A story on new developments given flashy American names, like the Tribeca next to the Crystal palce road - Goose Green gym, in an attempt to lure international money laund, ehm, investors. I hope I can quote half a sentence without infringing copyright:

"

these homes aren?t for the people who live in these places. No kid from Camberwell or Peckham or Brockley is going to mistake Goose Green for Washington Square Park. Neither are they going to fail to notice the flats in The Tribeca cost about 20 per cent more than what Zoopla says is the going rate for their postcode.

A story on how more and more homeowners are extending rather than selling and moving, and which mentions ED as the UK's location where homeowners are most likely to consider an extension


The second story seems unreliable hot hair, as 'likely to consider' doesn't mean much, plus it was all based on a survey by an online architecture service, which residents of the Royal Borough and other super prime areas are maybe less likely to use anyway.


The first one is IMHO more interesting.

    • Rose who used to run Grace and Favour has a wonderful shop called Butlers Emporium on george Street in Hastings You'll find it on instagram as butlersemporium3  
    • And from what I remember, she eventually cut the tea shop for a similar  reason to chandelier.  Chariot style buggies
    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣
    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
