That just made me spit out my Caffe Verona!


I've never had an American offer me a coffee and then put the kettle on...........

Bizarre question! Why would anyone need / want another chain coming into the area?

Chains are a watchword for mediocaty. Is there word on the street that there is another mediocre coffee chain coming to blight Lordship Lane?


One caveat...if an estate agent were to close and a coffee chain were to open, there would be few tears shed, I would hazard...Suggesting that everything is relative...

If Verona's your preference you might as well stick the kettle on and have a Maxwell House. Starbucks is the most depressing experience a coffee drinker can have!

Quite. Vietnamese drip coffees all round.

    • For reasons not worth going into, I am looking for a Jean Michel Jarre vinyl record that has Rendez Vous 4 and Magnetic Fields 2 on - so probably a greatest hits version. Cheers
    • This is my second recommendation for Leon of Electrical Initiative. He came today to fit two LED light fittings to my flat. No easy task as the wiring is about 30 years old, and the kitchen wiring was connected to the bathroom lights (for some reason). So the job was partially repairing my botched removal of the old strip-light fitting. "That's not so bad," said Leon, as he climbed his ladder and fitted a little connector and soon had the bathroom light back, then he fitted the new kitchen Lepre, and then the one in the living room. All in less than an hour. Thank you Leon!
    • We have had lots of young foxes in our street this year, very cute. We haven't been subject to them Shi**ing all over our garden as our dog owner neighbours have. They seem to be marking their territory. They were quite fond of my car roof (soft top) I boiled up some garlic and regularly spray my roof, it keeps them at bay and my car smelling like roast garlic mmmmm🫢
    • Highly recommend Andy (Andyman services). Really good communication, punctual, reliable and very personable. He did a really neat siliconing job in our bathroom. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. Andy - 07564194363
