Well it's no wonder they're confused, they say 'caretaker', you say 'concierge'. It can lead to all sorts of misunderstandings.

I wouldn't be surprised if they hadn't started fomenting the recent unrest about that Totale company bringing in foreign workers and all that malarkey.

I'm not holding you directly responsible, of course. Not directly. Not completely.

But in future, think before you Frenchify, it can lead to faux pas.

PGC - you describe my neighbour! i had to threaten them with a 5000? fine from the council in the end.


He is beyond any doubt the most selfish person i have EVER come across. If / when he moves back in im sure it will be a suitably horrible place to live for him...

grrr (yes i tried to reason with the idiot but couldnt find a brain cell after 3 separate attempts of having the door slammed in my face..)

    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet. 
    • i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?
    • This is very true. For some people, not even just the elderly, their pet/s may be their most important companion. 
    • Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
