One christmas, I pressed my cold, snotty nose up against the steamed up windows of Pauls on Pall Mall and gazed upon the sleek well fed clientle enjoying its succulent offerings. a short omnibus ride later, I was enjoying tepid eels and mash in SE15. I know where I would sooner eat.

Now ease up StraferJ, I reckon Dd is just having a bit of an off day is all.


Over 60% of his/her posts show a gift for trenchant observation concerning the local scene and pinpoint satire about some building with old stuff in it.


I reckon Dd's gotten all hyperbolic 'cause of too much coffee and will appreciate the irony of the caffine (sic) theme park notion when the jitters subside.

Right with you Woodie, in betwixt the two, and it falls twixt 'em is Rock Steady Eddies Camberwell caff, that'd be the spot.


Though I've not been there for a two-stretch or thereabouts (The reason? I recall a cold wintry interlude, a faulty door which allowed gusty ingress and my Dobie Gray-like propensity for drifting away). However I'll renew my acquaintance with Sol et al and let you know if the double sausage, double egg and chips is still as plentiful and qualitous as I was accustomed to, the tea as teeth-coating tanniny as before and the bottled Fanta the few degrees above room temperature it needs to be to accompany the scran while the builders' cools a little.


If not tomorrow then Friday.


Stand on me.

    • The permission covers two properties, the retail unit and a first floor flat, so it is in part already a residential building. There appears nothing in the documents to suggest change of use, which I don't think would be classed as 'minor' which this is. 
    • That's interesting. I assumed it wasn't going to stay as a retail unit, given the years of ongoing work. I assumed it was going to be either an extension to the mosque or a residential building.
    • Brexit - but not simply the act of leaving the EU, as damaging as that is in and of itself But everything around it. - the madness of "taking back control", "they need us more than we need them", the increase in volume and extremity of lies required to get it over the line, the clear denial of reality - all of that has led to the current situation where parties of left and right can win huge majorities and find out the beast of anti-immigration can never be sated the course correction involves acknowledging as a country that we need immigration and lots of it (related: acknowledge we aren't as special case when it comes to asylum and refugees - other countries take proportionally more)  We need to be part of the EU. Climate change in and of itself will see global increase in migrations - we need to be building systems that welcome and accommodate the future - not stick our heads in the sand like hobbits  If we don't collectively agree around this then the descent into authoritarian right-wing madness will continue
    • We are certainly better as a country than implementing the latest vile proposals from Mahmood  about seizing immigrants' jewellery https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/nov/17/refugees-jewellery-asylum-home-office?CMP=share_btn_url
