Don't forget (pretty decent) pizzas at the Actress too.


Of all the things we need more of, pizza is almost bottom of the list. A halfway decent Vietnamese place would do a roaring trade, ditto Japanese, Spanish, Mexican. A good Chinese/dim sum place would probably do well.


Also continually amazed that none of the curry house owners have the initiative to reinvent themselves with regional/"home cooking" type food, ditch the tikka massala and double the profits. There must be a practically endless supply of Indian people in London who know how to cook amazing food.

Pizzas should not be made of sourdough either in my opinion, but then I prefer the thin crust Italian wood-fired classics rather than the American versions that dominate here.

And charge a bit more for them.

Are you sure about that? I thought that sourdough was the traditional Naples style.

Neopolitan pizzas are protected under EU rules similar to french cheeses/wines as to ingredients and process. They do use a particular yeast but I've never seen them referred to as sourdough (a later American term?) and fermentation of the yeast bacteria (the main distinction with sourdough) does not appear to be particularly relevant to the process.


I could be wrong though and due to the taste imparted by the yeast it could fall under a loose description of sourdough

DC is spot on here IMO. I'm not someone that enjoys eating out in restraunts or pubs, I'm just not very foody, but sometimes you need something to keep the engine running (and soak up the booze), and pizza is ideal in those circumstances, for all the reasons DC gives, and the additional bonus that you can share one with a mate and split the cost.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
