*Pootles in, rather enjoying new name*


*Lovely weekend with EDF pals, feel really quite chilled and its a late Monday afternoon*


*Wiggles nose and a yummy Mojito bursts into being*


*Wiggles nose again and Mrs Dobbin appears, with halter and donkey-sized maternity bra*


*Goes for stroll with Mrs Dobbin in the sunlit uplands of the Quite Rooms grounds*

*Wanders back in, looking vaguely shifty and dishevelled*


*Mrs Dobbin follows. Anybody looking closely would have spotted the old Apache trick of somebody walking behind the donkey, in step with the hind legs*


*Starts to whistle tunelessly yet with extreme innocence*

**** gathers missing asterisks, makes party decorations out of them, strings them across the quiet room and starts mixing bloody marys *

* muses as to whether should add some dragons breath blood *


* offers BB a non-pokey bloody mary as a welcome gift, waves bottle of chilli around, go onnnn *

Stands up and walks to waste paper bin, drops tattered tassles.


Thanks Mr PaleProctologist, but whispers that perhaps will not be dressing up on this occasion, although would rather like a "cat woman" suit. Takes out copy of Woolworths catalogue from enormous handbag and starts to browse...

*enters into being from a single point in time-space with a slight fwiiipp! noise*

*crawls under a blanket and sleeps fitfully*

*probably shouldn't have stopped in at the seepy tea on the way home last night for that last drink*

*possibly shouldn't have had whisky*

*admits it may have been the pint of Doom Bar at the very beginning of the night that did it*

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
