Anyone experienced a problem with the shop Mrs Robinson? (Lounged)


Recommended Posts

It's a local forum and is read by a lot of people in the local area, so it can give businesses undeserved bad reputations. Fair play to the local businesses, new and old, they have to put up with a lot of vindictive crap on this forum. I for one wouldn't like it if there was a forum where I work where people regaled in pointing out all my faults.
Brill post from Acid Casual! I've been saying for ages there is no such thing as class anymore. Much as I quite like him, John Prescott makes me want to scream, constantly harping on about working class and middle class, it's just an outdated concept!

Well "Del" Does Keef! Camberwell | Thursday 19/Mar/2009 | South London Press


I prefer Camberwell without all those snotty things East Dulwich has.

No! Hang On! NOT what Keef and Rosie said..."Del" was saying that the area was snotty in the SLP soHE must think "class" exists as that usually equates to snobbery as in The Famous Sketch where John Cleese "looked down" on Ronnie Barker,who, in turn, looked down on Ronnie Corbett, who was depicted as Working-Class.

Ah, all for the sake of a comma. See, this is where all those people who reckon grammar doesn't matter come unstuck.


I read "Well 'Del' Does Keef!" as Del somehow doing Keef; quite what he was doing to him, one can only imagine.


Tony, had you said, "Well 'Del' does, Keef!" - I might have been able to work it out a little more. Still none the wiser who Del is though.

I agreed and disagreed with their every word BBW and as a result have got several splinters right up my aris from sitting on the fence.


I offer no opinion but quoted "Del" a contributor to The South London Press' Letters Page who was bemoaning the demise of many Camberwell Shops

    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
    • We went to Chern Thai for lunch on Saturday, as we have done quite often, and they were closed, with no sign of life. The sign in the window still says Saturday 12-3, and there was no indication that they would be closed. Can anybody shed any light? We went to Chilli and Garlic on Zenoria Street instead. Their falafel salad bowl is amazing (and amazing value!) but we had been looking forward to a Pad Thai and a pint of Singha! ETA: I am reviving this thread because it is/was  specifically about Chern Thai's opening times!
