I shouted "happy new year" and "happy new year East Dulwich Forum" while at Dawsons Heights Hill,

and a few people responded to the former.


Saddest sight was me realising there was more walk to get home and not enough mulled wine in the flask to last the walk!

Bus driver not letting me back onto N68 at Camberwell Green at 3.30am to retrieve my treasured 40-year-old hand crocheted shawl which I had left upstairs and realised immediately I got off that I had left it on the bus. I explained the situation and he still refused.


Bastard.


I have the bus number etc but he refused to give me his name. Somehow doubt I'll ever get the shawl back. Not a good start to the New Year. I had a very cold walk home (6)

Glad to hear you got a response! There was a lot of singing going on as well - Auld lang Syne and so on... so it wasn't as sad as I intimated in my first post. It was a nice happy atmosphere really. Pity we don't know each other - I could have invited you in to top up your flask for your long walk home....

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
