There is a perfectly decent Waitrose at South Woodford which is about
5-7 mins walk from the tube. It has a far better range that the
Waitrose at Stratford which I find disappointing. If push came to
shove you could go to Waitrose at Holloway Road - Overground to
Highbury and 43/271/393 bus up the road.

There is also a decent M&S at Ilford which is a train or bus ride from
Stratford. OK it's not Oxford St but it's not bad for food. Stratford
is better clothes wise but who needs to buy clothes so urgently that
they're deprived if a shop is closed for 7 hours?

I know both South Woodford and Ilford but from Homerton both involve
travel via Stratford. I was planning on walking the c.3 miles to
Westfield on Friday morning to avoid travel congestion and then take the
Overgound back: early in the day the Westbound services have been fine.


How do you know it wasn't part of the plans all along? You're
guessing.

Umm - ISTR that I very deliberately did not assume it wasn't part of
the plans all along. And looking back I see I wrote "In other words
they are either liars or
continuing the practice perciewved [sic] from TfL and LOCOG for a long
time now: tell the locals as little as possible as late as possible so
they don't have time to complain ('cos we'll ignore their complaints in
any event so we can only win)." Please note "either ... or....".

That said, I do admire the way you translate "tell the locals as little
as possible as late as possible " into "the "best" way to handle the
communication issue": you are a press officer AICMFP

No need to feel sorry - it was my own decision.

I'm still sorry that a job you once loved that much turned that sour.

He's always been like that, though this one represents a new extreme. I
think we should all conspire to ignore him.

You're supposed to see Stewie Griffin as a figure of fun, not a role model.

Anyway, IIRC you can't get dole after quitting a job, and can't get any
benefits for six months.

I wouldn't know. I haven't been unemployed since I was a teenager. I
certainly wouldn't be ****ing dumb enough to make myself voluntarily
unemployed no matter how much I hated my job.
