Try Cheltenham / Tunbridge Wells / Harrogate - all likely to meet all your requirements.

I haven't heard of Tikka Max before, but if its another Indian restaurant, then no we don't.

I think the poster meant TK Maxx - does discounted, end of range clothes and household stuff. There's one in Brixton, but they are big and wharehouse like, so no space for one in ED.

But between you, thanks for the laugh :)

How about the police station site? great for a Tikka Maxx LOL

[Rianoo]

Something reasonably priced would a good start - anything.

[bvpainter]

There is a very good art shop at Camberwell Green.

[bvpainter]

They were so rude in there, and highly priced. No wonder it closed.

[OAKIE95]

I don't understand what the issue with people from Clapham is, there seems to be some kind of prejudice against them on here....it doesn't really lend anything to the thread does it?

[DulwichFox]

I used to go to Clapham. ( yonks ago )There was a pub called The Two Brewers and there were bands there on various nights.

Sunday was the best night.

The Late Steve Waller was a regular I seem to remember???

Just don't mention PENGE... you'd really be in for it then!

[KidKruger]

bvpainter - where's the art shop at Camberwell Green ??

I've seen some materials in the 99p shop in the mall there but that's all.

[lietoswim]

A rather posh looking jewellers has opened up on Northcross rd - at the top near Barry Rd before you get to Rye Books. I bet they would be glad of your custom.

[KidKruger]

No, I need acrylics and thickening / pouring solutions.

R.I.P. indeed.

[Jessie]

http://www.cowlingandwilcox.com/art/aboutus.aspx cowling and Wilcox, near the post office and HSBC kid Kruger. It's a fab art supplies shop.

[DiD]

Whatever it needs, it DOESN'T need any chain stores. Puhlease.

[KidKruger]

Jessie - cheers, didn't know about that shop at all !! Will check out ASAP.

Sue - fact or fiction !!0

Crikey, I had to go back pages to see what you were talking about.

Did you mean this?

If so - well, reading it again I suppose they weren't a collective, though the same people always seemed to be there and it felt like one!!

And people including Nyge and I did contribute to the rent when they were short of money towards the end.....

They certainly bought and sold records, music-related books and stuff, and I guess would have swapped things if you'd asked, they were so laid-back as to be horizontal.

And they definitely had the occasional gig, not that you could fit many people into such a tiny space.

Oh the many happy hours sitting swigging Stella from Boss Man (or if feeling flush a pint from the Palmerston) and listening to interesting music :)

I miss just being able to drop in and always see people I knew, it was like being a student again .....

[KidKruger]

Sorry Sue, I meant Otta's comment about the biscuits..

"Ah The Dream Machine, disco biscuits sold from a tin behind the counter. class. "

[KidKruger]

Although yeah I used to hang out a bit down there with John and daughter.

[Jeremy]

Sue - sarcasm detector a bit rusty, perhaps.
