Or this one ..... Memsaab, London Rd, Wooburn Green, High Wycombe HP10 0NJ I'd like to see the menu on their Facebook page, rather than pictures. I'm not holding my breath, but I would be extremely delighted if the East Dulwich Memsaab turns out to be a cut above the others on the Lane serving this kind of food ......

All very curious. I clicked on one of the photos on their Facebook page and a restaurant in Dubai came up??? Maybe a Facebook glitch??? https://www.facebook.com/memsaabjlt/ ETA: If you want to be at their grand opening and you want 40% off your great modern quality of Indian food on 23 March/July, get in touch with them quick! At the East Dulwich Facebook page, not the Dubai one, obv. This changeover all seems to have happened rather quickly, to say the least .....

And they say they are opening on 23 July but they look forward to seeing us on Thursday??? And I searched on memsaabeastdulwich as suggested and a memsaheb on Thames came up, Memsaab in Islington and Memsaab in High Wycombe, but nothing in East Dulwich. But if the new restaurant is part of a chain, possibly this is the cause of the confusion. https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=memsaab%20indiancuisine

A glance at Green Goose's other posts on the forum will tell you all you need to know about the kind of person they are. Or actually, just a glance at their posts on this thread .....

No. You get accused of withholding information when you hint and imply that you DO know something, but then when asked what you know you beat about the bush and don't give a straight answer. ETA: Oh. Just saw your smiley. Perhaps I was a tad harsh there, sorry :)

So, will the "New Xoco" be changing its name?

:)) Well Trump seems to have a lot of time on his hands, maybe he has hacked the Fox's account on here :))

How cruel.

The only damage it can cause to trees is if it prevents light getting to the leaves. Plenty to criticise this misguided (to say the least) group about without ivy :)

Louisa, there doesn't appear to be anybody charging ?7.50 for a hot dog round here. It appears to have been a figure plucked out of the air.

What else could you have been referring to??

That's awful. I was in the park today and the crocuses are lovely. I took a picture of them.

Ah, that makes sense!

Like sheep. And Pokemon :) Why is sheep lamb when you eat it? And why is cow beef?

Nor am I. I've only had it once. I didn't like the rolls or whatever they are that they put the pork in. But it's hardly "pretentious", in fact I'd say it was downmarket (ho ho) if anything.

I was thinking of the Viet Van and the stall that does really yummy wraps (amongst other things).

Elphinstone's Army, there have been loads of builders at loads of houses in the street, and believe me I am well aware of them all :))

Yeh, I'm allergic to some tree pollens. But I think that is different to having your lungs affected :(

Best to change at Camberwell Green (after the lights) as the bus stops are closer together? I don't think they are that close at Kings?

A car full of my stuff, much of it new, has just gone off to a charity shop. Been having a major clutter clear! Fancy sharing a stall, KK?!

I was going to wander around to see if I could pin down the source, but didn't want to expose myself to the fumes more than I already had been, and it was really really bad out in the street. If builders (and there are a lot round here at the moment) are flouting regulations, then that is appalling. Apart from people with existing chest conditions, what about all the babies and young children round here with undeveloped lungs who are breathing in this muck? Are there fines if builders are caught? If so, are they high enough to be a deterrent?
