Have a look on a map *Bob*. It would take some major gentrification for Bellenden Road to spill over into Allendale Close.


I think the problem is that some SE22 folk know that whilst it's nicer than SE15 it's not cooler.


Old St is cooler than Angel. Brixton is cooler than Clapham. Peckham is cooler than Dulwich.


Fear not though as when you're middle aged you don't have to try to be cool any more.

Well I say good luck to these guys, and I for one shall be going to check them out and lend support. This just in from one of the owners:

"We won't have a full a3 licence but we will serve traditional Banh Mi bagguettes, also steamed dumplings BAnh Bao, BAnh Cuon

and sticky rice etc. even Trung Vit long (duck embryo)!! and some soups - we don't want to get into the full restaurant thing - but concentrate on our strengths - that is coffee. Tuyen plans to do some other VN drinks - Sinh To and the like.

I imagine that things will evolve once we have got in there, but we will continue to do the mobile cafes too as they are invaluable for marketing ( & cash flow)

We hope to make the cafe as real as possible to the Saigon coffee house experience, with Viet pop music videos & decor - without trying to dilute/water it down to western tastes too much. Our business is starting to get successful because we haven't compromised too much ( ie no Viet Cappucinno ) there's a bit too much wishy washy stuff out there that plays it too safe. We will continue in this vein i think!!

cheers Rob"

Camberwell barely exists any more. It's Oval or Brixton in the West, Peckham in the North and East and Denmark Hill or East Dulwich in the South.


I like my bit but it's not exactly Hoxton. Maybe Mary Datchelor School development will change that.


On topic- we have already got an excellent Vietnamese Cafe though called Bay on Denmark Hill. Highly recommend it.


The main point Bob is that you feel the need to denigrate your neighbouring areas in order to feel better about yourself and your area. Your fine Bob. Just relax.

Ca phe sua da or cafe sua da (Vietnamese: c? ph? sữa ??) is a unique Vietnamese coffee recipe. Literally, ca phe sua da means "iced milk coffee". Ca phe sua da can be made simply by mixing black coffee (typically a dark French roast, often with chicory) with about a quarter to a half as much sweetened condensed milk and then pouring it over ice. The coffee is traditionally brewed with a small drip filter into a cup containing the condensed milk. The condensed milk and coffee are stirred together and then poured over the ice. Ca phe sua nong (Vietnamese: c? ph? sữa n?ng) - literally, "hot milk coffee" - is made by excluding the ice.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
