Yeah, right. hello Loz : I found this 2 seconds ago. what is your problem with me? What does yeah, right mean? does that mean you have the high ground? you sound like Dionne Bromfield and about the same age. Was this irony? I looked up Yeah Right, the Cambridge Dictionary describes it as : 'used when you don't believe what someone has said' Perhaps you could now look up 'disagreeable' and its many synonyms and realise that disagreeable and not agreeing do not correspond. I cannot fathom your hostility, self righteousness and pure aggression toward me and my feelings and opinions : its baffling. However I will not be disconcerted, but where I come from, posts like yours elicit the wisdom 'you are just showing yourself up' in happy, perceptive scouse accent.

hello Abe, for myself, bearing in mind that I moved away and returned in 2014, my impressions on entering the Pretty's greengrocers were: it needed a good sweep and a lick of paint would not have gone amiss the service was lacklustre and Chris whllst knowing everyone and popular did not take up my request for a weekly delivery of heavy veg, after offering Most importantly, the quality of the produce offered was poor and expensive, and not fresh. limp carrots and bendy radishes the honey was expensive the machine outside making fruit drinks did not look as though it had been hosed down in months the missus objected to being addressed as 'young lady' by an assistant whilst he was walking away - and personal comments made. altogether a lame excuse for a greengrocers in an area of healthy living, especially after we discovered Horniman and Brockley markets, as my post on Horniman Market thread describes.

Why now when we are more sugar aware and Jamie and his crusade is gaining momentum. The Duck Egg Cafe has absorbed the Pretty's brunch bunch, but I had fantasies of a greengrocer selling Webbs Wonderful, Kentish apples, fresh radishes, (fresh everything) local honey, eggs etc, and box up orders and deliver, now apparently the antithesis of healthy eating smashes yet another idle dream.......

pop, Honestly, I do not think you are in a position to correct anyone - pan, kettle, black? Your misprints, spelling, grammar and syntax leave much to be desired. My own daughter, adopted the would of, should of, could of, apparently from SATC. I eventually bashed it out of her. And a short form of would've, heard phonetically, displayed as of, which looks far worse in print - hardly worth a condescending post.

O I do love a lateral thinker, ha ha !

Toffee, you sound like Yoda - what is the thrust of your argument? and why are you so cross? and why are you taking on RH, you are like a terrier with a rat - growling away. Dulwich Park is a different thread. Perhaps you should have realised by now, that age and length of residency is not necessarily advantageous or of greater importance when debating or even remarking on anything current. I find your posts provocative and combative mostly, and often derail an ongoing discussion, and slow it down. I hope you find these points helpful, as they are not meant unkindly, but delivered in a state of exasperation.

Incubus provides flashes of Fusili, demons, horses heads and nightmares.

Lee, have you considered removing the fence ?

Thank you Sue !!

not so much Debrett as Harry Enfield

Yes it is a good Post Office, the counter staff are always helpful and we also use it to avoid the queues at LL.Post Office. Why is it closing? Is it underused? What a shame.

yes Sue, I read the notice and looked online, to see when it would re-open - the site said, Permanently Closed. Now it transpires the builders are tackling rising damp and it will reopen in early August. A false alarm from misinformation, for which I apologise.

Mary's Living and Giving, on the corner next to Health Matters - it was an expensive charity shop. Now folded after a visit from the Mary apparently.

Permanently closed - hard on the heels of Give and Take - so where are all the lovely clothes, accessories and costume jewellery being donated now?

It's exhausting, having to wake up enough at 3.30 onward to close the bedroom windows which face south east. If they are closed all night it's too hot and stuffy and sleep is elusive.

David Bowie art collection to be sold at Sotheby's in November. Is anyone else dismayed that it will not be contained in a permanent collection in a major city, preferably London?

Anyone else returned home from Kew Gardens concert with a head full of Stars ? after watching/hearing Simply Red sounding exactly the same as they did 30+ years ago?

Otta Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > What doesn't make sense about them? Because you > disagree with her doesn't mean her comments make > no sense, they seem pretty straight forward. Otta : in the first place I did not know KK was female. Secondly, I did not say I disagreed. This was self evident as I did say that KK's 7.11am post made no sense - to me. Then skipped off to work and thought no more about it. So was not ignoring you, but oblivious to your question.

KK, your disagreeable comments make no sense
