Moxon's Next Door Opens Tomorrow

[Sue]

Went last night and enjoyed it. Excellent food and wine.

Won't be able to afford to go again for some time though. It was a birthday (not mine).

They very kindly put a candle on the lemon tart and gave us complimentary glasses of dessert wine.

The place was full, on a Tuesday night, and everybody seemed to be having a good time.

The service was friendly. They deserve to do well and I'm sure they will.

ETA: Oh, and having read the post above, nobody appeared to be looking at anybody else. No more than anywhere else, anyway. What a weird idea.

ETA again: Ignore the ETA above, as Redjam rightly points out below, I hadn't properly read the previous post - duh. sorry.

[redjam]

Um, I think binkyliliput was sarcastically responding to Louisa's bonkers post upthread, Sue.

[robbin]

Yes Sue, but the 'elite' are like that - they make out like they are not watching and judging you, but in reality...

... and don't get me started on the hysteria - walking up Lordship Lane last night the atmosphere of hysteria was palpable. It would really have been quite disturbing for any of ED's few intelligent, decent, ethical residents who might have been passing by. The sight of the usual dim-witted poseurs jostling to be 'seen' getting ice cream next door to Moxons nearly put me off my gravel broth supper and would have deterred any right minded individual from venturing any further up LL to Moxons.

What actual planet do you live on?

[binkylilyput]

"gravel broth supper"!!

Just spat my tea out laughing at that

[Zebedee Tring]

Oh for the good old days before all these poseurs arrived in ED and you could have a good old fashioned punch up in one of them boozers in LL before having a chin wag with Mad Frankie Fraser in the hairdressers in North Cross Road. Frankie was cruel but he was fair.

The real world planet, you know the one most people who on this forum have no clue about?

Louisa.

People like you don?t live in the real world. If you genuinely believe some residents don?t attend these places for attention seeking purposes then you?re more ridiculous than I initially gave you credit for. ?Decent intelligent ethical residents?, get over yourself robbin. Full of BS as usual.

Louisa.

[Abe_froeman]

who are they seeking the attention from?

[Louisa]

I?ve covered this topic before. Not everyone does it, some people just want a meal out. But it does seem that a disproportionate number of local residents enjoy the limelight of a new restaurant opening, including being sat in visible view of passers-by. Sorry if that?s offensive.

Louisa.

Yeh, sorry, you're right. I read it too quickly, but if I edit my post again to take the original edit out, your post won't make sense :))

Yes, you have. At great bloody length.

So why do you feel the need to start again with your ridiculous posts every time a new place opens?

I don't know why you bother to stay in East Dulwich when you seem to hate the people who live here so much.

Not to worry, there?s already a lot of posts on this thread that don?t make sense :)

[flocker spotter]

if you get the letters that make up East Dulwich, mix them about a bit , add some and take others away, you get Puerto Banus. Or Monte Carlo. either really

[Abe_froeman]

I don't think you can actually see who is inside Moxon's next door as a passer by though?

[Louisa]

Excuse me Sue, someone else raised this issue, not me.

Actually, numerous people did.

Why is it so uncomfortable for some on here to admit their attention seeking? No one is saying it?s a bad thing per se, but admitting it shouldn?t be a problem. Anyway, hope you enjoyed your meal.

I will be heading off to McDonalds later and couldn?t two hoots who?s looking at me whilst I tuck into my Big Mac and chips.

Louisa.

[Abe_froeman]

you can definitely see who is inside mcdonalds. they even seats by the window facing the street so you can catch people's attention at eye level.

Ah yes. Would that be your mate Dulwich Fox's charming post on page 2 of the thread?

"There will be the Usual E.D. Elite reporting back after their expensive experience at this new venue.

There were a few local business owner 'Faces' when I walked past last night at 10.30pm

Other eateries are available in the area."

Nice post on a thread started by the restaurant owners, wasn't it?

Can't see anything else "raised" until your post on page 3: "But as Foxy hinted at previously, I shall wait for the usual ED hysteria to die back a bit. I?ll allow the ED elite to partake in some ?look at me? antics before I venture in."

[jimbo1964]

I want to go but waiting until the local paparazzi are around to snap me as I go in (so will probably be waiting for some time).

[Sue]

:))

[Louisa]

Sue please just stop this. It?s beyond funny now.

I?m not suggesting you went along just to be seen, but what I would add is that you could have waited like most people do 2/3 months in before you booked a table. Why book one now when you know it?s fresh and everyone is watching you go in? That?s all I?m saying. If you enjoy the publicity and the limelight thatsfair enough, own it. Don?t shy away and accuse me of being strange for having that opinion of people.

Louisa.

[Sue]

Because it was my partner's birthday and he wanted to go there as it was a new place we had never been to before.

You really are beyond parody.

ETA: Who is this "everyone" watching people go in? FFS. For some reason the word "Troll" keeps springing to mind, I can't think why.

[alice]

If ?most people? wait 2/3 months before trying something nothing new would survive.

[Sue]

Good point!

Rather than just admit that some people do visit certain establishments to be seen doing so, you have to accuse me of trolling. It?s pathetic Sue.

Some people like attention seeking, nothing wrong with that. Personally, I?d rather pop in when all the fuss has died back.

Louisa.
