Re: Help save Tooting Common and Lake Side!!!

I don’t get what the big deal is with these events.

Why would you not want something like this on during the Summer ? It’s not like it goes on late at night.

Enable must just ignore these people

Re: Tipping and service

I went to Bills in Wimbledon and they are really naughty.

not only did they add the service charge on, but when paying by the Table QR code, they defaulted to an additional tip of c.5% on top of the service charge.   Very easy to miss this ‘2nd Tip’

Won’t be returning to businesses like Bills.

Re: Whats sport like at Alleyns School?

I would definitely choose Dulwich over Alleyns for the sport.

Also, Alleyns has also got very woke and I wouldn’t send my child there for that reason. They are on the wrong side of history now.

Re: Balham Halifax to close

Banks are closing branch’s (so recently Barclays, Santander, NatWest have also shut), but also notice many banks here are reducing tier opening hours and days. Lloyds are Halifax are 2 of the worst for this. This is all part of the anti cash agenda, banks and Elites are making cash more and more con...

Re: Anyone using their little brown food bin?

I counted only 6 bins used this week on my road of 60 houses.

I asked the collection guys and they said most people don’t put out the brown bins anymore.

Re: Anyone using their little brown food bin?

We have stopped using ours. And most of our road has stopped as well.

I recently read It costs around £1.7m a year, just to collect these brown buckets, so wrong.

Re: Black Sheep Coffee Balham - closed down

So a Balham councillor publicly berates a Balham business without knowing the real story. Your councillor should surely be supporting their local businesses ? No, not Jo Rigby - she did this before attacking Chadwick’s.  Oh Jo, if you are reading this- the rubbish wasn’t even Black Sheep’s - their m...

Re: Anyone else noticed Waitrose becoming a not very nice place to shop?

I was in Waitrose this morning (only ever buy a few top up items now as it’s got really expensive), and many of the shelves with chilled food were empty. 

Many of the staff have left recently, I just don’t see the point of shopping there anymore. Get Ocado if you want an expensive shop !

Our MP, Rosena Allin-Khan voted against the Rape Gangs Enquiry …

Like many residents I was shocked at how our MP voted on Wednesday night.   Last night your Labour MP, Rosena Allin-Khan, had a chance to vote for a full national inquiry into the rape gangs scandal. Our area is full of young children and we would all like to think they are well looked after and pro...

I am not sure why anyone would want to eat Vegan food. Mostly tasteless.

Re: Black Sheep Coffee Balham - closed down

Who is this Rigby woman? She sounds a very angry, awful person. I didn’t like Black Sheep either though, mainly as they don’t take cash - businesses like that don’t deserve our custom. I don’t think they are closing down though, people working there today. Don’t think Rigby will be welcome there whe...
