the pirate man!!! see him every morning coming out of the station, still curious as why he dresses this way, my theory is that perhaps he works in a pirate themed restaurant...or he's just a bit eccentric

We thought he looked a bit odd when we first saw him on the lane to find him at Soup Dragon later on - very nice man. Maybe he should have a weekly change of outfit to keep attracting the customers, a fairy perhaps..?!


Did anyone see a man with a bird (the winged variety) on his shoulder walking down LLL Sunday before last father's day)?

They were defo rolled up trouser legs. For sure. And I'm pretty sure that was a parrot on that bloke's shoulder, I saw him on Saturday or it could have been Sunday. Having spent the weekend with estate agents on Lordship Lane I'm afraid the days have rather blurred together..........

I really think you're onto something here moos. Who knows, next thing, we'll be seeing The Sea Cow change its name to 'The Sea Dog', The Ukelele Club to The Hornpipe Club, the The Black Cherry to The Black Spot....


arrr.... shiver-me-timber-decking.

Captain Blackbeard walks in to a tavern and orders ?Ahoy, me hearty, gimme a tankard o? yer best rum. AAAAArghhh!?


The barman places the tankard on the counter and replies, ?Cap?n Blackbeard, Good to see ye again. But where?s yer buccaneers??


?Aaaarggh,? says Blackbeard? Under me buccan hat!!?

    • Our 10 month old kitten has been missing since this morning from Nutbrook street. I know that's  not that long but he's not well and on medication for diarrhea, vomiting, and eating very little. He only ever goes out back and today he got out the front door, an area he's never been before. He's very good about coming home when you call him but no sign.  Answers to Jeffrey or Jeff.  Please get in touch in you see him as I think he will be very dehydrated very soon. 
    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!) As regards the apparent  marketing spiel, at least one of the online reviewers also refers to a Chango branch (the Parsons Green one in this case) as a "gem". Probably just coincidence and a word in common use to describe such places. I wouldn't know. I'm ancient 🤣
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
