Gifts and hospitalities

 Registered gifts and hospitalities

  • 24/03/2024 - 'The chai tea bags will have cost approximately £15 (it was a big box), and the chocolates £23 offered by Maria Pillay, Flat 2 Broughton House, 16 Denmark Hill SW19 4HF, and Blanca Newland, Flat 3 Broughton House; I had gone for tea with two residents, and as I was leaving they gave me these presents as Easter presents. They told me they had bought the tea specially as they knew I liked spiced chai tea. It would have been churlish and offensive to say no, so I accepted the presents. ; Value £38
  • 23/12/2023 - Grande Luca Pannetone, acrylic iphone stand, box of shortbread, sandalwood soap, value unknown but over £25 offered by Chandra Pillay and Blanca Newsome, residents of Flats 3 and 2 Broughton House, Denmark Avenue; These were unsolicited Christmas gifts from two residents, they were thoughtful gifts, and the residents had gone to some trouble - the presents were wrapped and with a card, and were left on my doorstep. I think the two residents would have been very hurt if I had rejected their gifts, and I was pleased to accept them.
  • 12/12/2023 - Neil's Yard Geranium & Orange handset offered by Tamora and Chris Rusby; It was very kind of these residents to give me a gift, and it would have been very churlish to decline to accept it. ; Value £35
