I've received 3 emails today, all said to be from the leader of Southwark council. The first two were identical, headed "Seasons Greetings from the Leader of Southwark Council" wishing 'me' - i.e. just a general greeting to residents, I assume - a Happy Christmas & New Year and exhorting me to shop local. 

The third one was "Dyer, Lovern would like to recall the message, "Seasons Grettings from the Leader of Southwark Council".

Nothing since - no explanation.          It's a first for me - to be wished a Happy Christmas and then the greeting is taken back, but I won't take it personally!

Presumably they recalled it because of the typo, but didn't do it properly, so the recall email  went out to everyone but the email they intended to recall didn't get recalled?

I haven't had any of them - I won't take that personally, either 🤣

Recalling email is a "Microsoft outlook-ism" that isn't supported by all internet email programs.   

"Dyer, Lovern" is presumably a secretary or comms/digital person allowed to write on leaders behalf. Either they peaked too soon, or there was a typo.

Add " isn't supported by all internet email programs."

      There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year.

      I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Sue · Posted

      As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
