Draw your own conclusions. I've been told that this was a police raid, not an immigration raid. But of course Foxy & Louisa are quite correct that we should await any criminal charges before drawing any conclusions. And further comment on here could potentially be defamatory (apart from the Sue v Foxy v Louisa joust, which is both ongoing and enjoyable). Enough said.

A guy from there told me they were re-opening on march 16th selling indian food .

It isn't ongoing.

I just wanted an answer, and I got it, so as far as I'm concerned that is the end of it.

I just don't understand why it wasn't forthcoming earlier, as it seemed a quite straightforward explanation.

Sue nothing is straightforward on here, you should know that by now ;-)

Well I am straightforward, so I presume you are speaking for yourself?

ETA: And perhaps for Dulwich Fox if you are implying that his explanation wasn't in fact all that it seemed?

Oh well, I always was very gullible :(

I am very straightforward too. It's often my downfall. You know as well as I do, Foxy sometimes goes off on a tangent, innocently and never offensively, and yet you goad him for answers when it isn't necessarily needed. That's my conclusion, but anyway let's drop it now.

"Goad" ?? As in, ask ??

ETA: And still we don't know why Xoco has closed and whether it has closed for good .....

Thank god; we've needed a decent Indian on LL for ages. All we need now is a pizza place, cheese shop and some banners on lampposts and we're set.

[binkylilyput]

I don't care what they are re-opening as, I 'aint going nowhere that was shut down so quickly under seemingly mysterious/ dodgy circumstances.......not until it has been confirmed via the fountain of absolute truth (EDF)why!

[alice]

They shut down because they weren't making enough money to stay open. I loved the place.

[bob]

DG.

Yes it was a Police raid.

Is it known whether the "they" refers to the company that owns the restaurant or to the company's owner?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

for what bob, for what....you keep us hanging every time....even just a morsel will do to sate the burning curiosity...just throw us a bone. A small bone will do...

[bob]

Ianr yes I was told the same.

H.M.B. The raid was witnessed by more than one person and I heard it from two that saw it. The reason for the raid is speculation until Charges are made and proved.

[ianr]

> Ianr yes I was told the same.

Bob, I was quoting you and simply asking: which of A or B?

Anyway, for anyone inclined to fact-check the rumour of simultaneous closures ... The sole director/owner of Xoco Ltd of 44LL, incorporated March 2016, has the same name and birth month as the person who took over Chutney Jane Ltd of London SE, another restaurant business, in September 2015. So possibly the same person. I've seen no evidence of any other catering directorships in his name.

There are 4.7 billion people living on Earth.

Only 5 or 6 people have expressed any concern

About this place closing.

What happened

There were 7 Billion yesterday

Was it Trump

[KidKruger]

Hmmmm....

Foxy. A couple of days ago you hauled someone up for casually mentioning '7 curry houses' on Lordship Lane, where you pointed out it was 5 - a discrepancy of 2. Yes two. One, two - two !

NOW you casually disregard 2 BILLION of the population with a stroke of the keyboard ?!

Your error was AT LEAST a billion times as bad, by magnitude. That's a propa error.

This simply can't go on.

[Sue]

KK. Don't "goad" the Fox :))
