rahrahrah your constant banging on about other people's opinions, just because they happen to be different to your own are pretty damn tiresome too. I could easily throw that yawn right back at you. Get over it. Some people like to hold local business to account for the right reasons rather than saying everything is lovely and cuddly just for the sake of it. That's life. Sensible critique keeps everyone on their toes.

Oh, do get over yourself! Please.


Just because you are on school holidays, doesn't excuse your irritating behaviour.

School holidays? Erm slightly confused by this comment. Get over myself? I'm merely defending myself against people claiming I am deliberately negative about new businesses, which is not the case. I would like more variety in the local restaurant scene, is that a crime? We currently lack a Mexican or Greek place of any description. As for the Chinese restaurant choices they are definitely way back in the 70s still. Your comment is suggesting I am not allowed to be critical of the ED sacred cow that is the restaurant scene, correct?

Utter nonsense another case of selective reading looking for Foxy & Louisa posts to sneer at..

Did you miss this one ?


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.




Just one of many Foxy's positive posts. Like the ones on various Indian outlets, Dulwich DIY, SMBS,

Hisar, Clipper, Iceland...


DulwichFox.


P.S I get good service in other ED outlets but do not feel the need get hysterical and post here

every time I buy a cake, loaf of bread or cup of coffee.

1) it appears they are doing very well at the prices they are charging - hence their expansion to date

2) they'd be wrong to change a winning formula/price point

Arhh.. Nail on the head... I think.


If Franco Manca can make it work charging low, reasonable, realistic prices.


Then the suggestion that other businesses are having to charge over the top to cover rents

by unscrupulous landlords does not hold water.


You cant have it both ways..


I rest my case .

I have never slagged off this place.


I have only ever spoke about my dislike of Pizza and its nutritional values.


Even before it had opened I commented on the place being the best transformation of any outlet in E.D.


So give Foxy a break..

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • 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.
