This made me laugh. Yet again Lou your comedy Victor Meldrew style internet persona has hit all the right notes.

That would be 'sheer', not 'shear'. Different word, different meaning. Take a look at Gowers or similar.

I'm not one to uphold a grudge against those who may split their infinitives. But...

Not the same as 'so and so'.

Perhaps it is your 'wont', but for most others that'll be a 'won't', which is a contraction of 'will not'.

I think you'll find that 'I' includes 'personally'.

registration plates?

So you were quoting someone there?


Dear Louisa, how about learning how to use the English language before letting yourself run riot, breaking all the rules.

lousiana, maybe if I were a upstanding pillar of the community like yourself I would be able to master the English language slightly better, but taking my post apart based on the spelling and/or meaning of my words is just snobbish and arrogant, as well you know. Oh well that is just another example of how I clearly wind you up as going a million miles off the topic is something you seem to be able to master far better than any other poster on here. Anyway, better luck next time in trying to wind me up, I think you had better get back to that dictionary before something called 'getting a life' comes and stares you in the face.

:))


Louisa.

BBW: yes, I do from time to time cycle, though my current steed is covered in a thick layer of dust, which perhaps indicates how frequently I cycle. I have most recently been hiking (Wye Valley) rather than cycling.


Louisa: I don't own a dictionary. Dictionaries are for people who entertain doubts concerning spelling.

See that Louisa, "These boots are made for walking and that's just what they'll do and if you don't check your grammar one day these boots are gonna walk all over you".

Geez lousiana, think that's fairly harsh to break down someone's post and analyse to an inch of it's life. Does anyone really care? I mean, it's obviously got right up your nose but Louisa was having a rant so misuse of words probably wasn't at the forefront of her mind. Geez as I type this I'm feeling rather paranoid that I screw up but I've always been a bit rebellious so ............skjhakdissufdsjfjccn ;-)
But Louisa, if you feel it's your right to honk your horn and express your feelings then you can't argue that the cyclist can't express his anger back. I'm sure if he had a big **** off horn, he would honk back instead of banging yor window but if you put it out there, generally you will get it back.


I definitely don't agree with that comment. Dictionaries are great. Expanding vocabulary and playing a home-made version of Call My Bluff are two things they are good for. Also useful for finding the origin of words. Useful to most people with a passing interest in language.


Anyway, as you were.

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
