AM do you never get public transport anywhere? That's when I do most of my reading, on the way to and from work.


And you seem to have watched most of the world cup. That's a lot of time that you could have chosen to read in. Not saying you SHOULD have, that's up to you, but I don't like people saying they have no time. We all have 24 hours in a day, it's our choice how we use it.

Yeah for the chimney starter. Wood chips in a smoking box ?


I'm having a great deal of joy from my new Prakti charcoal burner

Having your beard trimmed by the barber, is a thing of joy. If you haven't tried this, then grow one and go see


Mind you when someone's waiting behind you and you've had your hair cut. Then gone on for the beard trim you can see the resigned look of "f*ck really, how long does all this hair and beard sh*t take"

Can't say I'll ever experience that joy, as my beard growing ability is probably best described as "pathetic", but when I was travelling last year I got my hair cut in Vietnam at a stall set up in a roadside market area. Not being up to speed with the price of a haircut I agreed a price (a whole US$2) that was, apparently, a little generous. So, the fellow threw in a full shave, old fashioned style with a cut-throat razor - my first one. I felt like a right lord of the manor.


Well, if you ignore all the cars and motorbikes tootling past a few metres away.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
