Hi Eddie


It's John Lynch here, one of the interested music parties that dropped off the radar.


Sincere apologies for not having been in touch.


Christmas, New Year, etc. etc.


I have literally just moved back into the area ( it's taken me ages to find the right place - two kids in tow ).


I'm still really keen on setting up a music section, but am so fucked for money ( two months deposit - it's killed me ).


Would you be interested in doing a deal ?


Something along the lines of, no deposit or rent up front, BUT I'll pay you the rent due out of the weekly takings.


Basically, I'll pay the rent due weekly or whatever works best for both of us.


I am off to OSLO next week for a music festival called By:Larm and then off to Austin, Texas for SXSW in March, but I would have someone who could cover for me.


I also lost my phone the other day ( too many rum and cokes ), so e-mail is the best way to get hold of me.


Let me know if you're into the idea.


Thanks for being so patient.


I hope everything is going well for you and I look forward to hearing from you.


Best Wishes


John Lynch

It was empty last Sunday morning when we arrived - maybe just opened - but it was great.


We chatted to everyone, bought some nice cheeses (sampled a lot more...) and had a long chat to the Keith and his wife about photos and travelling, and the nice lady about antique rose mirrored glass - God I'm getting old


Anyway a great addition to the hig street

I went here yesterday and loved it. All the stall holders were friendly and so happy to see some customers. I really do think it gets lost in the Lordship Lane haven of shops. For all you new mums or ones with toddlers. There is a great coffee shop there that was empty when I went. I think it would be a great place for yummy mummies to meet up. (And it will not annoy Matt)

Down Zenoria Rd, Strawbs. Keith, they do have a handheld sign on a Saturday, the stallholders seem to take it in turns. I expect it's a problem with planning permission that there isn't a permnanent one.


However, you can apply to the Council to put a sign on a lamppost - it costs about ?200 from memory - that may be worth the stallholders chipping in for.

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
