Well numbers the choice is open to you, to say what's the matter there and then, or soon afterwards, directly to the managers of any of these places, so that they can run their shops better.


However the staff won't feel equally free to complain back & ask us to treat them in any different manner will they.

I appreciate that some customers are pretty awful and nothing that staff can do will EVER please them. This wasn't the case here, in fact, we were treated with disdain from the moment we turned up for the table we'd booked. Anyway.

So what seemed to be going on?

(Never attempted the restaurant in question.)

The Curry Club were at the Dulwich Tandoori a couple of months ago..

The Club alternates each month with different Venues. We generally get good treatment

where ever we go. But then we are a well behaved group that do not impact too much on other diners

even when there are 12 of us.


Although we had booked for 8 there was 12 of us. Dulwich Tandoori could not of done more for us.

Even removing wooden partitions and moving tables so we could all sit together.


The food was great, fast service even though no one was in a hurry. All our food arrived on time and hot.


We were all given 2 complimentary drinks at the end of our meal..


Think I can speak for all that were there that night.


DulwichFox.

I was with dulwich fox that night and support what he says


I also agree with Jeremy, that at the moment it's the best on the lane


I'm not saying people haven't had bad experiences there but it was first place I ate in dulwich 12 years ago, and am here again tonight and find it almost inconceivable. These guys have always been super helpful. So I am surprised

Agree with that. Without doubt good treatment.

Don't agree with that. Sorry.

ha! suffice to say, the dismal experience I'd had was with some members* of the venerable curry club in tow. And all three of us dining that evening were of the same opinion.



(*one fairly senior in ranking, not the giddy heights of Radiant Chief, but pretty high up all the same!) :))



edit: we were mostly aghast at the rude service. that the food wasn't very pleasant either is more of an aside.

The best curry argument is as old as the forum itself! We even had a vote once... and I tried the winning restaurant afterwards and thought it was awful. But for me, DT is the most reliable since the demise of the Pistachio Club, and I like the old school vibe.


People have different tastes. And possibly high staff turnover results in inconsistent food/experience.

And?

Why?


?It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what.?

Spot on, SCSB79. Do a search for 'offensive' and see all their names appear!

How can you be sure what Stephen Fry would think?

That's fascinating that you can read her mind.


Neither of you have actually explained WHY you find it offensive.

Er SCS I did say exactly why it is offensive in two posts on thread neither of which you have bothered to read obviously.


Otta, I have worked with Stephen Fry. He would absolutely not find the suggestion that indian restaurants need illegal immigrants for their underpants as the secret ingrediant to a korma recipe funny.

In the REAL Mr Benn series, he might well have gone to the fancy dress shop & then ended up as an Indian chef


Yeah, imagine that eh !

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1) If you are an electrician and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 2) If you are a Sound Engineer and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 3) If you are a journalist or have connections with the local and wider media (Print, on line, TV, Radio, please email: [email protected] 4) 'Every Little Helps' even just £1 will make a difference, please support the crowd funder: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/.../piehouse-workers-co-op...
