Me -

After a long and exhausting night shift dashed to Lordship Lane.

Saw the queue already stretching back to the bus stop.

Struggled not to cry.

Saw number 40 approaching.

Guiltily, got on number 40 and went to Sainsburys.

Bought very nice looking meat and pushed all nagging ethical and environmental concerns firmly to one side.

Took bus home again past queue and spotted person who had been at the back now only half way up.


You -

Please, don't tell the very discerning forumite coming to lunch.....

Too late I think they may well already know ....

I think everyone knows that quids - and that has never bothered me. I know if I want the organic chicken or beef I can ask for it there but I never do - but to answer Annasfields question - it's not Billy Rose produce in particular.. it's the quality and more importantly the range of most of the meat in most butchers that makes the difference


Buy your joint of choice from a supermarket and from any decent butchers. Cook the same. Taste. If you can't tell the difference in most cases then summat is wrong


Listening to London radio this morning, most parts of London are reporting similar queues outside butchers - it's not just an ED thing. Ditto Billingsgate market as well. And it's no big deal really


Caveat: if anyone is good enough to cook for me I'm hardly going to complain if they haven't the time to queue ;-)

Don't listen Anna, I have never forgiven him for the one time he ate at mine during a film night, when all but ONE thing seved up was made an/or cooked from scratch by either myself or Mrs Keef, including the bread, the humous, the tzatziki the garnish on the lamb steaks etc etc... What did Sean do... He asked "So, did you make this Piri Piri sauce yourself?

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
