novel is indeed a work of fiction, that the glittering galaxy of future possibilities has imperceptibly coalesced into the jittery blur of an evening star and that the cheerful balloon of hope has gradually turned from a beribboned beacon of optimism into a limp and flaccid memory of what might have been. And that's the time that we choose to dress in beige and learn to love a cat.


It is good to see that Woodrot is taking something of a stand. Although tertiary education is little more than a futile kick against the dictates of fortune, especially for mature students who, if we're honest, have little chance in the internship market, what with the lack of working-age uncles and the fragrant attributes of their juvenile competitors, it is something to do, and that's of considerable value to the purposeless. But, ultimately, it will only stave off the inevitable for a short while, and as one enters one's jam-making years and start to takes an autumnal interest in watercolours, you need all the support you can get from friends or, in this case, randomly anonymous strangers who might, at least, pretend to take an interest.


So yes, I have no reason to believe this isn't a reformed Woodrot and deserving of, if not exactly sympathy, at least indulgence. It's not as if we've anything better to do.

    • Now a good curry…yummy… beats slaving over a hot stove, endless potatoes for roasties plus carrots and parsnip peeling..  Christmas pudding made with cream or brandy sauce. when one things about it, obscene the amount of food one consumes on the big day… and then the washing up…. Used to cook for 10 so do know what I am talking about…grant you, nice to have company and friendship but now reached the age when I am quite happy having a curry, wandering around in my PH’s all day and eating, watching, doing what I want when I want.. Think actually that Gail’s staff can’t say no not working… sacked I would think but equally catering for people who might be in Dulwich for the holidays and visiting and in an air b n b..  Put of interest, is this the only Gail’s opening? Or are they all opening? Plenty of other places open on the day… sure cafes in city are open…And of course, always MacDonalds..!!!  
    • When I managed a large staff group, and workers were needed for Christmas day, there was always a queue of people wanting a shift, for many reasons.  Where is the problem-why is it shameful?
    • 🎄Are you flying solo for Xmas?   🎄Let’s be honest-it can be weird. But maybe it’s also a chance to just …chill.   🎄How are you planning to treat yourself and make the day feel good?   🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅All ideas welcome.    ✌️Drop yours below. 🎄🎄🎄
    • Until the licencing laws changed in the late eighties, pubs were only allowed to open Sunday hours on Christmas Day, so 12 'til 2, and the majority didn't open in the evening unless it was for a 'private party'. But that's another story. The landlord of my old local used to let everyone double or treble up at last orders so that you could avoid having to watch the Queen's Speech with your Nans at three o'clock. Dulwich Tandoori is open Christmas Day for those who don't fancy Gail's.  'Festive Flavours', apparently.
