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.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
