I realise that there was football on yesterday & it meant a lot to people, but I was shocked last night when walking down Overhill Road around 3am to hear what can only be described as a debauched party going on, on the ground floor of one of the houses over the brow of the hill. It would appear these people had no consideration for others, as peels of laughter & shouting came from the open window, with loud music being played! I stopped for a moment to see people dancing in their front room, but moved off quickly as I feared any comment on my part may be encouraging some sort of aggressive response !

I was in two minds whether to call the police, but choose not due to the general feelings of disappointment that was in the air over the England game, and put it down to this, though none of them sounded disappointed. I feel this sort of behaviour is indicative of the moral decline of our nation & I wondered if these crazed drugged up lunatics did not have some sort of job to go to Monday morning ! A very sad day both for the Nation & for Overhill Rd.

Ah I see what you mean, the tell tale signs, I didn't really want to get close enough to find out, I'm sorry that i cant give you much more information !




p.s. I have just read a previous post of yours in which you say you once poo'd behind the couch ?

Bravo Daizie !


Well I shall put this whole incident (the one last night) behind me & put it down to the heat & the football. hopefully there wont be a repeat performance of that scale until 2014 ! I guess also that I probably shouldn't be so sour about people enjoying themselves either, it's only because I'm not getting any, I'm so grumpy. A pleasure chatting to you, & look forward to the next time....

Get over it KidneyP! And here's another sclamation! And 'ere's one more!

See how you like it yourself, as I reckon Huckleberry Finn once made remark 'pon.

Stop it now KP, it seem to me that it was a group of yout' dem just followin' their natural instinct an' ting, let de yout' dem flow wit' their naturalness and nah interfere wit' nah f*ckery.


KP, 'ope dis fine you as it leave me.


One Love.

I have just had to get a friend of my wife's teenage daughter to de code your message for me. But I believe between us & the use of an online urban dictionary we have got the general 'jist' of what you said.


'Good point, well made', I believe is the correct expression.

Technically, it was not last night but early this morning!

'Tings irie, well dread' is 'ow me an' me bredrins would a put it, so fine an' all.

Me spar Bredda Clarence want to pint out, dat him would a' spell 'jist', 'gist'.

So.

Bredda Clarence, 'im quite da stickler in dese mattas.


One Love.

Indeed, & it would appear that your 'Bredda' Clarence is quite right in regards to the spelling of 'gist', meaning the central idea of things. As opposed to my incorrect spelling of 'jist' which would appear to be an abbreviation for 'joint integrated satellite technology !


Anyway 'one love' to you and yours & do have a rather lovely week.

    • 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 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.
