Who went to the Jerk chicken event today at the Horniman gardens in Forest hill? I went for a bit and the place was absolutely rammed and apparently there were something like ten thousand people there! East Dulwich could never pull anything like this off which is why it will always remain in Fozzy hill's shadow, losers!


There was also an excellent fight in the Capitol pub this afternoon as well. Can't ask for more really can you.

There were massive tailbacks on Underhill & Lordship Lane during the afternoon. I went past the Horniman just after 1pm and it was already obvious this was going to be one massively-attended event! So what were the queues for the food like then?? I can quite imagine 10K people being rather too many for the Horniman Gardens, what with all its hills and narrowish paths and so on

Ha ha, don't join many facebook groups, but have joined that one! Remember when I was a kid, the museum was totally mixed up, with some ancient Egyptian stuff put next to a Victorian vase or something, no order to it whatsoever. Added to the general charm of the whole place.


Also remember doing a primary school project on the Indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest Coast (in those days, I think the teachers just called them "American Indians", inspired by the totem pole outside.

I too arrived and left earlier. I was amazed at the number of people who were there and the numbers flooding in as we left.


ED could host it - but we have the Irish Festival, what need we of something else?

Are you insulting me in that pig-provincial Brummie dialect again Michael? I hope not, for your sake!


I was on facebook last night and I stumbled across a collection of pictures that had obviously been taken at an event in Hornimans gardens. I had a look and saw a few familiar face's who were obviously having a good time stuffing their faces with jerked food stuffs, you were there chief greedy guts.


All of a sudden it dawned on me...


Who on earth had given them permission to be there in the first place!!!


Just in case you've forgotton SeanMacGabhan, Ms MacGabhan, Tillietrotter, Keef, Mike Palaeologus (greedy guts), Floating Onion and Ms Onion and various other trespassers that since you were in the Hornimans...you were in my territory!


That's right. Hornimans = Forest hill...my patch. If you want to pass through then by all means but you still have to pay tax like everybody else. I know you live in Sydenham Keef but I also know that you're an east dulwich boy at heart so don't think I wont make you jump up and down if I think you've got any change on you.


If you do this again one of my patrol cars will pull up and ask you....

>>Speaking of the fusty old place, why are half the display cases in the dark? <<


Personally I like that lighting (or lack of it). I think it adds to the Victorian atmosphere and the slight creepiness of the whole thing. You could easily see Sherlock Holmes solving a murder committed in there.


And beards are unutterably stylish: and save the bother of shaving.

    • 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.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
