What happened?

Highly recommend Balfe's for servicing, they do a great job with my old bike, which I wouldn't trust Evans with. Evans are useful if you need clothes/accessories etc right away, as they have a wide range of stock in (and they do a LCC discount) but if I can wait I buy online, will usually be cheaper.

The Tiger Tea tea man is on the market today. He is only there once a month.


Lovely fellow. Bought some English Breakfast with Assam blend.


Ok does not sound very exciting but already have some Orange Ceylon Pekoe and some Gunpowder Green Tea.


Delightful.

Now look, no one minds this constant referring to yourself in the third person (after all, everyone who considers themselves a 'real character' does it don't they?) but at least be consistent would you please?

Apropos not very much, I do like this from the legend that is Chris Hoy:

Chris Hoy thinks that the day Chris Hoy refers to Chris Hoy in the third person is the day that Chris Hoy disappears up his own a***.

Chris Hoy on being asked what Chris Hoy thought of Chris Hoy

Resist what? I suppose next you'll be complaining about there being clouds over your street blown in from Clapham. At least this is what Meds thinks.

I was not complaining about anything..


I say something negative and get a tirade of abuse ..


I say something positive and I get stick...


People need to concentrate more on the dozens of posts from me that aim to help

those seeking information on local amenities and facilities.

I've been busy and am only half way through wading through all the posts on this thread but in case no one else noticed DulwichFox's error, there is (or at least has been until very recently) a Jamaican restaurant on East Dulwich Road. I get take away from there a few times a year.

Also, I ate at the Japanese place and its good.


The Nigiri pieces are for 2 pieces, the sashimi prices are for 3. The sushi roll is 6 pieces.


The Black cod was a bit sweet for my tastes but well cooked.


The deserts were good.


Overall, I'll be back.

it looked like a clothes market inside a shop when I passed a few days ago - is it going to be a restaurant?

Louisa, please I beg you... give it a rest. We know you don't like... well, lot's of people it seems, and that in your mind East Dulwich if full of people from Clapham, Peckham is Shoreditch and you literally can't step outside without being mowed down by cyclists, buggies or skateboarders, but it's getting so boring. You've made the point. You've made it many times. Change the record.
A restaurant so great that people (apart, apparently, from Louisa) stopped going to it. Whatever its absolutle merits, failing to meet the needs of its addressable customer base meant it lost its business. Tough. I have no brief for 'posh tat' - and if the (current crop of) locals don't either, it, too, will fail. But to wish to preserve some mythic past that you alone feel comfortable with, to the exclusion of the needs of those around you, is, well, sad. And stop being rude to people who are prepared to move round SE London. With your hatred of 'blow-ins' you make UKIP's case for them.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
