I was in the Thai Corner Cafe a few weeks ago and noticed that they charge 50p for a glass of tap water, understand that they have a right to charge but 50p is bit steep.


I think any restaurants that charge for tap water should donate it to water charities like they do at Banners in Crouch End.


Think it's gone downhill as well, any other decent local Thai restaurants other than Sema on LL?

Did you buy a glass while you were in there? Or did you you just notice it?

A few weeks ago? Took a little while to get riled up about it, perhaps? It happens.

Banners, eh? Crouch End is it?

I had an unfortunate experience in Crouch End, once.

And coincidentally the drink that was thrown in my face may have contained some tap water.

Uncanny.

I like Lombok in Herne Hill. Food is on the spicy side and it's a bit more expensive than TCC, but they have some unusual (I'm told authentic) dishes like fish and banana curry which sounds a bit odd but really worked.

Good point Loz, there were several 'Spas' around the area including one near the Grove (Harvester) which was Dulwich Spa I think, there was also Beulah Spa and Sydenham Wells. I'll be looking at my old maps tomorrow.

to be fair, being a BYO, they miss out on the stratospheric mark up most restaurants put on wine and the profitability that goes with it - so they put a big mark up on the tap water instead - the mark up might be huge, but ultimately 50 pence isn't going to break the bank

Take your own in future.

"This isn't just any tap water, it's ED tapwater". *with albatross playing in the background*

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
