I must say that the spectacle of a whole group of people, who claim to hate threads going off topic and to be upholders of the civilised tone of the forum, ganging up simultaneously to take the thread off topic, signal their own virtue and try to bully Sue is somewhat enervating.


ETA I don't include Buddug in said group, who had a right to respond as she felt, rightly or wrongly, she was being attacked and had a right to reply.

Only one condescending supercilious PITA on this thread, Buddug, so don't take any further notice of it.


Well done for your TRUE neighbourly spirit.

This is a great way to show some police presence in the area, we had the same dropped off my police.

Re Smartwater - isn't there an annual subscription fee you have to sign up to in order for them to maintain the record of which "watermark" is yours? I looked into it (several years ago, so may have changed) and after 12 months they charge you a subscription fee. If you don't pay, they delete your record from their database. Would be interested to know if this has changed in which case I will look at it again.

I learn something new every day even at my great age, Lynne. However, I am always eager to increase my vocabulary.


Are I right in saying that it is no longer politically correct to refer to somebody as an "ugly fat bastard", as you could in the good old days before all them hipsters first moved into ED and you could smoke all day to your hearts content in one of the old fashioned boozers that ain't there no more?

'Lookist' is the word I know, as opposed to 'uglicist'. And I think Lynne was being very 'tongue in cheek', parodying previous posters. But you are in no way horizontally challenged, Mr Tring. Though you may have over-indulged in the mince pies this year. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, another neighbour is also being brought in to view the identity parade. Looks like this pair of burglars have been hard at it far and wide for quite some time. Often, just two burglars can be behind 95% of burglaries in an area, and putting them away for a while can bring great peace of mind to a neighbourhood. I shall keep you all updated. It's not often these bastards are caught.

To divert again, (sorry Buddug) Anglo -Saxon law allowed common abuse, as long as it wasn't provably untrue,and this, roughly speaking, has continued. Thus you could call someone ugly, and this is mere abuse, but not a bastard, if they were born in wedlock.


Good luck, Buddug.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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 apparently  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?

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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.
