I think, that in writing We're excited to open our second shop on Lordship Lane and... he may have meant to write We're excited to open our second shop, on Lordship Lane, and... for clarity. A bit prodnose but that is why, sometimes, old-fashioned use of grammar can avoid misconceptions. I wish them well in their endeavour and am pleased that the public environs (and history) of Le Chardon are to be respected.


I suspect that the more informal approach of their restaurant may be more to the taste of the new public in LL than the more old fashioned '3 courses and coffee' vibe of Le Chardon - much though, at times, I enjoyed that.

Love this post. Exactly my thoughts on reading that sentence. Love a bit of grammar! :))

I completely agree.


But if someone posted personal rubbish about you on a public forum, would you not want to respond?


If not, then I admire your restraint.


ETA: And let's hope that's the end of it.

May I just ask please, do you have a list of take-away prices available? The menu on your website just shows sit in prices. Many thanks.

Hi there - here's a fairly-comprehensive list of our current takeaway prices:


- Vegetarian tart: ?4.50

- Meat or fish tart: ?4.95

- Any tart plus any salad: ?6.50 (this is a good meal - you'll be pretty full)

- Regular tub of salad (250cc): ?3

- Large tub of salad (500cc): ?5

- Cake portions start from ?3 (e.g. lemon & coconut polenta cake) but we have 6-inch cookies for ?1.75 and pastries are similarly priced

- Coffee/tea sample prices: americano ?2.20, flat white ?2.40, latte ?2.50, any tea ?2.20


Hope this helps!


Thanks for your support,

Adam

Respectable city types? You've obviously never worked in the city. Just because they're wearing a suit doesn't make them any more respectable than your average builder. Did Dr Who drop you here from 1950?

But you're happy to eat battery farmed chicken from an Indian restaurant in a mixed grill?


*principals have to be adjusted according to my taste/argument*


Just fixed that for you Foxy.

'Respectable' was in quotes ??


Never worked in the city. ? I worked in the City for 40 years..


Back in the 70's when as Telephone Engineer field guy, I worked in Customs and Excise,

The Stock Exchange, The Mansion House, Coutes, Barings Bank, Rothchilds, Plantation Hse. in the Commodities markets.


I also worked in Billingsgate Fish Market and Smithfield Meat Market.


I met them all.

I stand corrected and didn't notice the inverted commas around 'respectable'. I should've read more closely.

Foxy - did you work as an telephone engineer for all of those companies, or work in the commodities markets for some of them, and if so doing what? genuine question.

I was working for The GPO as a Telephone Engineer and in my early days 1970 ish went out to these companies and many more to fix their Switch Boards, Lines and associated equipment.


,, after that I moved into The Exchange where I worked as a maintenance Engineer working on Telephone Equipment,

Diesel Generators, Batteries, Rectifiers, Compressors , Cable pressurisation systems, Lighting.


Post Office Telephones (GPO) became British Post Office then British Telecom (Privatisation)

I also worked for Mercury Comms. Cable and Wireless and finally Nortel Networks.


I also had my own shop in E.D. Uplands Road. and was a Temporary driver for Dial-A-Ride.


Hope that answers your question. :)
