Is it just me or is Cafe Nero really dirty?


I've stopped going in because it's always so filthy, paper strewn everywhere, drinks and food spilt on the floor and not cleand up. I've also noticed that a lot of the litter that gets neglected, is then blown out onto the street... if anyone else has noticed and been annoyed at this then let me know as I'm thinking of making a formal complaint.


Or am I just being a curmudgeon? It only really gets to me when the rubbish starts flying out the door onto Lordship Lane....

I've never been to the Caffe Nero on Lordship Lane but that's partly because I've always found Caffe Neros to be dirty! Clapham Junction station, Regent Street... they've always been grubby, especially the loos which are often really quite foul. methinks CN Head Office really needs to work on this...

They are so busy in there (as per the que) that they don't have enough barristas to clear the tables as they get used and abused. You should say something, I'm sure you won't be the first. To tell you the truth I have noticed an explosive of people into LL of a Saturday morning. Many more than there used to be. I don't think CN can cope with the demand.

Ooops, may have contributed to mess in Nero this morning when mini mumra proceeded to throw babycino (how ED is that?!) on floor. Did attempt to clear up but agree that are never enough people to clear tables. Think nero is more popular than they thought it would be ;-) or perhaps they are just being stingy on staff.

Email [email protected]. They take it very seriously when businesses let their rubbish float onto the public roads (because it adds to their clenaers' workload). They usually send someone around to have words.


I hate to sit in dirty coffee shops and it puts me right off. Also people should try to be tidier themsleves.

Macroban - I accept the cleaver jibe but I think my usage of the word dichotomy was fine.



Dichotomy: division into two mutually exclusive, opposed, or contradictory groups


Option one- it is just spirit that is really dirty

Option two - it is both spirit and cafe nero that are really dirty


If option one is true then Cafe Nero cannot be really dirty as it is just Spirit that is really dirty so option two must be false.


If option two is true then it is not just spirit that is really dirty and therefore option one must be false.


As one of the options being true implies the other to be false then the two options are mutually exclusive.



Anyway- has anyone tried House on Camberwell Church St? It's a new coffee bar and gallery. It's really good and not really dirty.

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.

      That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?

      Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
