That's about as annoying as Subway caving in to calls for ham to be withdrawn from certain stores, if you don't like it, don't go in there. FFS

This always makes me think of a former colleague who would have fisherman's pie at least once a week and heat it in the microwave in the office. She was really lovely, but I hated her for that alone! (I don't do fish and the smell makes me feel sick)

Forget HR. He should have been reporting you to your GP.

I didn't either ruffers! Thought back in the 80s people actually did make time for lunch or going down the pub. The way it should be before hot desk call centre hell type offices came into fashion where no-one dared leave their desk.


edit: suffers?!

Yes think Jeremy hit the nail on the head, fish nuked in microwave. Never a good thing in a communal kitchen.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
