Please stop. You're extraordinarily tedious.

On my last holiday to Turkey.. Thomsons would not serve me Peanuts onboard the aircraft because there was

a passenger on board with a nut allergy... This happened on both outbound / inbound flights..


Immagine the same situation on a Bus with much less space...


But who cares... who even thinks about it... ??

I sort of get what you're saying, but peanut allergies (like most others) tend to require physical contact. Some people can be hyper sensitive (I have a friend who literally cannot be in the same room as a kiwi fruit), but most are able to withstand being near it. For example, one woman at my job will go into anaphylactic shock if she eats pineapple but is perfectly fine to serve the juice.


I think it likely anyone that sensitive would be fairly alert to what is being eaten around them. Let's be be honest, the number of such people isn't sufficient to force a legal change for the public, but I would hope that someone eating peanuts (or another allergen) on a bus would stop if asked to do so by a sufferer.

I have the deadly nut allergy to Brazil and Walnuts, but not others


On a plane I'm all for the ban, as I've no chance of being able to get hospital treatment


But on a bus or in public, I just move or get off the thing


And I've been resuscitated in the past, which in itself is quite the trip


Avoidance is key not a law change

The lease is up for sale (as it has been for some considerable time) - if it is sold the cafe will close - the new owners of the lease will choose what to put in its place - if the lease isn't sold (hasn't been so far) I imagine it will continue trading, until (I would speculate, no knowledge) the existing lease runs out. Assuming nothing else happens with the owners.


I don't believe such a closure is necessarily imminent, the thread was only started when someone noticed the lease was on offer.

Penguin68, do you know for sure that it will close and it isn't being sold as a going concern?


I have no knowledge of the owner's plans for this cafe, however it would be odd to be intending to sell something as a going concern and to be separately selling the lease (remainder of) which is all I know is up on offer. Most of the 'charm' of this cafe sits with the eclectic collection of antiques (the residue of a former enterprise) - especially the chandeliers. I suspect that these set dressings would not be sold cheaply, if they were to be sold at all. This thread would additionally suggest that 'goodwill' might be a difficult asset to judge effectively. Were an offer to be made for the business as a going concern I would be surprised if it were not to be considered seriously, but its valuation may be a moot point. It is not clear to me that the business model necessarily holds water (and the way it is implemented at times causes problems) so whether it is actually 'a going concern' which would attract bids is moot. But I don't (as I have said) believe its closure is imminent, unless and until an offer for the outstanding lease is made and accepted.

Leases are often sold with the business as a going concern, so I don't think it's a given that the restaurant/caf? will close. I know the place has a bad rap here but I do think sometimes the forum users overestimate their influence.


Personally, I used to really like the place but then their menu changed and didn't do anything for me. Subsequently, the reports of the manager's behaviour influenced me and I haven't been back but I doubt the majority of their customers are aware of any of this stuff.

Leases are often sold with the business as a going concern, so I don't think it's a given that the restaurant/caf? will close.


Necessarily, which makes me think that as the only offer for sale anyone has come across is the bare lease (and not the business itself) it is the lease which is up for sale - without (necessarily) a business attached. Of course someone might wish to buy the lease and continue the site as a cafe - but were it to be continued as 'Le Chandelier' the fixtures and fittings would also need to be sold - and I have seen no advertisement for these. As I said, someone might choose to make an offer for the business as a 'going concern' - but this is not what is being put up for sale (as far as I know).

HA HA HAAAAAAAA!!

    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.  
    • I do know the care home julia tant was moved to
    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered,
