Mark & Paul

greta idea,


hhhmmmm i will have to start thinking... also much careful consideration into what I mean by 'best' ie if nomination for restaurant,

value for money,

food,

service,

atmosphere,

people,

owner,

interior,

best credit crunch offer... etc


wonder what we all mean by 'best'... will be interested to find out!!!

Most Child Friendly Place


So, should this be renamed "Best school"?


Best newcomer (in the last 2 years)


Can anyone maybe come up with a list of newcomers within the last 2 years? I can think of The Magnolia, The "new" Plough (not sure if that will count, but it is basically as different from the old plough as the magnolia is from the magdalla, or even more so), Locale, +venture, White Stuff...


I can't really think of any others, The Black Cherry, Licorice, and Green & Blue are all over 2 years aren't they?

Seriously Keef? Off the top of my head... ED Warehouse, Green Cuisine, Foxtons, Dream Machine, Hoopers, the new curry place, Lucas bakery, Mrs Robinson boutique, The Lodge, Davina shoes, Magnolia, Locale, Balfes Bikes, ESPH, Franklins Deli (at least I think they're newcomers but I can check). There's bound to be more but of course if you don't have a favourite newcomer then don't nominate one when the time comes.

I never siad I didn't want to play, I just couldn't think of lots off the top of my head. I've never heard of a couple of those, and was sure places like Mrs Robinson boutique had been there longer, and Hoopers is in Peckham, but that has been discussed.


Can't believe I didn't think of Dream Machine though.


Can you clarify if The Plough will count? Completely redecorated, and new owners, feels as much like a "new" pub as the mag does... That said, if it was included I'd be torn between the two.

Great categories.


Me and the missus have had a shot at picking ours. One thing that did come out of that was that we had differing views on what was the intended answer for Best Customer Service Experience - was it to be a particular shop / bar / person or was it a specific experience at a specific time when someone in one of these places did something superlative in the field of customer service (e.g. the missus remembers someone on a stall in NCR nattering to her mother for 15 mins once)?

If too many people interpreted it as the latter, we thought that it would be difficult to pick a winner.


Do we need clarification on that one?

Hi Karter, we did think about "Best Dressed Window Display" but not all shops have a dressed window display (but they all have a front), "Best Shop Front" gives more shops the opportunity to be included in the awards.


And yes bossboss, we're aiming to get flyers/posters out to the nominees where possible, raising sponsorship will help us achieve this and make as many people aware if it as possible.


And re: Hoopers, as mentioned in the original thread about the awards, "the border will be SE22/East Dulwich, we have to draw a line somewhere and the SE22 border seems like the most obvious way to do it ... but we would consider moving it based on nominations received."

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
