Went there after several years of walking by and was pleasantly surprised by better-than-average Mexican food (which is saying something), but, alas, it is tired inside, with depressingly over-attentive staff. A makeover might only delay the inevitable: that we in the UK will choose Indian or Thai or Gastropub over re-fried beans and enchilada.
FYI: http://www.fta.co.uk/information/london/lorry-control-scheme/lorry_ban_2pdf.pdf I suspect the Somerfield truck comes under the 18-tonne threshold.
Wagamamsas & McD's? So that's who it was sold to... Didn't know about Pret, Sean. Why would they do that? It's still a growing brand, while theirs is plateauing
There's not enough passing trade for a Pret, or even a Subway. They're both owned in part by McD's, by the way, too. Leon is pretty good, but again, not enough trade. It would have to be a Nando's, with its everyman demographic, in store for us.
But, *Bob*, Shoefare's shoes aren't made from lips and arseholes. At least two poople I know have been ill enough to have a day off work from eating pasties or sausage rolls from separate Greggs. Vile.
Louisa is correct. Nando's is nothing but intensively-farmed filth basted with spices to mask the lack of taste, with accompanying mass-produced-in-a-shed-in-Telford fries. At least GBK, for all its homogenised faults, is a step up from BK & McD's Ditto Subway with its 'value' ?5 baguettes. And Greggs - if you think that's pork in your two-for-?1.05 sausage rolls, think again.
Take your pick from McD's, BK, Nando's, Subway or KFC. Nando's looks like the only possible fit, even though the food there is disgusting, especially the soggy chips.
It's either then, or in the day, blocking LL with a 30-tonne truck, and being ticketed, the cost of which is always passed onto the shopper. I think night-time deliveries in London are a good idea, for that reason.
Yes, noticed that today on Peckham Rye - it's the parakeets mainly, but there's a blackbird that going mad in my back garden, probably protecting a nest or scaring the cats.
It's policed by the ASA and the BACC (British Advertising Clearing Centre) when it comes to traditional TV and most print, but I think there's a publish-and-be-damned attitude to everything else.
