Silverfish are nasty wingless insects most often found under the lino in toilets..

Le Moulin was about as French as Dulwich Tandoori.

[Louisa]

*Bob* you weren't adverse to shuveling the soil on top of the coffin either!

Anyway, I spent a bloody fortune in that place over the years and by promoting them on here I brought a new generation of blow in's to the attention of an authentic ED (French) restaurant.

Are they an old-skool pest, perhaps fallen from public memory?

Silverfish gets used a lot as a name.

[Louisa]

I had a silverfish infestations few years back in my kitchen. They're harmless but creepy. They will damage textiles.

There used to be a second hand record shop in Shirley called The Vinyl Resting Place, I liked that name.

Especially not in a small tiny place like that particular shop. There is no luxury involved. Used to go there when I first moved to ED.

Who would call a newly opened pub any of the above these days...
