Police? Sounds more than you make out if they have the Police there.


Either way, nothing to do with this Govt. The last one, perhaps..........

If police were there It could well have been that they were selling counterfeit goods and that was why they were being loaded into a van.

I've never been in there so I'm just guessing.

Its always sad though to lose a local business however in this case I honestly can't say I ever felt inclined to walk down the road and pop in.

In case riceboy wasnt being ironic


well - 1. Real Wages down due to freezes.

2. Insecurity of employment increased - people spend less if they feel insecure.

3. More people in part time jobs who want full time jobs. Lower wages

4. permitting zero hour contracts. Again insecurity

5. Not to mention the failure to get to grips with the planning issues around town centres.

6. No increased regulation of banks.

7. failure to regulate energy prices


thats for starters.

I love to have a dig at this gov, but you can't blame them for that one, it's been going on for ages. At least it's come to light recently.

They recently reviewed and decided not to ban them . So no I think I am right!

But bad banks have been unregulated for a long time and its not the first time price rises have outstripped wages but you let those go. And the Planning stuff they aren't the first gov to fail to deal. So if you agree that zero hours contracts cant be blamed on this government - who after all are In charge and do have the power to change then you cant blame anything on them.

That's not true. May not have been effective enough in some areas but there was a lot of it about.

and, deeply unpopulist as it may be, people who actually think about these things rather than what's in their pocket right now and the particular bandwagon of the day, realise that a state imposed price freeze on energy bills will be an absolute disaster for the long term energy supply(in terms of investment and creating fit for purpose energy for the 21st century) but hey, everyone (without a brain or with a political agenda) loves it....

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. It was the only place within walking distance  locally which had availability that day, apart from the Plough (which ironically we wanted to avoid after previous bad experiences with the food  there). We did complain at the time, and were given a free bottle of wine (we don't often drink wine and were having beer with the meal) but we did not want to make a huge fuss and spoil other people's day as well.  Our detailed complaints in an email  were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
