Would everyone just relax :) I don't feel picked on at all, I was finding it all very amusing, and am not even slightly slighted, but thanks to everyone for jumping to my rescue. I have a big enough gob on me to deal with any cheeky sods that come my way - but yeh it was all in good humour! You know, I've lived in ED for four years, I check the forum regularly, and post when I feel challenged to do so. So, not the ED/forum virgin you may think. The blinking orange/lemonade thread was not posted so seriously - call it a bit of social observance that's all.

I didn't take them seriously - we are still talking about the price of a drink aren't we?! I'm just saying (again) that I personally would feel a bit p'd off with those comments.


Confused?? lay off the booze and get yourself down to the pub and order a ?3.20 orange and lemonade!

to be honest, i find it more value for money going to leicester square!


funny enough, i was in the grosvenor casino last saturday night, the food was definately cheaper & nicer than east dulwich tastes & prices! maybe not much cheaper, but if im gonna pay crazy prices i'd rather go somewhere in the city!;-)


the drinks were reasonably priced too....


and no im not a gambler, i just accompany them!:))

I try and have blackcurrent and soda instead of coke if I'm going for soft drinks, and have been charged everything from 20p to ?2.50 depending on where I am, have even had barmen try and get me to have a coke instead as its the same price and they've been embarrassed to charge me so much - slightly missing the point that I didn't want a coke!
Just interjecting here but got charged ?2.50 for a lime and soda in the Vale a couple of weeks ago. Now that is fooking disgusting!!


Its a vicious circle, I can't afford not to drink anymore.


For the record, I was joking earlier on the thread...

likewise


it has gotten a bit silly, hasn't it. particularly painful to be charged ?3 for a glass of OJ which you see come out of a carton from a supermarket, so you know it's no more than a quid a litre... the cheap, sociable option no longer seems to exist. I have been out a few times and thought i might switch to the softies after a pint or 3, but then see the price of the softies and think "sod it, for that much i might as well have another pint". Tight-fisted perhaps, but the Great British binge-drinker is hardly discouraged...

?3.20 for OJ and lemonade in the EDT? ?2.50 for lime and soda in the Vale? This outright profiteering.

Take, for example the Ivy House, where it is only ?2.20 and 40p respectively. The accoustics make conversation possible as well. Nuff said.

    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
