On the upside thousands and thousands of people have made great memories of amazing days in London?s beautiful parks listening to music that they love with friends and family


I reckon that?s a good thing (and that almost always reasonable steps are taken to consider local people, but you can?t please all the people all the time)

How?s that ?evident??


Because everyone in the immediate vicinity of the rye is still ravaged and could never accept inevitable reality?


You?re right on the rye i assume?

Ah right, that?s ok then. As long as you had fun, who cares about the neighbours.


And pk, I don?t live directly next to the Rye no, but I can be empathetic towards people who have concerns. Ever heard of that word empathy? I know it?s a swear word to most in the 21st century.


Louisa.

That?s really pathetic

Alas I can't say I canvassed every house for opinion (perhaps next year) - but as a very sociable bit of street with a lot a neighbours who know, chat and socialise with each other on a day to day basis - I can report that nobody I know was RAVAGED. A few said they wished they'd got tickets. A few said they wished they were younger, or didn't have young kids, so they could have got tickets. Some went out for the day and did something else. Some were a bit grumbly but ended up at "ah well" and moved on. A few said 'our kids are going, hope it's good'. They're generally an empathetic lot, I expect they simply extended some of that empathy in the general direction of the park for a day or two. You should give it a go.


However.. I will be sure to let them all know that someone who doesn't even live nearby was determined to get in a tiresome stew about it on their behalf - for internet kicks.

Good points Nigello although I hope that we do not go the way of other boroughs in terms of the volume of events in future (no pun intended).

Ravaged! Depressing! Terrible!


Classic stuff. Straight out the Daily Mail!


The individuals problem's are about a lot more than a tame music festival happening 2 days out of 365 with a finishing time of 10pm, they are with the world and life itself. Whilst quite sad, it is also a source of amusement.

Dont have too much audio, lighting or indeed fun, or else there'll be a thread about you on this forum come Monday morning.

    • 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.
