?10 a head sounds good, will definitely check it out soon. Char siu buns are one of my favourites too.


I'm pretty sure most dim-sum is just the same mass-produced frozen stuff, so it doesn't vary much from place to place. But that's not a problem when it's cheap and hits the spot.

I spoke to the owners of the dim sum place the other day: absolutely charming people, I hope to eat there soon and wish them all the best.



Threads is brilliant - lovely, young girl with fab second hand clothes and some whizz vintage pieces. My dog was welcomed inside too which is very refreshing. Cheaper than ED Warehouse (which I love) and a great addition to Bellenden Road.

a young man from brooklyn was over recently as he was working for us. he'd been staying in hackney and shoreditch the 2 months he was in town. when he headed over for dinner (se5) he asked "where is peckham from here?" as i pointed over the railway track i asked him why he was interested. apparently peckham is piquing interest in hackney and is seen as the 'new place' where lots of interesting things are going on :)


i'm sure that this will upset some but i think that it's great.

Students in trilbies drawing on the walls of abandoned portakabins. That's the sort of thing we're after, I think. The trendies are moving in though, and the scene is moving on.


Think of the Meatwagon/easy trajectory and extend to the creative output of Camberwell CofA and Goldsmiths.

I was assuming that the young hipsters would look for things like bars/clubs, art, live music, interesting places to eat, etc. Although I can see the attraction of drawing on the portakabins, and not to mention the tent on top of the multi-storey serving campari and fish.


So now that Peckham is so obviously pass? (even the Americans are in on it), where next? Penge?

Come on now. Here's a list of Peckham (and one or two Dulwich and Camberwell) art galleries - and I've attached a map as well, because I want people to think I don't spend all my time watching repeats of Rosemary & Thyme on ITV3. In fact I also spend some of it pretending to know shit about the Peckham art scene.

(Brendan, all the original Edwardian bedrooms in Penge are designed so the marital beds would lie exactly in line with the rising sun on the Summer solstice. And Parish records show that during the years of the first world war, not a single male baby was baptised in the area.)

I work in Hoxton Sq.


There are by percentage AS many cunts per capita in the Bellenden area.

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • 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.
