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?

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
