> The Shed/the Shelf/North Bank Higbury


I was in the North Bank in 1990 when we (the gooners) were playing you (the twats) and there was a small group of about 8 people in the North Bank lower tier who broke into a song:


West Ham in the North Bank

West Ham in the North Bank

TA LA LA LAAA


Please tell me it was not you.



[Oh and by the way you do not have to call it the North Bank "Highbury" - we all know where the fecking North Bank is.........]

The Barley Lea? The Farmstead? Or the perils of Whitworth Avenue? Or a mere dalliance near Macbeth's chippy on Acorn Street?


As someone raised on this estate I am intrigued (but not offended - I did grow up there)... when and where Citizen?

I took a mate of mine from Essex (Billericay) there for a beer once as it was the only place still open late in SE5 on a Bank Holiday Monday, he was a good looking lad and soooooooooo Essex, so it was quite fun.

The first night I moved in to a residential training place for my job, we all went out and got drunk and got to know each other.


Later that night I half drunk, half sleep walked in to another blokes room, and tried to get in to bed with him.


He was afraid... VERY afraid.

I was out with a (female) gay student from the art college for her 21st. The pubs had shut, so she took us there... I went for a wee at one point, and the loos were an intimidating place.


I have never finished a pint and left a place so quickly!

    • 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...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
