THIS.


The only thing I'd add to it is PROTIP: Get fresh fish. And I'm not talking 3 day old fish that's been sat on a fishmarket, I'm talking so fresh that you can still taste the saltwater. Zushi isn't as complicated as you'd think, the SUPER SECRET METHOD is to ensure that you don't overcook the rice, that can be the dealbreaker between a dish that is OM NOM NOM to a dish that is MEH. Get some nice rice wine vinegar and you're pretty much set to go.

Zushi is better than Sashimi IMO, because you can cook whatever fish you're using without offending the Japanese Gods. If you're dead set on eating raw and you're all about Sashimi, I'd say go Hotate-gai, it's like eating fishy steak.

I thought Boho bar was crap when I went for a couple of drinks recently. No door policy, random punters, pointless screen, not good. Shame because if it was more discerning as to who it let in, and a few details were adjusted I'm sure it could be a fine little place.

Popped in for 20 minutes or so early last Friday evening and had what was supposed to be a Mai Tai. Dreadful. Absolutely nothing like one and it came in the smallest glass imaginable. It's supposed to have three different rums in for feck's sake. Half empty and a dull ambience. Must try much much harder.

So who had it let in (apart from you of course) and why do you think they didn't deserve to be there?


Who do you think should be let in, and why?

This is exactly what I was wondering. I have absolutely zero interest in drinking in a bar with a "discerning door policy". In fact if you're so picky about who you drink with, why bother leaving the house at all?

They let me in with my depressed divoercee friend (bad choice), they let in a group of 6 pissed up large argumentative geezers (bad choice), they let in some very bored looking old men (bad choice) and the 12 or so trendy good looking young girls and boys that wandered in wandered straight out again because of the low quality punters that were in there.

So basically they let everybody in.

So you think they should only let in "high quality punters", which by your definition appear to be:


Trendy

Good looking

Young


??????


Have I understood you correctly?


Do you think they should have some kind of "good looks detector" on the door, and maybe ask everybody for proof of age in case they're over - what? 25???


Oh, and vet their clothes in case they've strayed off trend?

      Taxes

      In  parts of Europe you just get charged tax at the end of your stay somewhere. Usually a couple of quid added to your bill. Most tourists are pretty happy to stump up the cost, as it's an expected expense.  I  think it's a good way to make money and remove the burden from locals.  It's for foreigners, Sue - I'm sure Londoners and brits will still be able to freely cross the borough lines without having to go through checkpoint charlie 🙂

      It doesn't work like that. There won't be differential pricing for tourists and residents at any attractions, checkpoints or a requirement to carry one's papers with one at all times. A levy is put on hotels, maybe on Air B&Bs, on a bed per night basis. That cash goes to Southwark. It's pretty easy to administer.

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      By paulu197 · Posted

      Don't see an issue at all. Sounds like the protest is being made by friends and families of the two off licences, Morleys, pret and maxim chicken who are within 100 m of the school. Much ado about nothing. Besides if it doesn't proceed, the kids will walk a but further!!

      Whilst I agree to some extent,  are they going to have some kind of checkpoint?  I can't see how this could work in practice. Surely Southwark residents go to these places quite frequently as well, particularly Tate Modern?  Will we have to take proof of residency every time we go out? What happens when family are with us who don't live in Southwark? Will other London boroughs start doing the same thing? Will Southwark residents be charged a tourist tax to visit "tourist attractions" in other areas, eg the V&A and the British Museum?
