Is it just me, or is anyone else getting thoroughly sick and tired of all these mothers invading the coffee shops of East Dulwich day after day? I was in Caffe Nero the other day and thought I'd stepped into a nursery by mistake - the place was wall-to-wall mothers and their yapping offspring. I could barely hear myself think.


Do these people have nothing better to do all day than sit around sharing a skinny Cappuccino between four, whilst talking about house prices and speculating as to when M&S and/or Waitrose will arrive on Lordship Lane? Do they have no homes to go to? Don't they know that they can safely plonk their sprogs down in front of a Tweenies DVD and get laced into a bottle of Gin for the afternoon, before their hubby gets home after a hard day at the Stock Exchange?

Keef, I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Jeeze, just imagine what the cpt would be like if it were full of yummy mummies....mmmm, ok, maybe not soo bad, but screaming children, even quite children, they'd make me feel guilty about smoking, them with their beady cute eyes, looking at me, screaming at me....'but you're killing me...' *shudders*. Now, surely we should debate just how many coffe shops ed needs...


If I could, I'd Lounge meself.


*Lounged* (awaiting Mr Admins approval. Obviously)

*Bob* - I'm glad you love the thread that I have started. I hope I can continue to be as inspired with my subject matter in the future.


Oh, and by the way - the cure for cancer is coming along nicely. If only these damn babies would stop screaming for a few minutes I might yet have my Eureka moment.

Come on *Bob* - no need to pick on Louisa for no reason. She's been very pleasant of late and it's a bit mean to pick on someone on a thread where they haven't said anything


Is this thread about coffee places or the tired old subject of mums?


Both have been discussed to death hereabouts - I do remember being shocked years ago when I went to Pizza Express in the village (I was young) and how LOUD it was for a Thursday afternoon - but to be fair most of us are at work and if I was a mum/dad/au pair I would want out of the house so good luck to 'em I say


Far better to tootle of to Jack's for your cuppa Joe

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1) If you are an electrician and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 2) If you are a Sound Engineer and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 3) If you are a journalist or have connections with the local and wider media (Print, on line, TV, Radio, please email: [email protected] 4) 'Every Little Helps' even just £1 will make a difference, please support the crowd funder: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/.../piehouse-workers-co-op...
