Lordship lane shop gossip (lounged)

This. I'm sucker for their excellent meat platters, cold Sam Adams beer and large screens showing the NFL.


Although, Cla*ham has a Bodeans...first Oliver Bonas, then Adventure Bar and now Bodeans.


It's a slippery slope I tells yer.

It's not quite Lordship Lane, but it is gossip....


...the cafe in Peckham Rye have applied for both an alcohol license and a license to stay open till 11pm. Ordinarily I'd say we had enough drinking establishment but I'm thinking a few ice-cold beers on a lazy summer's eve might go down a treat.


All those in favour please raise their drinking hand.

God only knows what will be coming next, some sort of cafe selling overpriced coffee and pizza with a free copy of the Guardian to boot. Heaven for a large number of trendy urbanites on here who think living close to a shithole like Peckham is edgy as opposed to scary.

I'm a huge fan of the Gowlett pizza. I'd like to see a sit down pizzeria on LL rather than the take away places.

Or perhaps the Plough should specialize in pizza to take over from the Mag (which I don't think does pizza anymore but could be wrong), but also I'm not sure if a pub does good pizza it needs to do anything else? surely everyone likes good pizza?

Most high streets have a sit down pizzeria, so we are def missing something, perhaps a business opp for someone.

The houses down both sides of the Rye have been leafleted by the Council for objections. Providing none of them throw a paddy I think it will be a fun addition. But then it's not in my back yard, not sure how I'd feel if I lived nearer.

The park is a place for tranquility not for a load of smelly old boozers walking home of an evening making untold noise.


As for pizza, no not everyone thinks a bit of flat bread with a few toppings on top is anything other than posh cheese on toast. How anyone can honestly distinguish the difference between a supermarket pizza and one made at some posh bar I have no clue, what a bloomin waste of money.


Louisa.

Sean what makes you think that everyone loves pizza? Honestly please tell me... I mean if you were talking about cooking a nice piece of meat or some complex dish which involved a whole host of ingredients I am pretty sure I could understand, but it is a friggin pizza, it is a cheapo tasteless fast food snack that is bland and usually boring. If you wanna posh it up by sticking some sun dried tomatoes or a fried egg on top be my guest but honestly it's just like posh cheese on toast. I have NEVER seen the appeal at all. Again it must be a class thing, because most people would be happy going out with the family for a treat at pizza hut (god knows why) or just buying a frozen pizza from Sainsbury's. A pub that sells this crap for over the odd's prices needs to be closed down in my opinion.


Louisa.

Brilliant

Sorry to be blunt Louisa but how the f**k is this a class thing? How big is the class chip on your shoulder that you bring it up every frakkin' (yes, I watch the middle class Galactica) time. I enjoy your posts but you're getting as boringly predictable as AFN.

You'll have to forgive Louisa, the poor old dear.. Due to an unfortunate industrial accident many years ago, her taste buds became stuck in the 1970s. It's not her fault if she can't tell the difference between those flat discs of cardboard you buy in Iceland with a scraping of tomato paste and cheddar 'number three' on top - and a real pizza.

don't forget Louisa's comments on anothr thread




You see? The class system is being imposed on her agaisnt her will - she isn't doing anything to perpetuate it


Other things there isn't really any difference in, and only deluded middle class people are happy to pay more for presumably include


Those own brand lagers which cost 4 for 99p versus (say) Budvar

Cheap, over-sugared and flavour enhanced wines versus realistically priced good wine

Galtee cheese versus any of the artisan ones found in, oooohm pick a deli

Greggs Saus.. oh we've done that one

etc

etc

I like the cafe in Peckham Rye, and it's quite far away from any houses, so I think it would be great if it stayed open later. However, if any of the people who live near the Rye come on here and give better information about the noise carrying I'll defer to them.


It would be even better if it retained a cafe feel for the early evening at least to it rather than turning into yet another bar. Realistically, it's going to continue to be packed full of people with small children, and the noise inside due to the acoustics is already pretty unbelievable, so I can imagine it might be considered a bit 'unfamily-unfriendly'.

OK maybe class and pizza is a step too far, but I think that if your going to a pub you should go there for a drink and not to sit down eating a bloody hot pizza, otherwise why dont we just rename the pub Pizza Hut or Pizza Express or however many other stupid and pointless take out and restaurants aimed at this annoying and pointless snack food. Anyway, i've had a pizza from all the major supermarkets and was once forced to have one at an Italian restaurant and I thought they werer all pretty pointless and did not substitute a proper dinner as far as I was concerned.

Somebody actually forced you to eat a pizza? Were they middle class?

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
