Wasn't sure where to post this but it is a positive 'Whisper' not exactly a shout out..


After a couple of years I finally got back to Ganapati..

Intended to try their Lunch Menu. but as they were offering their full menu I went for that..


Just some Poppadoms and Pickles.. a Chicken Curry that came 'On the bone' not seen that anywhere in the last 30 yesrs.

and their Coconut rice...As it was lunch time just had water.


Was quite nice and better than my last experiance their but did take a lttle time to wait. 20+ mins.

Because it was on the bone.


Came to ?16.50 and I was not charged extra for the Rice. Was fairly spicy (Black pepper ?) Filled a hole.

I enjoyed my meal but nothing special to write home about as some might rant on about.

My positive shout out is to the young lady who helped me order a coffee at the services earlier today. Don't often go into a McDonalds, and certainly never used a self service touch screen super dooper thing before. FYI the coffee was crap (as expected).

Hi Lou..


I went to McDonalds O.K.Road after a trip to B&Q..

I too had never used or even seen The Self Service Touch screen super dooper Thing before. S.S.T.S.S.D.T.

Just wanted a 1/4 Pounder (Burger)and Fries . Gave up on the S.S.T.S.S.D.T. and went to the Counter.

Was asked for my ticket..


Don't have a ticket..


You have to get a ticket.


Where do I get a ticket ?


From the S.S.T.S.S.D.T.


I just want a 1/4 Pounder (Burger)and Fries

Please wait in the waiting area for your Ticket to come up on the indicator then come back to the counter.

That's because High is the adjective


I'll be out of my grammatical depth in a minute, if not already

That's because high in that construction is an adjective and five is the noun, so the noun takes the plural, just as in shout out the shout is the noun and out a preposition, so the noun takes the plural, shouts out. However, one can make shout out a compound noun as either shout-out or shoutout, in which case the plural shout-outs or shoutouts is quite correct.


I would get out more but me anorak's in the wash.

    • Very sad to see H&B on LL. Will still go to Health Matters! 
    • H&B Is coming to Lordship Lane  It will be next to the Large St Christophers in Lordship Lane Also just to confirm that Oliver Bonas is taking over the 2 white stuff shops (i spoke to the builders yesterday and they confirmed they are breaking through to combine all three shops)
    • So here we go again, but with a proposal for a bigger and longer event. This despite the massive failings (again) last year with serious & long lasting damage to our park throughout the summer, lack of effective waste management, widespread public nuisance by the attendees, and of course the noise. Every year GALA are set conditions for their event licence, every year they fail to meet them, then every year they are granted a licence again - depressing. First impressions from the site plan - the proposed footprint has increased dramatically, sprawling further down & across our park (image attached with 2024 footprint in orange & 2025 extension in red). There  will be a music stage within 50m of our front room. The entrance area will be on a sports pitch. The trackway for heavy plant access will be across two sports fields. The entrance / exit for heavy plant will be opposite a school. The road at that point is regularly gridlocked due to parked & waiting cars. Increased trackway = increased damage to grass. I'm sure there's plenty more that is unacceptable... It's clear that we all need to comment on this consultation, but it's not clear how to actually add comments / participate. The email & consultation document both direct you to the GALA page on the council website - www.southwark.gov.uk/Gala2025 - but this only has details of the GALA PR sessions, not the official consultation. I've raised this with the council, I'll post if I get a response. I've also raised the issue that the council's Outdoor Event Policy states that "Applications for major events must be submitted a minimum of nine months prior to the event start date.", which would have been August 29th 2024 for this application. This is apparently necessary to give sufficient time for things like consultations...
    • I'm sorry to see another chain opening up in the form of Holland and Barratt a couple of doors up from SMBS.  That will be another unfair pressure on SMBS .  I really hope people continue to support SMBS and its relative shop The Cheese Block under huge pressure with the arrival of Mons and Bora.  These are two of the oldest surviving (30 years plus?) green grocers, deli and unusual ingredient food shops in Lordship Lane and made it an interesting high street long before the chains and  newbies moved in.  I would think Healthmatters is none too happy either 😕 Support your local independent store or Lordship Lane will get really dull
