if you think that's harsh, wait till Snorky finds out about the restaurant's fleet of branded minis.

I thought that HonaloochieB's post was pretty funny (and assumed that it was intended to be so)

*bursts in breathless with excitement, beaming and full of fresh juicy gossip*


Iknowiknowiknowiknowiknowiknowiknow!


I just ambushed the new owners as they were leaving on their matching scooters (ah, cute)


It's going to be *drum roll* an independent Italian serving home-cooked food with their own pasta and bread made on the premises. Opening in 7 weeks.


I'll certainly give them a try when they open.

Well it'll be almost impossible to keep me away from the place. I've just thrown a brick with a note wrapped round it over the hoarding beggingfor a table on the opening night.

And if they're willing to flog me a table I might have some of their fancy bread an' all.

I have to disagree Sean - I've only been the once but I thought the food was excellent... if the food in this new place is anywhere near as good it will be a great addition to the ED area... Obviously this is just my opinion!

not just your opinion Ally - most people on here seem to love Si Mangia so It's me in the minority. But having tried 3 different Italian staples I can't believe people haven't had better examples elsewhere.


A ragu sauce should be deep, dark and meaty whereas I found theirs light and overly sweet. Which people may prefer but I doubt many Italians genuinely favour the latter


Maybe I've been unlucky - another trip to Si Mangia for me then...

Go to the city airport

Jump on a cheap flight to rome

Try to find a restaurant that serves only OK food

See you in about two years


The pizzas in rome are thin, light, crispy, and delicious everywhere.

We should rename whatever it is they serve up here masquerading under the name of pizza.

Alternatively, go to Grissini on Abbeville Rd, Clapham. Probably the best Italian grub in Saaarf London. Having said that though I love Si Mangia too!

I agree with SeanMacGabhann, I think Si Mangia is OK, but the food is nothing that special in my opinion. I had a pasta dish too, and found the sauce was rather bland... in fact I prefer my own homemade sauce. Maybe it's just ignorance on my part, but if that is the case, so be it!

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
