I can't agree that take-outs shouldn't be responsible for the litter on surrouding streets. It's not a chav thing, I think it applies equally to Seacow and SlippyChicken, as it does to KebabSlop. It should also apply to Wrigley's and Fags-u-like for sponsorship of street cleaners.


Clearing up after the punters is a cost-of-doing-business for restaurateurs, and if they choose to use the high street as their dining-area they don't get to duck the clear-up costs.


It would take no more than an hour to cover the roads within 400 yards and pick up the mess; at whatever today's min wage is that's not exactly breaking the bank. Get the cleaner in an hour earlier.

What I can't figure out is why some of the letters in Lick'n chick'n are missing and some aren't. I sat there across the road waiting for my bus trying to figure it out.


I also was looking at the sign wondering about the name. I mean is it me or is there something vaguely R rated about the name?


Scylla

I wondered if they just got it wrong and meant it to be " lickin' " instead of " lick'n " which is frankly preposterous, but they didn't know how to spell it


it does however inspire me to say it out loud in an equally preposterous voice every time I walk past


does Charybdis lurk in Kebab and Wine would you say, or perhaps if you were navigating the tricky line between the dangers of chavdom (Lick'n Chick'n) and clamphamdom, she may be found in the White Stuff. Have I stretched this analogy too far?

    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.
