Not an ad. But has anyone noticed "Big Dave's Gusset" written large on a derelict warehouse that you see from the train as you approach Charing X?It's been there for years. What does it mean?


(it's on the lhs, not far from Borough as you leave London Bridge heading for Charing X. There's a deserted yard and it's written on a tumbledown shack)

Does anyone remember when 'Chamber Gay' started to appear all round East Dulwich and Peckham Rye in the early 1980s? But that was graffiti of course.


There are some of those old ad signs on houses in Peckham High St, near Manzes. There must be a book with London ones in?


I also love murals on the sides of houses like Hokusai's Great Wave in Coldharbour Lane and the Jackson Pollack one that used to be in Queens Road.

    • 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.
