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 🤣

Did you do something to be taken off his Christmas Card list - had you perhaps responded to a consultation with a response the council did not approve of? 😉

🤣🤣🤣

Not to my knowledge!

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."

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
