I agree with Louisa - how do we know the guy wasn't the same dangerous pervert who was taking "waist-high" photos of children in Peckham Rye? Or, and this might even be worse, maybe he was from an al qaeda cell intent on blowing up the area before the Adventure Bar can wreak even more drink-soaked, godless insanity on Lordship Lane? I say, hang him. Only language etcetc

Franklins - thirded

I can't believe no one's mentioned Le Moulin - their ice-cold barn-owl gratin served with a chipped tea-cup of cabbage-stalk risottini is to die for.

Oh, I love the Sonic Cathedral people...

right - just got the answer-phone the last couple of times I called, so it made me wonder... Thanks

i'm actually heading to Eric and Margaret's later for their Monday Night early-bird, blue-plate special - tonight it's their legendary boiled-otter fricass? with barn-owl croutons. Yum!

Previous posts tend to suggest this and the one by The Herne are very good - still true?

26: A working class person had the temerity to wear unattractive sportswear in the vicinity of my Croc's-N_Boden bedecked child whilst I was purchasing line-caught Grouper on Saturday morning.

I agree Brendan. I think if we all calm down a little we'll remember that almost all instances throughtout history of Swastikas on windows are merely situationist pranks by hi-spirited humanities students. Thank goodness for Louise's cool head!

I know loads - and I mean loads - of ED / DV mummies and they are, almost without exception - completely lovely people. Maybe I'm just lucky.

"...SE22 is now corporate lawyer and banker country - they are working in a US culture and increasingly living it - hence lots of people here for whom money is completely divorced from reality or value..." Oh please spare me. If you want to slog over to SE15 to buy your Clarks (does mummy know you're posting?) and save ?2.87 then good luck to you. But some of us have got stuff to do and don't mind paying a bit more to get what we want, when we want, where we want. That's not being "divorved from reality" it's just what happens when you have more pressig concersn than whiling away the time before tea because you've been asked to move on from the library.

*senses a lounging*

Hey Kat Mrs Rob, Rob Jr and I are (very) regular customers of Hoa Viet in Camberwell. Would be great to have a place nearer (tho', their spicy beef noodle soup may be hard to beat...) Good luck!

I don't think Louisa will take too kindly to you all talking about her house like that. Working class pensioners find it hard enough to keep themselves alive in the winter, they don't have money for home improvements like all these pesky incomers, you know.
