Threads "nasty and insulting"?? This may be true of the occasional comment but even in this thread the positive and supportive posts for the Threshers' staff have far outnumbered the couple of unpleasant ones. And I think you can see this repeated in other threads about various pubs and shops etc....Most posters go out of their way to praise bar staff and shopkeepers etc even when severely criticising the place they work in/for. And they seem to aim for objectivity and constructive criticism I think...


There have been a couple of cases where certain shopkeepers have been given a lot of flak....but these are the exception not the rule and there's usually been unusual circumstances provoking these.


Of course if Jasmine's neighbours work for Foxton's and/or support Manchester United then her post makes perfect sense...:))

DPF rather proving Jasmine's point there I think? ;-)


Mind you, it is rather ironic Jasmine that you'd taint the 90% of positive comments because of the 10% of unpleasant ones. It's rather like you're committing the very crime you're accusing others of?


I like the ladies in Threshers very much. They had a nice line in Nobilo and Villa Maria Sauvignon Blancs plus a couple of mainstream central Italian reds like Montepulciano that you couldn't get elsewhere on LL.


I never asked them to help me out, but they were charming and welcoming without being asked and that was good enough for me.


(They did tip off home early occasionally which was a bit frustrating.)

Jasmine - I agree that a couple of comments on the thread were a tad unkind, however this is a forum that 'tells it as it is' - not sanitised and (seldom) censored. This means that a variety of points of view will be put forward, some of which you may not agree with. I would honestly rather it was like that than we all roundly praise everywhere and everyone even if praise is not due.
Telling it like it is should not involve personal insults. If you think a shop is rubbish, fine. If you think a staff member is rude, fine. However, coming on here and making nasty comments about people who have always been lovely is not fine. I do however agree that the majority of posts on this thread are actually very nice about the staff. Perhaps someone should highlight the supportive comments to them.

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
