Whole house needs renovating. Central heating installed. New kitchen, bathroom(s). Garden overhauled. And just look what is next door. Complete madness.

You visited the restaurant once - once - and based on that single experience, a full five years ago, you wouldn't return? Wow.

Actually quite similar in some respects. Plenty of coffee shops/delis/media types/prams. Quite pretty. Community feel. I miss the parks, Brickhouse, Palmerston, EDT, cinema and annual art extravaganza, though.

?1,000,000 for a 67-square-metre bungalow, though? Wow.

What's the score here? Does it come with an acre of land or something? https://www.foxtons.co.uk/property-for-sale-in-east-dulwich/chpk2154081

"All with a very familiar formular" As opposed to Tandoori Nights, Jaflong, Surma, Dulwich Tandoori, Curry Cabin, Mirash, Swadesh, you mean, DF? Right.

whichFox indeed. Based on your latest hernia-inducing offering, it's definitely the narcissistic one. The usual persona, then. Business as usual.

Oh my god.
