Agreed, an inspirational human being, whose fight for justice made this world a better place.



?Let bygones be bygones. Let what has happened pass,? he said upon release, rejecting any suggestions of violent revenge. ?Take your knives and your guns and throw them into the sea,? he told his followers.

RIP Nelson Mandela.


What a privilege to have lived when this great man lived.


I hope his legacy can continue in all of us.


Hope Not Hate have opened a book of condolence which will be open for five days and then be delivered to the South African Embassy. What does Nelson Mandela mean to you? http://action.hopenothate.org.uk/mandela-tribute

Mother Teresa doesn't belong on this list. Very misguided person. RIP Mandella though.


I came face to face with NM once. I had a boyfriend who lived in Muswell Hill. I was on my way to my BF's house and I saw Nelson Mandella walking from a house to a car. I stood and stared and eventually said hello and he smiled and got in the car. It was an extraordinary moment. You don't expect to come across a legend in a London suburb. I told my boyfriend and he said, oh yeah, there's an ANC guy with a house in my street.

    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
