Hmm. Was asking if there were any signs of Vegetarian Week, eg in cafes or shops in SE22-ish?


(Don't know if "Bacon Sarnie" is really complete response to idea of combatting world hunger, but there you go).


If it gets any worse I shall have to consider posting quotes from Paul McCartney.

commondreams - 10 reason's to go veggie site - represents an ill informed, unbalanced and biased point of view. It's polemic propoganda and things are not nearly as simple as the site makes out.


That said, I regulary eat veggie and might doff my veggie cap to ganapati to mark the week

I don't think there's any reliable study that shows an increased tendency to compose songs about frogs, or even don tartan or marry ladies who are too keen on having their photograph taken.

That's what I was hoping to find out. Hoped there might be somewhere, anywhere, local, that would make a bit of an imaginative effort re veggie food this week.

I heard the chucks are breaking out the champagne down at the battery farm.


Those fine folks from the Croydonvegetarians.co.uk know how to celebrate too. They're having a vege Beat the Banger competition in conjunction with the local buddhist group


Seems Croydon is the vegetarian epicentre for the week.

East Dulwich out-evented by Croydon. How shaming.


Any suggestions from actual local vegetarians, as to how we can redeem ourselves?

That?s a good idea SteveT. We could have a vegetarian themed curry club this month (I hope I will eventually make it again)


I?m not a vegetarian myself* but I do play one on tv.


*I tried once but they said I had to give up black pudding and sausages no matter how I remonstrated about neither of them actually being meat.

    • Has anyone else had a water meter fitted in the last couple of years but is not being billed on the actual consumption as measured by the meter. I ask because after our meter was fitted 18 months ago, we could see the actual meter readings on our online account. This was helpful in terms of monitoring the consumption down to a day to day basis. However after about 6 months, the meter readings were no longer published online. I recall earlier advice from TW that  we would have a 12 month "trial" period after which we could opt to switch to metered consumption or stay on the rate based on the rateable value of our house.  As there's only two of us in the house, I reckon our actual consumption is well below the RV based consumption rate so with a bit of cynicism I reckon TW has deliberately discontinued publishing the meter reading.  Had the readings continued to be published, then we could have made an informed decision on whether or not to move to metered billing. Is anyone else in a similar position?
    • DR Yes he had not been very well for about the last 2 or 3 years but was making some progress, we use to see him down LL getting his shopping and stop and catch up on all matters Ed. I Pm'd just before Christmas and received no reply which was not like him so I did have concerns about his health but I had no other means of contacting him. R.i.P Foxy Bob S 
    • So, private polling for Labour in London puts Labour and the Lib Dems with the same number of seats on Southwark Council come May. It’s not clear from this Guardian article (link below) if that will be all due to Labour losses or if the Lib Dems will actually make some gains in Southwark. Either way, the Greens are set for a massive surge in seats across London, if the polling is correct.

    • I shouted at someone who pushed by me on the tube last week, as they got off I said your could least say "excuse me". Somebody told me "they did".  Whoops, humble pie. I have no idea whether the original poster overreacted. I have done far too many times, and try (or should try harder) to learn from this, and do regret not handling things better/calmer.  I expect most of have similar 'guilty' secrets. There's a separate thread on why, being British, we apologise when it is not our fault, or when we simply want to get past someone.  Excuse me (and/or thank you when they move out of your way) is appropriate.  Even people who you wouldn't fancy meeting on a dark alley do this.  And I apologise for being so judgmental, I couldn't find the right words.   (if you remember this ad you may be considered by some to be old)
