That is not at all true.. True Tea (Cay) is drunk by locals ..


Turkish Coffee T?rk kahvesi is widely drunk across Turkey and is a right ceremonial thing too.

And usually very sweet and the grinds are allowed to settle at the bottom of the cup

A Turkish coffee in parts of Cyprus doesn't go down too well either.

it isn't turkish coffee they are selling there, it's just an automated coffee machine selling latte, americano etc. we tried it and it wasn't that great to be honest even by machine standards it was very weak.


on the plus side this is the first time i've been in this shop in a long time, i really liked the previous owners and they always had good quality and interesting bits in there, but the new people seem to have ramped it all up a notch, theres a great selection of pastry/turkish bread type things in there and a lot of nice fruit and veg.

When it was Andreas's it was a Greek shop and was owned by relatives of a guy I used to work with in Telecoms.


It is a great place and is indeed a rare example of a LL business actually flogging decent stuff.

Very helpful and friendly and unpretentious.

P.S. Bet no one comments on Foxy being positive.

To be fair Foxy, there's a lot of places on LL flogging decent stuff food wise but it's mainly on the mid-upper scale price wise i think we are pretty lucky with range, if only we had a decent asian supermarket like the one in Peckham i'd be happy. Non-food wise i never shop in LL

Yes I agree, I hadn't been in there for ages but I went in recently and was really impressed by the good selection of stuff they had.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
