Which Terry Wogan had the good manners to play while I was enjoying my breakfast in Rock Steady Eddies at Camberwell this morning.

But it's not that one JB.

Ah yes but rather than being a peculiarly catholic tradition, Shrove Tuesday and eating pancakes is actually a British Isles tradition. A lot of the Catholic world tends to celebrate it as Mardi Gras which involves heavy drinking and taking our clothes off. This may or may not have something to do with the Pope tossing his pancakes. Anyway I knew what you meant I was just being silly. Is it Mott the Hoople?

No you're not, JB I won't allow it. I can't.

I insist you identify the song that commences with the word 'Honaloochie' and the second word in the title begins with the letter 'B' and comprises six letters.

And it's by a group whose name is an anagram of Moth Poet Hotel.

(I wish I could claim credit for that, but it's actually a highly sought-after cover version LP of said group)

Now the clues are all there, just say what you see.

Well done JL. I reckon the others knew too but were just indulging in teasage.

So over to your good self for the next set of lyrics.

Could I put in a preemptive bid for the group being The Faces?

I mean you never know.

I sort of know this - it's from The New York Album. I bought this CD in New York when it first came out and I listened to it non-stop. Couldn't tell you the track without getting up and going downstairs and, to be honest, I just haven't got it in me right now to do that - I'm tucked up in bed (I lead a quiet life don't ya know). Anyway, it's Lou Reed, New York album.

    • 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?
