Oh right i see, was it the bureau for the Liberal Democrats Mural Defacement Scheme ...LDMDS Regiment for short. Hopefully someone wrapped their rollers round their heads before they dropped them from the 2nd floor window. Maybe they would have had a vision of their own as they hurtled towards the tarmac.

It's been a long miserable time for those close at hand.


I shall feel free to pass by without harassment.


Big hugs to all those who have survived to see a change for the better in the locality.


One small improvement for the area, a HUGE difference for the long suffering neighbours.


'Hooray' there is a God working for Southwark after all!

I sincerely hope not CWALD. In fact I know they aren't (unless through their own volition)... As I understand it, it may not have been the ideal resolution, simply been rehoused but not getting any more help than they did before. I may be wrong but that's my understanding.


Next on the list are my neighbours who hang their meat from the kitchen window as they dont have a fridge and love their pet cockroaches just the way they are thank you very much.....

Chav, put your red/green flag down. Those people were in need of help and were a complete and utter pain in the arse. I had them jeer at me whenever I walked past in my shorts on the way to or from the gym. I've seen them acting malevolently and without regard for anyone else on buses, and seen them shouting, drinking, swearing and generally behaving very badly in their ex-home. I don't want them on the streets but if they are able to buy booze, string sentences together and understand that they are being purposely beligerent, they should at least understand that their behaviour has caused their eviction.

Rest assured - The family is getting all the help they need. They all have roofs over their heads and are even in nicer accommodation than they were previously. Measures have been taken to prevent its members from causing harm to themselves or others. The very specific needs of each and every family member have been identified and solutions provided.


The problem has certainly not been moved on to someone else - absolutely not. Saying that is an insult to both the council's staff who have done a wonderful job and neighbours who have been patient enough to wait until a solution acceptable to everyone was found.


The family has not been evicted and are certainly not sleeping in cardboard boxes. Everybody involved - residents and former residents of Whateley Road - are all now much better off.

Not doubting anyone on here, but I walk up and down that road all the time and have never had a peep out of these people. Anyway, glad the residents are happy now, and glad they've been moved to pastures new. Feel slightly sorry for the next resident of the property, as I think they'll struggle to meet the approval of some of their neighbours whoever they are!

    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • 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. These Argentinian cornish pasties are 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.
