I say chain, they only have 8 outlets around the city. But, they're in some pretty decent parts of London. Looks like ED has been overlooked in favour of our wayward (but much more interesting) younger brother. Oops.

Blenheim Grove is the location.


How many out of 10 do I get for this one Jeremy? ;-)

You have said that before. You need to get it soon. With your knife and fork.

Me too. But it's easy .. They are cheap to make. requires very little equipment and highly profitable..


They are probably here to stay.. well definitely here to stay.. probably a burger tax may be imposed as

it seems to be the government way forward with resolving any obesity problem. Cos I'm the Tax Man..

Also, the likes of McDonald's and Burger King are suffering at the rise of the 'hipster burger', it's a business model which clearly works, especially in London. I had been told Byron Burger were also interested in Peckham (and I genuinely enjoyed my meal I had at one of their restaurants), but surely one area doesn't need two fancy burger restaurants? Or does it?

Burgers and Kebabs are very different..


People eat Burgers any time of the day.. and most kebabs are eaten late at night. (generally speaking)


Pubs do burgers in the evening... but not kebabs.. Kebabs require specialist equipment.


I don't eat many kebabs these days..


Years ago it was a Fish'n'Chip supper after the Pictures.. often walking along the street..


Arrh .. the smell of HOT chips and Vinegar..


Foxy..

Yes burgers are round, or pillar shaped with a dome top


Kebabs are not round, or pillar shaped with a dome top


I think maybe alcohol plays a part in the consumption of the latter


That or plain stupidity possibily or sheer laziness, given how cheap & easy it is to make your own at home when shitfaced on a Fri/Sat nite

Absolutely, the business model that article refers to covers the whole of the UK where, granted, McDonald's is doing very well for itself. But here in London the 'hipster burger' phenomenon has taken huge chunks out of the cheap casual dining burger joints such as the one you quote from the guardian article. Have a read of this

    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends. 
    • Tom is a legend, even though he supports Arsenal..
    • The seller hasn't been named on here, and it isn't clear that it was a genuine misunderstanding, given the contents of the OP. Maybe it should be left as a warning to others to try things out before you take them home. Or indeed before you sell them. If  something seems wrong, it probably is. It shouldn't have taken a public post to resolve things . Also, if the laptop actually belongs to a company, it wasn't the seller's to sell, regardless of how he obtained it.
