Woah jimmy, wtf? Way to pour oil on troubled waters. It seems that Ladymuck and AnnaJ are quite capable of sorting this out themselves and that LM's post was designed to clear things up rather than start name calling in her honour.

Oh dear.


Ladymuck, as I said in my PM I'm greatly relieved to have heard from you and more than happy to accept this was a misunderstanding. Loud music, nerves, and a bit of alcohol can make the same conversation feel very different from each side and I accept that no snub was intended and I'd like very much to forget all about it.


I posted on here about what happened (or at least what I felt had happened)when I got in that night, not with agenda or intent, but because I was upset. As Huguenot put it (not without a mocking twinkle in his eye, thank you H) it was a hurumph and nothing more. I honestly didn't expect it to become this big a deal and a certainly wasn't setting out to ruin any reputations. As for mentioning it on the night, well, yes, I did tell the forumites that I'm close to about what had happened, I think that's only natural, but I certainly didn't spend my evening stirring up trouble or asking anyone to ignore you.


This is really getting too silly now. I'm so glad you approached me to sort it out and grateful that you wanted to and more than happy to accept that I misread the situation. Can we please move on now?

Having read through this thread, I must admit that I find it quite childish. In a way it reminds me of kids in the school playground. People on this thread are not kids but, from what I have read, some have failed to become responsible adults. On analysing the thread I believe that Ladymuck is owed an apology because her name has been dragged through the mud on a misunderstanding.

I was rather wishing that I could have attended. Now, not so. Clearly the whole evening was one of hand-bagging and hurling of slings and arrows over up turned furniture.

No I'm not that type of person actually. But I think in this case a wrong needs to be put right.

I have seen no apologies yet to ladymuck...therefore, in my view the wrong has not been put right. Ladymuck has indeed apologised to the other person for any misunderstanding. However there have been no apologies coming the other way.

The opinion here that really matters is daizie's, because she was there, and her very tactfully expressed opinion was this...


I was there and never felt anything untoward at all by either person


So, if a third person who was present felt nothing untoward occured, I'm happy to admit that I misread the situation and for that I am sorry.

In the interests of harmony:


There are two issues here: the original misunderstanding - which has now been resolved - and the original, unilateral announcement on the forum - which hasn't been addressed, in my view.


AnnaJ has expressed her gratitude that LadyMuck contacted her privately in order to clear up the misunderstanding but that courtesy was not extended to LadyMuck before the allegation was made in public - I feel an apology on that count would lay this matter to rest in a fair and balanced way.

nice one annaj, i was with daizie and LM alot of the evening as we came together (not in that sense), LM was rather upset afterwards and still, after chatting on the phone, just saying that's all, just to let you know.


Tony is not shit stirring RosieH, he's just looking out for her just as you would to a family member no doubt.:)

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
