Oh for fuck's sake 'breaks' what planet are you on?!


Regardless of your very poor sense of humour I am not suggesting anything other than IF I wanted to drink then I should probably do it somewhere where the owner has not expressed his anti-booze feelings for religious or whatever other reason any more than I would scoff a big mac staring in the window of the blue cafe or juggle pork pies outside a synagogue.


It's already been pointed out that one can have a perfectly good curry experience without alcohol and I would rather do that now that he has these feelings - stop trying to imply some anti-religious angle.

General question: when I was in my twenties I'd gladly neck any and all complimentary shots offered at curry bill time to make me feel special. Is it a sign of age when you start turning the bad brandy, generic brand cointreau down?


Second question: has anyone ever had the weird frozen coloured dessert at a curry house?

Gordon Bennett - Yes I read all your post! I said "a few bottles"!!!


If someone wants a small glass of wine, they can either take a screw top bottle and take out of it what they want, or take one of those tiny bottles of wine.


If someone wants a brandy or a liqueur, they can either take some in a small bottle or take the whole bottle and take the rest home.


Those options would be included in "a few bottles"!!


My reference to Cobra was a separate issue relating to the change to BYO and the difference it will make to the bill!!

Do you mean the ubiquitous ice-cream stuffed orange/lemon/coconut? I honestly don't know why they sell that crap, surely nobody buys it. Especially when proper Indian desserts can be so tasty.


Regarding the BYO argument... it's beyond me why anyone would actually want Cobra/Kingfisher, it's just generic bog standard lager. And if you want wine... buy a ?5 bottle and take the rest home. Liqueur coffee is a tougher one, but I can't imagine many people missing it.

Was at Jaflong last night.. Was very busy....


I had 2 Poppodams .. Mushroom Rice .. Chicken Madras with added Green Chillies.. Peshwari Naan.


All of which were cooked to perfection.


Have been a couple of times since Jaflong stopped selling alcohol and the food has been very good on each occasion.


There was a few problems before Christmas but all is fine at the moment.

Well worth a return visit if you have stayed away.


I choose not to take my own alcohol and drink water. I often just drink water anyway with my Indian meal.

Of course you can still take your own alcoholic drinks if you so wish.


Give them a go.. You will be pleasantly surprised ..

      Are we now under a flight path?

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      By Sue Klein · Posted

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
