Like the first stage of a cake mix? Interesting.


At home we used to make a bowl of icing (butter, icing sugar and maybe cocoa powder) and eat that. Frankly the idea makes me heave now.

As a kid if there was no cake in the house I'd have a spoonful of porridge oats, immediately followed by a few raisins & sultanas and wash it down with milk, convincing myself this was essentially the same thing.


These days I could call it "deconstructed" I guess.

I have appalling table manners at home and wouldn't hesitate to lick the plate clean, but reusing teabags?!?! There's nothing worse than a weak cuppa.

My wife's brother - in his bachelor days - would sometimes order a couple of large pizzas from Pizza Hut, and it would last him a couple of days. He'd leave them on the side (unrefrigerated) and eat it cold.

Oh yeh, my mum did that.


But I wasn't allowed to eat raw sausages, because she claimed it would give me worms.

Back in 1969 I was on block release at Lewisham College Lewisham Way.


Opposite was a Cafe that did the most amazing Pasties with thick crusty pastry.. Lots of brown sauce.

They sold Dozens of them at break time.


One time I needed the loo which was outside in the yard. There was 2 Large dustbins full with empty Kit-e-Kat tins.


Never put off though..

Ah, but I love my tea sans milk and weak enough so you can see the china on the inside of the cup. Not keen on letting the Assam out.

Most prolific in posting about it, anyway, but quite a few others here seem more extreme. Don't think any of mine would raise much comment if someone else happened to walk in.

    • 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. 
    • IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.  
    • 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!
    • Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
