I fear it may be, I was once persuaded into going there with some people from my old job and the music was dire stuff like whitney and lionel, all night long (no pun intended!). There was also an irritating australian barman who shouted "DIDN'T YA MOTHER TELL YA TO USE A FUCKING COASTER?!?!?!?!??!" when I didn't use a coaster....

RE All Night Long


That local DJ with the big sidies (think 118) who used to play Sunday at the FunkyMonkey and I think does Liquorish once in a while, always used to finish his otherwise decent (although a bit repetitive) set with that bleedin dirge.



That's Honk playing one of his minimalist sets. Lionel is his trademark "feck you" to the imported home counties values set.

    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.
