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.

Foxy says something positive and I still get stick.

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.

[DulwichFox]

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.

Hi does anyone know what the barbers on east dulwich road on same parade as Flying pig is changing into?

[jenf]

It's going to be a gelateria and gallery space, apparently - likely to open Feb sometime.

[LondonMix]

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.

[sillywoman]

Another ice-cream shop in ED?! Goodness, that's two very specialised businesses within quite a small area - I hope they've done their homework round sustainability.

Victus & Bibo!

That's the new sign in the old Moulin restaurant at the Plough. Stall holders turn restaurateurs.

Mmm, Lamb wraps with halloumi; I could eat one of those now

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

[Earl Aelfheah]

That little stretch of shops on East Dulwich Road is becoming rather nice

[steveo]

I thought that: Vinatage stuff. Maybe it's a lamb wrap and a fox stole or even a muff

[Louisa]

A great restaurant replaced with more posh tat for the blow in clapham folk. Sigh.

Louisa.

[Earl Aelfheah]

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.

[Penguin68]

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.

[jacks09]

Victus and Bibo is street food. I struggle to understand how a lamb wrap could be posh tat....its basically like kebab.....
