References suggesting that perambulators are some kind of socioeconomic indicator that can be used to measure property price, organic produce consumption, political affiliation, latent racism, class prejudice, newspapers readership, the downfall of civilized society and the onset of Armageddon or any other contrived conclusions other than that they are a traditionally convenient means of transporting a young child.

Absolutely not Steve, do not mess with the Eye, it's a touchstone in an ever-changing world. Get glasses or a magnifying glass.

Heed the fate that became Melody Maker when it became an A4 Smash Hits style glossy. Bit the dust it did.

I don't think old 'Slopper' Hislop would contemplate any changes, but please don't go putting ideas into his head.

Stand in the queue at Sainsburys, M&S, Tesco etc. with a ?1.85 sandwich in their hand for 10 mins, looking at the ?1.85 label and arrive at the till, only to be told by the cashier that in fact it IS ?1.85 and then rummage around in their stupid trophy handbag for the said ?1.85 as though its a bl**dy surprise!

Pay for a ?1.85 sandwich with a switch/maestro/visa card.


That's all.....for now.

I restate. I wish they were that poetic. If they could really quote the Messiah, or Blake, or the German Romantics, I could forgive them. But they all have some crazy born-again tediously expressed texts in rotten English.


One can forgive so much for poetry, for art...

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
