I was once evicted from Streatham Ice Rink during a Redskins game because I'd had the audacity to take my own beverage, in this case, a bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label, of which I drank from copiously. The fact I was also hideously drunk on arrival is neither here nor there. Barstewards!
There's an NFL reporter on UK radio who refuses to call the Redskins by their name as he considers it racist. Which is why there may be a name change as it's not just him who thinks so. Perhaps if Streatham go the same way they could think of something more suited to being a South London team.

It's definitely not just him. There are quite a few newspapers and TV outlets in the US also refusing.


There is the debate about why the Kansas City Chiefs whose (majority white) fanbase don feathered headgear and do a tomahawk chop after TDs don't seem to come in for the same.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
