Strange things afoot at the Circle K


Recommended Posts

there,s two types david the ones from tayto castle in tandragee co.armagh and a brand of the same name made in the south the tayto castle ones are in the traditional yellow pack and the southern ones are in a red pack.have to disagree with sean og tayto cheese n,onion knock spots off anything else on the market,saying that im also quite partial to their wuster sauce flavour and spring onion(scallion) flavours as well.but they,re hard to get hold of. still i can survive as long as i have my club orange and kimberly,mikado and coconut creams all washed down with a mug of corks finest-barrys tea.best thing to come out of cork apart from sean obviously.

back on topic, i saw under the old motor traders sign that they pulled down is a very old one that reads 'cooperative society' suggesting there was a bit of community up there once.


before the chinese medicine people turned up I wanted to turn that shop into a British style restaurant, like St. John's in Smithfield, as it was an old Kennedy's butcher shop with all the old decorative tiles still in place.

Moghul Spice isn't a bad take-away either. As someone else has mentioned, the only thing we don't really have within a quick flash is a decent bakers or a good off-licence, but otherwise it's not too shabby up here at all. I didn't realise that little house is up for sale in Plough Lane and I live on the same road. :S

I'm quite annoyed my dry cleaners is shut... It would happen now when I need coats and dresses dry cleaned... How is the one down the bottom of Lordship Lane?


I went to Badger Bakery for the first time in ages today (despite living across the road) had a rather yummy chocolate slice. For some reason they intimidate me although my mother is their most regular customer, judging by the amount of freshly baked bread and buns we seem to accumulate in the kitchen.


Ahh don't get me started on Taytos (am agreed on their cheese and onion too - perfect!) and other Irish confectionary. I just wish the woman in the Irish shop wasn't so scary. I went into get Mikado biscuits, and she sat on the stool and growled at me... I paid for my biscuits and ran. I haven't been back since.

you should be able to get them in sainsburys,potato bread,soda farls and wheaten,its the stuff endorsed by paul rankin not the best you,ll ever eat but not a bad imitation.the irish shop still does stuff but only on certain days as its bakery made so obviously a better product and it goes like the proverbial hot cakes.mmm i now quite fancy a toasted soda farl dripping with butter,manna.

Now posting has gone way off topic - somebody can do a "Where can I buy.." thread... Actually I might start it myself, I need some blind.


Back to my original question - does anyone know what IS happening up that end with a substantial amount of real estate - someone posted about the trust which owns it but no idea what the plan is

    • FH is so much greener and IMO nicer than ED, sorry. Less commercialised.  The Great North Wood, Hornimans Gardens, Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill ) yep, some of that borders ED, so split between the two) 
    • Tesco sell pudding rice https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254877391   And as for olive oil, my preference is the Spanish 2L cans in Sainsbury, it has a real nice peppery taste, not bland like the Italian one's I've tasted, but that's personal preference I suppose. 
    • It feels like a group who don't believe that private motoring should be discouraged and have no answers to the air quality problem, whereas the original Cleanairdulwich are campaigning to reduce pollution. Sadly we live in a world where if you are rich, you will generally live in nicer houses, have nicer environments and cleaner air.  That is capitalism for you, but I doubt whether there would be greater health equality in the former Soviet Union either.  Dulwich village was once full of industrialists and the like who didn't want to live in polluted central London where most would have made their money.  I will contact Cleanairdulwich and hopefully provide a better perspective.  Whether it is one individual or a whole community I support agree with what they are doing.  
    • ??? When they refer to "all Dulwich", I took that to mean including the residents of the streets where the traffic has been directed into due to the LTNs, which are presumably experiencing greater pollution/stress,  whereas the "privileged few" in the LTN areas are experiencing lower pollution due to less traffic. Hence the reference to inequality. Sorry if I've got the terminology wrong.
