See now what you've done!


I am too.... ahem..."working" from home in the back garden.......but curious now as to which threads tempted the "Sean" ish....?


Is it possible (in theory) to take gardening leave, from gardening leave ? If so I think I'm doing It...ahh..



W***

I'm not working from home - I'm on genuine holiday! No abroad for me this year me , so less of thing wink-wink


But as to *Bob*'s OP - yes it is hot, yes beer is lovely and that spicy chicken dish I just cobbled together hit the spot nicely after some tennis. Now if only I had some lovely open-air gig to go to, my day would be made..


oh wait...

Seeing as this looks the place for inconsequential chatter, perhaps you could put your beer-enhanced brains to this.


I was just getting into someone else's conversation on the train and it went exactly like this:


"Yeah, it's going down all the time isn't it. We can buy New York."


Pause.


"I put a bid in at 4:45 and to be sixty over we need 16.75. That's still valid until tomorrow morning."


Then I had to get off. Apart from learning that someone thought you could by New York for 4:45, I have no idea what was going on here. Anyone have a clue what this could have been about? I must know.

Cheers Citizen. All sorted now. My attention was distracted by a woman down the carriage fanning herself with a black lace fan - an unusual site on the 15:03 to Peckham Rye. She slightly spoiled the effect by visibly exhaling a gasping "F'kinell", but all the same, full marks for the fan.

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
