and that's what most people think Tribeca is


so i'm bemused to see it being used to big up a patch of ground that used to house a HAir PROducts WArehouse NExt to Goose Green, ED's favourite dog toilet. something like HaProWaNeGG would surely be a more appropriate name than 'The Tribeca'

i saw the signage on the hoarding and sniggered.

"Tribeca'- Triangle below Canal Street is how the area got its name.

I don't know of any Canal Street in ED. Nor any canal.

Its pathetic giving the building such a pseudo hipster name.

I'm now expecting to see "Williamsburg Hights''Dumbo Court' 'Hoxton House' cropping up in our 'nabe

some people's bottoms are other people's tops - maybe i'll leave that thought there for now...

my thinking was that that's the north end, Sue, from where the wind blows bitter and cold down the road from Goose Green in winter


whether bottom or top, "I live in Tribeca - no 'The Tribeca' - at the bottom of Crystal Palace Road" - its very snigger-worthy. only a developer could come up with that, while busily concreting over every square centimetre in sight.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
