Because they are guilt ridden alcoholics in denial about the severity of their addiction and need someone, anyone, even if it is a stranger on a local forum they have never met to okay it for them to start their daily drinkathon.

May be an element of truth, though people I know who say things like that are more likely to see drinking as a social ritual. I was just wondering why you don't hear smokers say anything like that, or fat people ask if they're allowed a cake yet (lying in bed with a bag of Tyrrell's as we speak).

I had a nice cup of Earl Grey in the end

Golly, and there was me thinking it was a bit of meaningless persiflage to while away the afternoon!

Well you need to be careful Jah, we guilt-ridden alcoholics can often take things the wrong way!


(P.S. I know you weren't!)

Excuse my ignorance but where did you learn the word persiflage from and how often do you use it? I?ve never heard of it which is no great surprise as I communicate by re-arranging the (about) 25 words I do know. I?ve looked it up though as I'm keen to be educated, though I suspect I won?t be saying ?persiflage? very often.

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By Cancerian · Posted

      I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!
