A 'tentative drive by' Giggirl? That's how it goes down in the ED hood.

I reckon it involves you and your 'homies' (not 'housies', it's more than that), slowly cruising by the shop and slightly raising your voices in unison to chorus "TREAT US WELL, FABRIC FELLOW KNOWING WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE EDF AND SHOULD YOUR 'NOTIONS' SHOP NOT COME UP TO SNUFF WITH OUR RIBBONS AND BIBBONS, WE WILL SURELY 'POST A THREAD' ON YOU, WE KNOW WHERE YOU DO BUSINESS"

You never threaten to 'pop a cap in his ass' on the grounds it would be cruel to one of our dumb chums and your milliner would be livid.

Absolutely correct JTC, and it has been hotly debated in Ian Hunter circles.

My own view is that it's a poor title for a great album.

shouldn't it be 'you're never alone with

schizophrenia'



Just to be extraordinary dull for a moment, it shouldn't be either.

Schizophrenia means split mind, but was when first used to describe the condition was intended to mean split from reality not a split personality.


Anyway, the farbic shop was closed for a while for refurbishment, but as far as I know is open as normal now.

You probably got about as much in the way of customer service as if it had been open (threads passim)

    • Their pizzas are great but probably too much competition from Franco Manca and Yard Sale.  I wonder if they could go down the Flour & Grape route just focusing on pasta and a decent wine list?
    • That’s what the post is about - encouraging locals to support independents rather than chains (like Megans)
    • I used to use 500 degrees when it was on that site. Pretty tough for all the independents now with Megans, Chipotle and other independent restaurants all opening at the bottom end of Lordship lane. So much competition. There's also 3 Italian places at least. Isn't the Italian cafe going to rebrand as well soon?
