So help me Jesus.


An Italian? Really? I've said this before, but I'll keep saying it till I'm blue in the face. We HAVE Italians. Lots.


Il Mirto - Melbourne Grove

Si Magia - Forest Hill Road

Case Smerelda - towards Nunhead

Il Giardino - opposite Peckham Rye station

Locale - East Dulwich Road

The Gowlett and the Actress do pizzas

There is another new Italian opening on Bellenden Road.


AND, to top it off, the two things you've suggested....Bella Pasta and Zizzis....are NOT Italians. They serve some vague approximation of cod-Italian pre-cooked, packet sauce slop. The have about as much relation to Italian food as a horse and cart to a Ferrari. Please, stop it now before I explode in a mess of puttanesca sauce!

I went out with a bella pasta waitress for a wee while.

Her tales could turn you grey haired over night.

The food was so bad she wouldn't even spit on it leave alone eat it, which is something of a coincidence because potentially libellous anecdotes and the vicar said 'Not on your nelly' aha, ha ha... uhhhh hhhhuuuurrrhhhhhhh.

It's not anal. It's pointing out that asking for another Italian when we already are inundated with them is nonsensical. It would be like asking for another curry house. We have loads. Say you don't like the ones we have and discuss what a new one might bring and I might have some sympathy.


Pointing out their addresses saves the OP asking "where's that then?"


And pointing out that neither Bella Pasta nor Zizzis bears any resemblance to actual Italian food is just good eating (as Piers points out). I mean, it's actually depressing. An it doesn't even have the excuse of being cheap.

You've obviously not been in the village for a while Sean. Bella Pasta closed down about three years ago and was replaced by Cafe Rouge.

    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.   
    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
    • I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612
