Today I was thinking about when food rationing ended in 1954 and wondering whether the days will return when we have to register with an East Dulwich grocer to obtain food.


I had a look at the logistics for our East Dulwich food supply chain and I didn't like what I found. JiT is very dangerous.


How many days food supply do you have in your larder for your family?

Last time I was in thigh boots Ms B Was fishing in a scottish loch in the Shetlands.

It was early August, the rain was horizontal and the wind was blowing hard enough to lift the toupee off a bald midget standing in a crater.

I caught nothing but a chill, and I have never missed wearing those thigh boots.

I'm with you there MW74 nothing like embarassing one's offspring, which I keep telling mine that's what the parents role in life is, just like our parent's toe curling attempts to slaughter us, especially in front of a gaggle of our best friends.


What's the point of having kids if you don't give them grief to the max.

What kind of parent could I be classed as, if I didn't show them how excrutiating life can be as a young raw adult.

It is excellent preparation for youngsters to learn how to shoulder the burden of lifes all engulfing mantel of many miseries.

    • 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.
    • 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!
