Nero,


Whilst you are not missing out on anything special by not going into Le Moulin (unless you count having your vegetables dished up for you, after your main has arrived as special) I wouldn't go out of your way. Come to think of it that style of service is rather special...


However, I've said it before, the Guinness in The Castle is excellent, if that is your tipple of choice.


Places I've never been:


Any bookies

Amusement arcade

The bathroom/sink/tap shop

Jojomamanbebeetcetc

any of the greasy spoons

the weird little basement shop underneath one of the greasy spoons, next to The Palmerston

The Irish Shop

Most of the Chemists / pharmacies

The Eco Shop

Speedo Pizza

The Gun Shop

The Mexican Restaurant

Inside 72

All of the curry houses except for Tandoori nights (once - never again. Quite poor and over priced).

The Hi-fi shop


There must be more...


E2A:


Blue Mountain

Chandelier

Foxtons

Dominos pizza

All of the shops on Grove Vale, except the jerk chicken shop and the afro barbers.

There are loads of key ED establishments I've never been in :-$


Green & Blue

Franklins

The Plough

Chener Books

Tandoori Nights

The Irish Shop

Mrs Robinson

Moxons

Any of the kids shops/maternity type places

The drum


Places I've only ever been in once:

ED Deli - ?3.50 for a loaf of bread. Say no more...

Dr Boo - too many free beauty products from work to buy any more

The weird little basement shop under the Palmerston

Blue Brick Cafe - Nero go there for breakfast. I thought it was good, suitably unponcy and the portions were decent

Inside 72 - damn I felt cool

Sea Cow


I really want to go to the vintage shop on Upland Rd. Used to live round the corner so not sure why I never went in


There's a gun shop Horsebox??

embellina, yes there is a gun shop. I think it's on the same block as Moxons, Franklins etc. It's more of an antique weaponry shop but calling it a gun shop has a more startling effect;-)


and ????, how do you know that these places are overrated and overpriced if you have never been in them, hmmm?

Oh dear, I seem to have gone in most places except for half the hairdressers, the slightly weird looking chemist/health/new age shop near Raylons, and the radio shop with the charming red & white fence, Inside 72, The Castle and The Vale and the Constitution Club and to date have only patronised one curry house (this will be amended).


I have danced a quickstep with a leprechaun inside St Thomas More Hall. Honest.

You're never too old, Gerrard. Besides, looks like the place is selling up so go try it while you can.

    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here. 
    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
