I agree - but then the club should say that explicitly and not try and pretend that the move to cashless is going to solve the queues; I simply don’t believe that it will make that big a difference - especially as the “majority” are already using a cashless payment method.
You’re right about the multiplicity of issues, but it was Barber himself who said that the “majority” of purchasers already use a card in the press release, although he was silent on whether such users use contactless or chip-and-PIN.
Yep, exactly. The club need to address the staffing if they really want to improve service times. Getting staff who aren’t always brand new and who have some prior experience of a pressurised bar environment is, imo, going to make a far more significant difference to service times than the...
While there are templates that many businesses use, and the vast majority of businesses will include clauses that attempt to achieve a variety of things, typically around confidentiality, I’ve yet to see identically worded NDAs. They are not intended to be used as non- compete contracts, but I...
Tast - King Street, Manchester.
The GLDHI and I went to the City game and were again generously and beautifully hosted by one of NSC's finest. I won't embarrass him by identifying him, but his house had an unusually large collection of specialist 1970s German & Scandinavian films and rather...
Endo - Television Centre, White City
The GLDHI and I were really looking forward to this trip, based mainly on Giles Coren's glowing review ("the best meal I've had in 20 years as a food critic"), and expectations were high. Sushi is never cheap, but even so £150pp for the 15 course omakase...
Oh wow - some new places for us to try - thanks v much.
Between Camberwell and Peckham proper there's a couple of places we've tried - Ganapati is always decent. The Begging Bowl is very highly rated but the GLDHI and I disagree about it - she thinks it's pretty good, I think it's only meh+...
Ah. That would explain it.
I should have added the Camberwell Arms to my list of very good places - modern British gastro-pub; very good. I used to like FM Mangal until they made me wait 90 minutes between ordering and bringing me any food. We left before the food came without paying for our...
Nandine Camberwell Church St, SE5
After dropping off my Mum (yes, she who clapped Boro when they scored at the AMEX a few seasons ago "Well we clap a good shot at bowls" - no, she hasn't done it again, thank God - and now has a ST sitting next to me) at her place yesterday afternoon, I met the...
