[Voyageur]

Should we dress our age? Damn - was trying to avoid the beige ensemble.

"past the pluvera and yam shops, across the road to the afro hair shop, up past the piss smelling Cineplex and keep on going to the top. Oh and be careful for the shank wielding yoot in the shadows"

Woody, you are a true master of words. You were able to be offensive about so many with so few.

One paper (The Independent?) described a visit to Franks as urban deprivation tourism...

[Voyageur]

Link please? For those of us who don't know what the neck you are all talking about? Ta.

Nice follow on post after "airlifted from Williamsburg" on the increasing colonisation.

That train has pretty much sealed the deal.

Here's an "It girl" e-zine hailing the New Dalston: http://email.sheerluxe.com/q/1bBDknDu60flIbf4VdL/wv

Not sure The Rye counts as a hot spot but its a start....

Far from "sharp edge of" this was already tired cliches on the forum in 2006, they were just plain old cliches in Brixton in 1996. In fact some of these were tired in 1986!!

Apart from some of them which are just common or garden old memes, and a few which are just plain old world moving on.

Jay Rayner is fair enough though ;)

"Photographers everywhere"

sign of gentrification or sign of ubiquity of the technology thanks to China?

which brings to mind this while we're at it...

Is it on the wrong side of the railroad track from the Copeland Cultural Quarter?

Marina O'Loughlin has been tweeting today about her Peckham "safari", and mentioned a very well known (Persepolis) shop as one of her first Peckham "discoveries".

This sort of language annoys me.

NB Although she's been in the Refreshment Rooms and Begging Bowl, she makes sure to mention that she likes Rye Lane too.

[woodrot]

I have no idea who that woman is, but I guess she writes for some kind of living.did she use "vibrant" "edgy" and " mashup" ? Peckhams ethic meat shops are well mexico - unless you have to actually eat the stuff day in day out because you have no choice

another poverty tourist name etched my black book of enemies of the state once the revolution comes.

oh yes. the list is growing.
