I was overrun.. I tried to change the system... but the system changed me ;-)


Anyway, happyman, you'll be pleased to know that a whole bunch of us will be coming to the new restaurant next week as part of the curry club - usually between 8 and 15 people turn up but anyone is welcome to come along and join in


(Kel, point taken, but it's still relatively "new" to some people. Like, say... the manager)

happyman, research is good but not declaring an interest is considered very bad form.


For example, had someone posted a negative review you may have challenged it. However, it makes a significant difference to how your response is interpreted if readers know you're the manager.


Your opinion would hold slightly more weight if readers considered it independent. Traders know this, and try to post under anonymity to get extra influence for free.


This would be quite simply trying to gain an advantage through deception. Because readers don't like to be conned, it would have a very negative effect on your business.


However, it doesn't apply in this case, because you've swiftly moved to dispel any confusion.


Well done!

Happyman - do you have the same chef???


The Coriander did the best curry on Lordship Lane, so hopefully that won't change. We were regulars.


Sunday buffet was nice and hot (some other Lordship Lane curry houses have only *lukewarm* buffets because they insist to having it next to the front door so it goes cold quickly). Sunday buffet also had fab starters, prepared fresh - yum.


Service was a bit slow sometimes even when Coriander wasn't busy, so hopefully the new place will be better. Look forward to trying it out.

Okay, I'll let you into the secret. I have a moral objection to the sale of foodstuffs from public premises.

I repeat: fair enough.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      By giggirl · Posted

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
