Babur but maybe sold out

Thanks, but there's no public transport on Christmas Day.

I looked at the  Plough (thanks Beansprout), but last time we ate there the food was truly  appalling.

And we once went to a Burns Night there, admittedly years ago, which was like something out of Fawlty Towers.

So I don't really want to risk  paying  £85 a head plus drinks!

Oh well, live and learn, clearly I should have looked at all this long ago. We are at home this year, so will be starting the day  with drinks at the lovely Ivy House.

The Clock House (for some reason now The Clock House Tavern) has always been open on Christmas afternoon, so we thought we would book lunch there instead of getting home and having to cook, but the new management has decided not to open on Christmas or Boxing Day.

And I've missed the Waitrose (sorry) slots for the days when their Christmas food is available. Also M&S are either no longer providing a pick up in Lordship Lane for Christmas orders or else their slots are all full too.

So basically this is very poor organisation on my part and I only have myself to blame.

The only upside is that  I won't have to spend at least two days away from home  trying to avoid "discussions" with various relatives with different views from mine about various important things in the news.

Have you checked which Indian restaurants are open?  Pizza GoGo in East Dulwich Grove once told me they are always open.

Thanks, no, that's why I asked on here!

      South Dulwich?

      By James Barber · Posted

      Perhaps this comes from a proposal by former Dulwich Society chair of Transport sub-committee Alastair Hanton to rename Sydenham Hill station South Dulwich. The argument being the station name doesn't reflect where it is.  The train operating company told him it would cost £100,000 and that they had no plans to make this name change.

      Another recomendation for Robert Mills. Our thermostat was on the blink, called Monday and came yesterday and serviced the boiler and fixed the thermostat, Fab service.

      Southwark council survey on bins on the street

      By rollflick · Posted

      Yes there is certainly inconsiderate behaviour but the problem is made worse in the ED area due to the inadequate pavement width. See attached map, source is p13 in https://content.tfl.gov.uk/lsp-app-six-b-strategic-neighbourhoods-analysis-v1.pdf. Isn't it striking how much narrower pavements are across Southwark than neighbouring Lambeth for instance? That's why it was wrong for Southwark to limit the survey to just a few streets and why radical solutions to how rubbish & recycling are stored are needed. And yes maybe that includes some sort of ban on leaving bins out on narrow pavements. Plus perhaps underground communal bins like on the continent or maybe an interim solution of large bins replacing a car parking space or two.
