Yet another kid got stabbed....well, three to be precise....check out the BBC News site.

I got caught in that traffic last night on my motorbike - it was a right pain in the @rse!


had to go all the way up to Surrey quays to find a route back round to the safety of ED! - the Cops had closed off all the roads....feel sorry for you if you were stuck in a car.


was speaking to a cab driver last night and he was telling me that it was causing problems as far back as cov garden!

I just can't get my head around how a 15/16 year old could just happily take the life of another kid.


One of the worst ones I heard was a year or so ago when an asian kid was literally beaten and kicked to death in the middle of the afternoon in a subway tunnel of a shopping centre (not Elephant & Castle). The most shocking thing was that there were about 40-50 teenagers all there recording it on their phones and stuff, and no one did anything to try and stop it!


Remember his parents saying they'd just moved to the area because they thought it would be a nice safe place for him.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
