Must say that it's the riding and doing wheelies on the pavement that irked me. Don't really care if they don't wear a helmet and get themselves killed as long as they don't hurt anyone else. At best they'd make an organ doner.


Chavs ... judging by their attire and demeanour they didn't seem to be particularly smart or sensible and they all seemed too white to be playing east coast gangsta in south london.

Yes the were white and pasty, but I wouldn't go as far as saying they looked like the working kind. I am of a port and rig upbringing, so hardly anything gets under my skin more than chichiness. Acutally ... those kids did.

If anyone has video footage of yummy mummies on Lambrettas doing noisy wheelies, please... er... PM me... (rubs thighs Vic Reeves-style)

So riding up the pavements on dirt bikes, doing wheelies is 'working class'. You are a terrible snob.

Absolutely Otta. Riding on the pavement is indefensible on every level. But the tone of this root persons second and third post in particular is pushing unnecessary boundaries with racial and social stereotypes. Interestingly, I was the questioned. Bizarre sometimes this forum is.

    • Nice to see the property is going to reopen with a Newish business, good luck to them.
    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
