Urgh. All we need now is for them to call it 'Ollie's on the Lordship' and satire is officially dead. 

I did wonder whether the copy had been written by AI.

It seems remarkably close to this ad from 'Zoolander'.

Just wanted to shout out a really great new coffee place on Upland Road next to Eric’s bakery. 
 

It’s called Aroma Lab and the owner is so lovely. Super knowledgeable about coffee and it’s definitely the best coffee I’ve had locally. Worth a visit if you want to support a new local business.

Sounds, and looks, more like an errant and indulged teenage son who backpacked through south east Asia and visited Jim Thompson's house. 

Probably came home with dreads, piercings and a Thai script tattoo that he was told represented 'One Love', but actually spells out 'I Am A Massive Farang Twat'.

The latter is quite a common thing.

 

They really should have added 'Fuckwittery is Ollie's House'. 'Ollie is a fuckwit'

 

🤣 

After a horrible very long day at work I came home..read this post and laughed out loud....thank you!

Pricey - did not go to Megan's due to price. Love Dulwich and Chen are better value.

We made the error of visiting the one in Dulwich just after it opened...you missed nothing.

I dont mind paying a bit more for something decent but honestly it was one of the most underwhelming badly cooked meals I've eaten,  with an accompnayment of awful muzak and dire dire service .

really overpriced too I agree.

the fruit & vegetable merchant Taylor's of Maltby Street will be opening in Dulwich Village after all. 

I went in here the other day. The fruit is all really good - ripe and fresh. They also sell good bread (and croissants and pastries) from a independent bakery, the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦

The prices (which are marked) are not cheap but they are fair imo. Comparable to the specialist fruit shop on Lordship Lane (Brothers?) for really good quality. It's similar prices to Simply Fresh - but Simply Fresh's fruit and veg is very poor. Beaten about and tasteless. Sainsbury's is certainly cheaper.

IMVHO they're a good addition to the Dulwich Village "retail offer".

Anyone have any idea what might be happening with 104 Lordship Lane, next to Kanella? Looks like it might have been let, and some refitting/redecorating being done - just curious.

Another estate agents.

Seconded, lovely coffee and much better than Eric's, which is great for bakery stuff but bad and expensive for coffee

There is a sign outside what was Megan's saying that whatever is replacing it will have an "all day concept."

What the (expletive deleted) is an "all day concept", and how does it differ from being open all day?

For (expletive deleted)'s sake 🙄

    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.  
    • Some suggestions for mandatory action might include:- 1. Permit retailers to display facial images on the premises  of previous offenders at their local store. 2. Sound an alert and display images on screens inside the store when the FR flags up a person entering who is on the national database of shoplifters. 3. Physically bar recognised shoplifters from the premises. Should they attempt to force entry then charges should be pressed under aggravated trespass, which  a criminal offence under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. 4. Change the law to allow retailers to have enhanced powers of citizens arrest. What would you suggest? The UK seems to have the most lenient policy towards shoplifting , probably because of other demands on the police force. On the plus side, they may have more time for it now that non-crime hate incidents will no longer be investigated. Other countries, such as the USA have much more sever punishment as does Singapore where repeat offenders or aggravated cases can be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison, a fine, or both.
