Tasteful RD...tasteful...

I agree with the OP though....but London generally not just East Dulwich or areas like it. Wages need to rise again.

Fox - is that you?

I'm getting too much from our cleaners. They are lovely young Brazilian women but pad around our house (a family home) in hot pants and revealing vests. All this for ?11 per hour when i'd much rather pay less and see less. Also for some reason I'm not allowed to work from home on Wednesday's anymore.

My house is feeling crushed and devalued... Nice little line in 1970's / 80's refurbs going on at the moment though. It shows what a decent architect can do to just about any property.

Having a debate with my brother about whether you used to be able to get dark chocolate Yorkies. I'm convinced you could...and they had a red wrapper?

A Cadbury caramel is not something you deploy without thinking for sure but it's a heavy hitter. North Americans are always impressed with a Lion Bar....and a Star Bar is also a good choice.

Just had a request from across the pond to bring over a uniquely British chocolate bar. What would you pick?

Bad feet on display. Gnarled toes, dry skin....yuck.

Yep. I've met a few types who keep saying the problem with Dulwich is an "oasis" surrounded by shitty areas they don't want to have to look at in order to get somewhere else.

So the charging is basically: ?2.50 Deliveroo charge plus driver tip ?1-?2 For orders under ?15 there is an additional ?2 surcharge. So not good for solo dining but for two people upwards it's only ?2.50 or so more expensive in most cases....a small price to pay to avoid Speedy Pizzas or Magic Wok.

...is the amount I've spent on Deliveroo - mainly on Gowlett Pizzas - since it started in May. That's bad. Also (Fox take note) I've found the most expensive takeaway on the lane - 3 small dishes from Yama Momo came to ?35. BUT the food we chose was really excellent.... Franklins have started Franklins Wood Fired chickens on Deliveroo - delivering cooked chickens to your door. Burger Bear - delivered Sat to Tuesday only I think...but excellent - try the angry fries. Chips never deliver well but I still love them. Other good things about Deliveroo - you can order chips from Sea Cow (now decent again IMO), a pizza from the Gowlett and a salad from Yama Momo and despite getting charged a bit extra it will often all come at once, hot and within 30-40 mins or so.

Best places to take a pram in the eve when the baby is sleeping are spacious and ideally family orientated Italian....Rocca, Olivelli both great.

24 Hour Digital Photos prev of LL....was weird. "Ready tomorrow?" "No sorry next Friday is the earliest"
