Lordship lane shop gossip (lounged)

This. I'm sucker for their excellent meat platters, cold Sam Adams beer and large screens showing the NFL.


Although, Cla*ham has a Bodeans...first Oliver Bonas, then Adventure Bar and now Bodeans.


It's a slippery slope I tells yer.

It's not quite Lordship Lane, but it is gossip....


...the cafe in Peckham Rye have applied for both an alcohol license and a license to stay open till 11pm. Ordinarily I'd say we had enough drinking establishment but I'm thinking a few ice-cold beers on a lazy summer's eve might go down a treat.


All those in favour please raise their drinking hand.

God only knows what will be coming next, some sort of cafe selling overpriced coffee and pizza with a free copy of the Guardian to boot. Heaven for a large number of trendy urbanites on here who think living close to a shithole like Peckham is edgy as opposed to scary.

I'm a huge fan of the Gowlett pizza. I'd like to see a sit down pizzeria on LL rather than the take away places.

Or perhaps the Plough should specialize in pizza to take over from the Mag (which I don't think does pizza anymore but could be wrong), but also I'm not sure if a pub does good pizza it needs to do anything else? surely everyone likes good pizza?

Most high streets have a sit down pizzeria, so we are def missing something, perhaps a business opp for someone.

The houses down both sides of the Rye have been leafleted by the Council for objections. Providing none of them throw a paddy I think it will be a fun addition. But then it's not in my back yard, not sure how I'd feel if I lived nearer.

The park is a place for tranquility not for a load of smelly old boozers walking home of an evening making untold noise.


As for pizza, no not everyone thinks a bit of flat bread with a few toppings on top is anything other than posh cheese on toast. How anyone can honestly distinguish the difference between a supermarket pizza and one made at some posh bar I have no clue, what a bloomin waste of money.


Louisa.

Sean what makes you think that everyone loves pizza? Honestly please tell me... I mean if you were talking about cooking a nice piece of meat or some complex dish which involved a whole host of ingredients I am pretty sure I could understand, but it is a friggin pizza, it is a cheapo tasteless fast food snack that is bland and usually boring. If you wanna posh it up by sticking some sun dried tomatoes or a fried egg on top be my guest but honestly it's just like posh cheese on toast. I have NEVER seen the appeal at all. Again it must be a class thing, because most people would be happy going out with the family for a treat at pizza hut (god knows why) or just buying a frozen pizza from Sainsbury's. A pub that sells this crap for over the odd's prices needs to be closed down in my opinion.


Louisa.

Brilliant

Sorry to be blunt Louisa but how the f**k is this a class thing? How big is the class chip on your shoulder that you bring it up every frakkin' (yes, I watch the middle class Galactica) time. I enjoy your posts but you're getting as boringly predictable as AFN.

You'll have to forgive Louisa, the poor old dear.. Due to an unfortunate industrial accident many years ago, her taste buds became stuck in the 1970s. It's not her fault if she can't tell the difference between those flat discs of cardboard you buy in Iceland with a scraping of tomato paste and cheddar 'number three' on top - and a real pizza.

don't forget Louisa's comments on anothr thread




You see? The class system is being imposed on her agaisnt her will - she isn't doing anything to perpetuate it


Other things there isn't really any difference in, and only deluded middle class people are happy to pay more for presumably include


Those own brand lagers which cost 4 for 99p versus (say) Budvar

Cheap, over-sugared and flavour enhanced wines versus realistically priced good wine

Galtee cheese versus any of the artisan ones found in, oooohm pick a deli

Greggs Saus.. oh we've done that one

etc

etc

I like the cafe in Peckham Rye, and it's quite far away from any houses, so I think it would be great if it stayed open later. However, if any of the people who live near the Rye come on here and give better information about the noise carrying I'll defer to them.


It would be even better if it retained a cafe feel for the early evening at least to it rather than turning into yet another bar. Realistically, it's going to continue to be packed full of people with small children, and the noise inside due to the acoustics is already pretty unbelievable, so I can imagine it might be considered a bit 'unfamily-unfriendly'.

OK maybe class and pizza is a step too far, but I think that if your going to a pub you should go there for a drink and not to sit down eating a bloody hot pizza, otherwise why dont we just rename the pub Pizza Hut or Pizza Express or however many other stupid and pointless take out and restaurants aimed at this annoying and pointless snack food. Anyway, i've had a pizza from all the major supermarkets and was once forced to have one at an Italian restaurant and I thought they werer all pretty pointless and did not substitute a proper dinner as far as I was concerned.

Somebody actually forced you to eat a pizza? Were they middle class?

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
