I recently bought some bread and dips from Gail's Bakery in Dulwich village.

I had been looking forward to trying the food from this bakery but was really disappointed.

The bread was rather tough and the hummus had far too much lemon in and tasted more like lemon curd than hummus!

The mackerel dip was a little better but I don't think I will be going there again.

And it is very expensive.

Sorry Gail's you don't get my vote.

But it was packed out so maybe I am alone in my views!

I went to Gail's for the first time, I brought a salad which I took to the park, when I opened it I found there was some added protein in the form of a caterpillar!

I did get a refund and an apology, but one member of staff laughed and asked if I named him!


I will to be rushing back..

I've been into Gails twice, to buy cinnamon buns, which are delicious BUT am completely put off by the pile of pastries and cakes stacked on the display stand just inside the door. I've seen a little girl flick her long hair over the cakes(yuk)and watched another kid stick his tongue out to have a sneaky taste(double yuk).

I now go to the Blackbird Bakery where at least the edibles haven't been sneezed on and are delicious too.

I had the same experience - very dry, tasteless and expensive (?1.60) baguette - can't help that the bread is displayed in the front window, in direct sunlight most of the day (amazing the number of places that do this). Also still not convinced by the self-service model in a lot of food shops these days, especially from a hygiene perspective.

      New Student Loans at 5.5%

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I was lucky that I received a student grant from 1990-1995 first 3 years for degree and 2 years post graduate bursary. Both were based on my income and I did not have to pay back. Eldest daughter got student loan and after 20 years managed to pay it off, Youngest daughter still paying hers 18 years later. Granddaughter - still paying after 6 years. Grandson decided against FE and secured an apprentenship. I am glad that I am an old codger and not young anymore !

      Any updates? - Sidings East Dulwich on the top of Railway rise

      By Pugwash · Posted

      It is not only Southwark - our grandson, partner and 7 year old had a one bed council flat for years in Harlow Essex and all the properties offered were in poor condition. They eventually took a property as if they refused another one they would drop to the bottom of the Housing List. It was damp and in need of a level of renovation. Having lived in these conditions for a while they were offered better council accommodation recently, but further away from child's school. They had to pay 2 lots of rent for a few weeks as council had to undertake work in the new premises before they could move in,

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Fiddlestix · Posted

      Just had an interior decorating job done by Andy. The final outcome looks lovely and he did some remedial work at the same time to fill in gaps in the ceiling (due to previous electrical work) and to remediate any similar areas to ensure a polished overall look. Would highly recommend him for any similar job, he quoted a very reasonable price for the job as well. Thanks Andy!
