Queues - on the street - in the cold!


Recommended Posts

Outside Cheese Block a couple of times this week


Used to seeing them outside WIlliam Rose but last 2 days it's gone past the Irish Shop.. Fair play to people I say. Butchers closing down across the country but when a quality one opens up you can't say it doesn't get the custom



It's things like this that make me happy to live in ED..

Well, having queued for thirty minutes with a streaming cold in arctic temperatures yesterday, I still think it was worth it to buy Xmas stilton from a man who doesnt just know about cheese...he knows what I like. Plus some crumbly mature gouda and a goats cheese yule log and something Spanish beginning with z. Now I actually have something to look forward to *after* christmas dinner (other than the Christmas pudding I couldn't face last year which is still suspiciously in date).

    • Before going to Social Media it is always worth checking out the details: Southwark's spending for this year: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-tax/how-we-manage-council-tax/our-budget-and-how-we-spend-council-tax/our-income-and As you will see, as with most if not all London Boroughs, shed loads goes on social care and children's services.  The cost of paying for residential care, and for 'specialist schools is massive.  As with other boroughs they have been hit hard by austerity under the coalition government.  And the failure by successive governments to sort out social care.  That is a thread all in its own rights. Local authorities of all political persuasions across England are facing tough times, several have gone into administration: Birmingham, Woking, Thurrock, Croydon, Slough, Northamptonshire, and Nottingham and 11 are on bailouts.   Covid will not have helped.  Some will have made some poor investment decisions in the past eg Thurrock and Woking;  Some total mismanagement and one has been hit by historical debt through not paying their workers fairly (Brum).   Reform promise simple solutions to cutting spending.  Not that easy is it Nige?
