Is this the sign that the gentrification of ED is finally complete ?

He's busy, as he's just opened a cat acupuncture centre.


Cats are returned to their owners with hot pokers sticking out of their paws.

Next you'll be telling us there's no Father Christmas!..

Scientist refutes claim that letting your cat sleep in a magnetic bed has side effects...

I'd place good money to suggest the hot poker would not sticking out of their paws, but more likely sticking out of somewhere else.

DM I remember some great posts from you back in the day. How time has flown! Are you satisfied with the level of gentrification that's taken place locally?


JL I have taken advantage of this freebie and I can tell you now I was more concerned with the idea of pushing a trolley around filled with goods whilst juggling a hot drink than I was about the standard of people shopping in store.


Louisa.

Louisa darling, I will not admit to doing my own supermarket shopping on a public forum, otherwise how am I to showcase my staff? The next thing you know I would be expected to collect my own children from school and blow dry my own hair... Actually, I may rethink staff access to my credit cards for the New Year, in case they lose the run of themselves, this last year has been a complete shocker (dabs tear from eye).


I feel that Waitrose should provide cup holders on their trolleys, don't you? The aupair is costing me a fortune in fresh coffee and if she can get her hit for free at the super marche, all the better I say! When will this damn recession ever end (pokes aupair on the head with keys from Audi Q7).


Sweet North Londoner! I have been spending quite a lot if time reflecting over the last year, re-evaluating my relationships. Where is a girl to look for role models? The behaviour of Paul Hollywood has totally destroyed the joy if bread baking for me (OK, vicariously via my house keeper) - what a cad (blows nose loudly), that man deserves a close encounter with my Kitchen Aid dough hook! And now that the scales have fallen from my eyes and I have finally seen Nigella in her true light - KFC? OHMYGOD! I have been so naive (wails and shakes fist at sky)!


When I think of the money I have spent on Manuka honey, kaffir lime leaves and speciality Italian 00 flour...


No doubt Jah Lush will uncover some connection between Iceland's chicken Tikka lasagne and Kate Middleton and then I shall require a month in The Priory!


If feel so at home on Lordship lane now, I am quite simply, no longer that unusual. Am I? 😱

    • There were three vans marked “External Cleaning Contractors” (or words to that effect) outside the Grove Tavern this morning, with blokes who seemed to be looking the place over. Anyone know if it’s going to be scrubbed up? Would this be an end of lease requirement, to hand it back without graffiti and fly posting?
    • the companies issue a phone click on qr code to give you guide price - however, they seem to work more on an algorithim of what works for them, so after a few books, they suddenly go 'no' until they get one they absolutely want - they buy for pence - so you need a lot of books, then they go through them and subjectively tell you the ones which are not up to scratch, but having bought also from the same company, they do not necessarily send out 'good' stock - you must pack them, they give the labels and then they collect.  I think there is room for a more honest competitor, but I am sure it is a difficult business, built on inventory and algorithims rather than buying 'books'.  Would be interested in hearing in more detail about the venture.
    • ecde, what do you mean by outdoor water?   An outside tap?  If so, where's it being fed from?  Presumably from somewhere within the building; maybe somewhere you don't have control of or access to?   Is it meant to be for drinking?
