No one else involved according to the Beeb.

I wanted to post about something else but conversation had slowed so much that I was considering asking for the thread title to be changed.

Perhaps people are waiting for August.

I went to honest burger for lunch. Good to try them at last after hearing so much about them and they are very good burgers. I'd still not queue for an hour plus to have one on a Saturday night though- it was a good burger, but still only a burger.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Shit. That explains the helicopter last night....

As, wondered if anyone else had noticed that

On honest, they should have a wee stall selling their chips only.

I think you'll find that a wee stall is for chinese meals al fresco.

They've taken over enough of the market already, no?

 

[leanderman]

very good, but just pizza/burger.

and the profit margins must be even better

making burgers isn't that difficult, for example

There's a PCSO putting stickers on bikes in the bike racks in downtown Brickers. The stickers say "Lock the frame and both wheels to the stand." So now we know.

 

[pissflaps]

how about a sticker that says "don't steal this bike or else we will catch you and you will go to prison"

Very strange things going on wih the Post Office. The other day we had three deliveries.

Got a letter from the Post Office about how things were changing, but can't remember any of what was said

Meanwhile, I don't know whether it's GPS or something that's sending lots of delivery drivers down the wrong road, but Ocado last week said he was outside front door and he wasn't, and Parcelforce have said they tried to deliver and left a card (twice) when they didn't resulting in one package being returned.

Ah I must have bumped into him today in Stockwell. He decided that as he was a PCSO he didn't need to indicate at the lights, which prompted a lot of shouting from the cyclists behind him.

Has anyone checked whether the BRIXTON / sustrans stands are too big for a secure lock yet?

 

[Frumious B.]

I'll try my Kryptonite mini for a biscuit.

 

[pissflaps]

funny you should ask - i popped round there last week and did an entirely unscientific mini evo test.

all letters other than 'O' - pass.

'O' - not so much.

we got one today- says we may have a different postman (we don't have a regular one) and the timing may be different (we don't have a regular time). So a good use of money all round.

Management are probably doing this on purpose so once it's privatised everyone will be happy with the "Improved " service.
