Yeah, and no one wants golfers hanging around.

This is the thing, right, I'd say a good two thirds of the people here consider themselves to be middle class

(am not one of them and proud of it!) and most of them hate the idea/existence of it :)) which should give you some indication towards the responses so far. As if all the pubs around here haven't been ruined enough as it is!


I hear the CPT isn't too bad.

As you can see, we all make a special effort for a new chap. Welcome aboard, and some sort of ol' rot.

Next time yer in The Lodge, give that saucy filly Maisie a sound slap on her rump, and tell 'er to give you a double of what y' fancy on my slate.

Say the Major sent ya.

The Lodge may be a club in Notting Hill, but surely its Masonic implications are far more sinister? I think we're going to see the dashing chaps around town of ED going around trousered with their trouser legs rolled up.


Serge_A_Storms, welcome to the Forum - as you can see, it's a friendly place! You've just stumbled across two particularly typical characteristics of regular posters - the irresistable urge to be irreverent, and a deep suspicion of new things. Being proud of not being middle class is also very typical of the EDF, although mathematically suspicious, as SKS observed.


When the Lodge closes in 2014 because of the "October 2013 Did They Or Didn't They Bar Manager And Cook Scandal" we'll all be moaning like mad that we loved it and why did it have to go. It's just far, far too new right now to be any good.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
