I could see the HEMS dr's at the scene when I came by just before 9am - was going down the other way. Think once they've stabilised the patients and whizzed them over the hill the road will open again fairly quickly = there was a recovery lorryh there already. Hope whoever it is is ok - know they'll get best poss care.
I got caught up in that; had to get out of my bus and walk past just as all the police/fire/ambulance types were arriving. Didn't want to look too much but what I saw didn't look good - looks as if someone went under a lorry. Loads of sirens, emergency people rushing about with a 'this is bad' expression on their faces. Not nice at all.

The cozzers were appealing for witnesses and stopped me in me motor whilst I was leaving my house for work this morning! I guess the accident must have been nasty and they were just taping the road off.


Imagine asking me though! As if I am gonna bleat to the filth!

I realised who this was this weekend. The guy lived just over the road from me. The most friendly neighbour we have he always had time to stop and chat and was just the sort of guy that made ED the friendly community that makes me love to live here. I'm sure they'll be plenty of other locals who knew him well and will miss him. All my sympathy to Emma and the boys.

Nutty


the funeral was today. It was a big turnout I must say and most of us were in tears. His grandfather collapsed and died of grief this morning on his way to the church father Charles at Goose green told. Its weird how things turn out. Stephen was a great guy and we chatted loads and walked around together as I live a stones throw away too.Emma is expecting a third child. Best wishes to her. She has plenty of love and support around her.

    • 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.
