I know what you're all thinking. Poetic genius. But bad poetry is therapy. Do your worst.

Down the Lane at Christmas time, Mistletoe. And expensive mulled wine. Good luck if you think you can buy a house here, Tangerines, sourdough and facial hair beer?. Fresh pasta and sushi and other such fads, Nick Drake on the iPhone and Hipster Lite dads, A long queue at Begbie's for a thin number five, A pint at the Bishop for a post Sainsbo's skive. Shops selling good stuff, stores selling shite, Boulangerie Jade. Roullier White. And suits off the train as they march with their feet, Shopkeepers bid Fox good day down the street, (Pushing my buggie without inhibition, For a warm spiced rum. At the Great Exhibition.)

And some Kraft Cheezy Straws perhaps *Bob*?

Louisa...you're hilarious. 2/10

He's an introvert. And I happen to like introverts as I'm in that club. So we get on. We understand. His gentle challenges are always delivered with a wry smile. And why go there for vegetarian cheese or a pilgrims equivalent? It's a specialist cheese shop with proper cheese not Tesco.

Good post from Woodleigh above before the usual sidetracking I thought?..

No offence Seabag. But that accent sounds Jamaican.

When you think there are almost 9 million people in London trying to make their way at any given time, it's amazing to think there isn't more confrontation. That's because the vast majority of people are decent and have a basic respect for others. Every so often you come across someone who doesn't and it's not fun but it's big city life. Anything borderline sexual harassment is awful. Those tetchy squabbles on peak time trains were enough to make me start going in earlier and getting a bus or train before 7.30 am has changed my world. The arsehole quota rises at certain times.

But it's not the same product Alan. By all means take the hump on price but compare apples with apples first.

Jocky. If you want three quid cheddar head to Lidl. The cheese block is an excellent shop and is top drawer and the guy is sound too

Sorry, but the smart money is on a cocktail disco joint for 18 year olds....

Both Delaunay and Wolesley above are spot on suggestions.

Its really bad form to post this on a public forum and insinuate their possible guilt without talking to them about it first and establishing whether it was they who were responsible. Other possibilities are: a supplier offloading stuff after a delivery there, a local restaurant customer (as they supply local eateries too) or a retail customer. The owners of this business are a very well respected retail family locally and The Cheese Block is an excellent shop.

Technically yes...but you still need somewhere to live and excluding the primary home from any "net worth" calculation is always sound practice for personal finance. if you exclude your home what other assets do you have? People usually go quiet at that point. An inflated sense of "net worth" linked to housing is responsible for influencing spending psychology in many other areas. Scary when you think about it.

Best check there's not stiltons of it in other bins.

Read it how you like and make your own mind up....

I must say I'm a fan of Gowlett Johnny. A man, flawed like the rest of us, who bangs to the beat of his own drum. He has the nervous spark of entrepreneurial energy that keeps him busy....Most recently an old converted double decker bus. With a full pizza oven in the back and seating with 30 odd covers. Love it.

Middle class fear is responsible. That is all.

To all binmen. I have the address for poster ????. Please PM me for details.

Remember this? Franco Manca is a good product, good team and nice fit out. But whilst it might not go down well with the scenesters ...their pizzas are frankly a bit chewy. The Gowlett still wins for me. Discuss.

End of thread.
