Poncey new coffee shop

[James]

So what happened to this then? Was just thinking wouldn't it be great if we had a Konditor & Cook or similar?

[Jah Lush]

Eh? yer what pal? Never fooking heard of 'em.

Karter had mentioned it a few times a couple of montsh back - somewhere on NorthCross Rd

Careful there, there's a debate going on over the way about ED ponces. A K & C may just push some people over the edge. Then again the people who think we're all ponces won't even know what a K & C is.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I think that's why James deliberately worded this thread as such ;-)

* debates going back to edit intemperate post.... *

[James]

Oops! Didn't mean it mischievously. For once...

Can I put my hand up and admit to being totally hypocritical on the gentrification subject? i.e. I always rant on about the bl**dy Claphamites etc. but equally would never be seen dead in one of the old men's boozers that used to dominate Lordship Lane. And I get excited at the idea of posh new shops and bars despite myself.

There, I've said it. I feel so much better!

Mind if I Lounge this one James?

[mockney piers]

Just do it. My mockney sense is telling me there's another thread not so very far away headed there in a not too distant future

[SeanMacGabhann]

I would applaud such admission James except we would be deemed of topic

I always thought the new posh coffee shop was going to be a branch of "Pauls"

- dang - too late!!

[karter]

Havent posted much these days but this thread is quite relevant . The proposed new coffee shop on Northcross will be rather "poncey" and nice, do you agree Mark?

[James]

Am I being lounged? I feel violated! (reaches for smelling salts)

Actually I am surprised I haven't been lounged before. I am a bit random.

[SeanMacGabhann]

stay focused James! - we are close to getting the truth from Karter!

c'mon guys - spill the (ahem) beans

[karter]

lol Sean, thought we discussed this at a previous meet?

[James]

You get the best puns on this forum.

What with all this talk of a Paul I am practically hyper-ventillating!

Come on Karter, what's happening man?

[macroban]

I wonder if one more small coffee shop might be coming in on the trough of a wave.

[karter]

Macroban....What do YOU know?

[macroban]

The older I get the more I realise how little I know about anything.

But I do hope to become the world expert on Goose Green ponds before I die.

[Nero]

Is there a pond on Goose Green? Or is there a plan for one? It would be great to have one. Apart from that one at the end of Plough Lane (whifh is actually in a private garden!) are there any more around? I mean ponds and not lakes/park ponds etc. Nero

[James]

Macroban you are a big tease

[bald marauder]

Hey Karter,

I realise you cannot spill the beans just yet - but can you say when you will be able to?

I can't wait to see what specific brand of poncyness we are going to get...

[karter]

Hey BM,

The proposed tenant has spent a couple of ?k on surveys etc and its with legals, I cant divulge too much but it will be a few more weeks until something solid can be revealed....Buy this old man Karter a drink and maybe I will tell you. :)-D

[mamafeelgood]

a baker and spice? where the food is so expensive that even my north london friends are offended. i hope not ...

[Ted Max]

They are advertising for waiting staff in the window of a new coffee shop currently being kitted out on Lordship Lane.

I was tempted to apply to get the undercover scoop, but couldn't be bothered. I did peek inside though. It looked exactly like .... a new coffee shop. Must be very near to opening now.

[Jeremy]

Where is this new coffee shop, TedMax? Are we talking about the tea & chandelier place next to Cafe Noodle?
