One christmas, I pressed my cold, snotty nose up against the steamed up windows of Pauls on Pall Mall and gazed upon the sleek well fed clientle enjoying its succulent offerings. a short omnibus ride later, I was enjoying tepid eels and mash in SE15. I know where I would sooner eat.

Now ease up StraferJ, I reckon Dd is just having a bit of an off day is all.


Over 60% of his/her posts show a gift for trenchant observation concerning the local scene and pinpoint satire about some building with old stuff in it.


I reckon Dd's gotten all hyperbolic 'cause of too much coffee and will appreciate the irony of the caffine (sic) theme park notion when the jitters subside.

Right with you Woodie, in betwixt the two, and it falls twixt 'em is Rock Steady Eddies Camberwell caff, that'd be the spot.


Though I've not been there for a two-stretch or thereabouts (The reason? I recall a cold wintry interlude, a faulty door which allowed gusty ingress and my Dobie Gray-like propensity for drifting away). However I'll renew my acquaintance with Sol et al and let you know if the double sausage, double egg and chips is still as plentiful and qualitous as I was accustomed to, the tea as teeth-coating tanniny as before and the bottled Fanta the few degrees above room temperature it needs to be to accompany the scran while the builders' cools a little.


If not tomorrow then Friday.


Stand on me.

Paul on Pall Mall - there isn't one is there? I work on Pall Mall.

    • I struggled with the parakeets literally decimating the bird feeders within an hour.  I tried squirrel proof ones to see if they helped, but they jammed their claws in the mechanism to stop it closing.  Then the pigeons managed to do the same.  I spent a long time researching the best ideas and came across something on Pinterest.  Someone had used a metal dog cage and attached it to a wooden platform.  So that's what I did!  Once set up, you just hang the feeders inside.  Large birds like pigeons and parakeets cannot get inside.  I get all the small birds, plus starlings.  Not many thrushes or blackbirds around, so have no idea if they could get in.  The squirrels do!  It's amazing watching them slide through narrow gaps.  I also covered the roof of the cage with a piece of plastic to keep the rain off, plus I am just about to replace the cage plastic base with something more mesh like.  It can get a bit gooey after a while, so with mesh, all the dropped seed from the messy goldfinches, will go on to the ground where the pigeons can clear up.  I even added a birdcam.  
    • Yep, of course I do - did you not read the bit from the survey about the noise having a negative impact on foraging bats? And like @Angelina I'm aware it affects other people, and if no one complains then it gives them an argument that's it's all ok.  The tree in question was a cherry that everyone loves, didn't need to be touched, and the council admitted was a mistake and shouldn't have happened.  The council and Gala use the 'local' narrative as a benefit, without any figures to back it up. It is used as an argument for the event to go ahead, when there's no basis of fact. The attendees are clearly not local as they've proved they don't give a **** about the area. The council do tell us where the money is spent - 100% on running the Events dept, and a myriad of unlisted free events. They just don't tell us how much, so that we can make an informed decision on whether the gain is with the pain.  Sorry, what was your point again?
    • Leon came this evening and did a small job.  He was able to fit me, which I’m grateful for.  He arrived when he said he would. Very professional & friendly guy, offered great advice and very reasonable prices.  Highly recommend Leon! 👍  
    • Thanks, that's quite big, isn't it?
