cust you have a really strange accent, you cant be from here.

why do customers think I want to discuss where im from , where i was before this pub or why i have an accent.


take your beer and piss off


there !! thats what really grinds my gears today !!!


now sir , how can I help?

The following things are really p*ssing me off at the mo...

1) slow walkers esp ppl who take ages to get on the bus. Move your left foot forward, then move the right foot forward & repeat- its not rocket science.

2) ppl not having their oyster card at hand - esp the person who pushed in front of me and did it..

3) ppl blocking entrances/ pathways, standing in front of the ticket barriers to look for their oyster card- also ppl standing at the bottom of the stairs at Denmark hill station (or any station, for that matter)

4) ppl standing right next to me (sometimes making body contact) when there is a whole empty pavement, forcing me to move, then *lo and behold* they move next to me again. some idiot at the Plough bus stop who kept on doing this when i had the flu, i even coughed in his direction to deter him but it failed.

5) mp3 speaker noise on buses.

6) general rudeness.

7) post-it notes that dont stick...i stuck one on my colleagues back, with a message on it, the other day as she left work & it just kept on falling off.

Ohh Andystar



You just hate work and getting there ( the place of hate ) irks you "bad"


Been there , left, set up on own. = new hates....hmmm


W**F

This is gonna sound really bad but you had to be there to understand my frustration...


...homeless people who claim not to understand english yet know exactly what to demand when the police respond to a call out. demanding reference numbers, telephone numbers of the officers (including the inspector) and start preaching about human rights... no english eh?


AND then have the check to come back later after officers have politely moved 'em on! (6)

Doesn't sound strange to me KK.


Watching a Police Documentary on Sky last night and in several seperate instances the same scenario occurred: The "Suspect" i.e. someone with a kilo of crack tied round his waist:)), suddenly either lost his hearing or could not understanding even basic English any longer when questioned by The Police.B)

....not unlike various homegrown "talent" I've met over the years who cant add 2+2 or put three words together yet knew every single benefit that they were "entitled" to chapter and verse.:))


People who shout "I'm Entitled" when entering Council Offices.


People who do not like a taste of their own medicine.


Mobile Phone users on the train, who don't keep it short and sweet.


People (lol( who insist on relating a story in every minute detail, instead of giving a quick synopsis, as in:


"Well, I said to her, I said, I said "You shouldn't stand for it!", I told her, I mean I told her "Don't let him do it!", She said "Well, what could I do?", I said "What could you do?", I tell you what you can do, I told her, so I told her and she "go's" Well, maybe", so I said "maybe??"...I goes to her..so she said........zzzzzzzzzz

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
