 I don't know if you have had fish & chips from the new fish shop in lordship lane. East dulwich. Called Joseph's. Well my and my wife went there the other day we had rock & chips. The chips was lovely but the fish was well over cooked and very greesy. I just could not eat the fish the batter was realy hard and the fish just taste like rope and dry. My wife's fish was just the same   but the batter on her one was harder . This was the first time I've been there and it will be  the last time.sorry this shop is not worth The prices they charge for their produce. I paid £ 29.90 for this load of crap.

I am amazed.  Josephs is not new, it has been there about 3 years?  I have had fish and chips from there a few times and rate their fish as some of the best I have ever had from a fish and chip shop.  Chips are great as well,  The portions are enormous and great value.

You joined the forum two hours ago specifically to post this?

I haven't been there, but I have only previously read good things about Joseph's on here.

I'm also wondering if you took up your complaint with the shop. 

If so, what did they say?

If not, why not? Especially given that you had paid nearly thirty pounds, it would seem the obvious thing to do, to ask for a replacement or your money back?

So... what happened when you expressed your disgruntlement directly to the establishment?

As everyone has stated, Josephs might be expensive but in terms of sizing and quality, never had a bad meal from them. In fact they are so generous with their food that we order 2 fish and one portion of chips as servings are very large. Ordered food from them last week and got usual good quality stuff.

Rock’ is only dog fish. Most anglers throw them back

And dog fish is actually a small shark species. Very different taste and texture to the cod family.

If you'd been expecting cod then the rock would have been disappointing. But it is what it is.

Is it just me or is the title of this thread weird?    Not a good sign when the subject heading is not clear.  Is this  a decline in our use of the English language?  A thread in it's own right.

Reminds me of the Badwolf line running through the Dr Who's of Ecclestone  and Tenant.  Perhaps Rose in the parallel universe can understand what badfish is and save our world.

Not a good sign when it's is used instead of its, malumbu.

Its! It's its! Not it's 🤣

Definite sign of decline there

😛

Sorry admin, as you were. I notice the OP has not posted again in response to any of the comments 

Very fishy.

      Cutting down of the Cherry Tree Peckham Rye Park

      By tiddles · Posted

      But they were going to cut down a tree that had no notice on it ? Either way thank goodness people intervened. My total lack of confidence in Southwark tree dept is justified it would seem…

      Hopefully the confusion won’t lead to injury.

      Cutting down of the Cherry Tree Peckham Rye Park

      By fishboy · Posted

      To clarify a few points- I didn't just happen to be passing, I saw the workmen setting up equipment worryingly close to the tree from my front window, so put my shoes on and headed over there as quickly as possible just in case. Unfortunately they had already lopped a few branches off in the two minutes it took me to get there. Although I didn't see them attach a notice, the wording on the notice pictured above has the same terminology that they used with me - fungal brackets - so presumably it was them. I have no idea who removed the sign, or why. Also worth mentioning that they were third party contractors, carrying out work orders from the council. I'm a bit confused by the 'mistaken tree' comments, as Councillor Renata Hamvas posted on a Facebook thread that she had raised the issue with the relevant council officers, and that the response she received is that the tree does have a fungal infection. So there seems to be conflicting info there, and I'm concerned that the tree is still in danger.

      To be fair, do we know who put the notice on the wrong tree? The people wielding chainsaws almost certainly won't be the experts  who identify  the problems with the trees? They just go along and hack down what they're told to hack down? I might be wrong, but whilst actual tree surgery needs expertise, I wouldn't have thought hacking down a whole tree did? Apart from knowing how to use a chainsaw, obviously.
