i couldn't agree more with the references to paris, NY etc... and all these ideas but the culture here in the UK is completely different. having family on the continent i can vouch that parisian cafe culture opens its' doors to everyone (except, ironically the push chair)revellers home from a late night, business breakfast>lunch, the post school crowd (can't see anyone tolerating that in ED, they have enough problems with toddlers and babies), dinner set and back to the night time crowd. i have never really witnessed this in the UK: where cafes are like a local living room.


good luck nico, i'm intrigued to see what you open. my advice is just do what you think is best, you seem to have a pretty clear idea in your head already.

Having watched a lot of Deadwoord lately, I would like it done up like The Gem, with lots of whiskey, card tables, and a brothel upstairs... Just so long as you as the owner don't take to cutting the locals throats when they get out of hand, that might attract the authorities.
Something with a rustic feel would be really nice. Lots of old wine bottles with candles dripping down, mood lighting, some exposed brick work, wine in pitchers, old wooden tables. Somewhere with a lovely relaxed feeling, rather than a swanky bar.

    • No, we'd have to be in a police state.  You'd have to get this made law.  Unless it is in Reform's policies.  I'll check. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/live-facial-recognition-technology-to-catch-high-harm-offenders Not government policy
    • 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 🙄
    • Not quite the same, but I  was always bemused by the name of Streatham Common Station, which is a lot further away from the common than Streatham Station is. I recently found out that when it was first built it was called Greyhound Lane Station, and then with various changes of road names etc  over the years became Streatham Common Station. Which still doesn't explain it, but is quite interesting (I think, anyway!).
    • Thanks, I'll try. I don't think I'm near to renewal, but they may do something as I've been with them for so long, if I say I'll look elsewhere at renewal if they don't!  What difference does the line speed make? Does it affect the signal at various points through the house? When I changed to fibre, the guy who installed it really resisted having the router where it had been before, at the back of the house,  presumably because it would have been a lot more work for him having to run wires through, over doors etc? At the time I was working at the front as my office at the back had become so dark (adjacent loft extension) so I wasn't too bothered, but I've since moved back. I've got those plug in extension things, but the WiFi at the back is now sometimes quite iffy, particularly the printer, which is annoying.
