Like, cool your boots, momma.

Gold Lee are hep cats and have probably taken the 'phone off the hook to partake of a little number or two before busting their collective hump catering to the needs of the local squid heads.

Don't get so frazzled you might work for the man, it don't mean you have to bring all that uptightness back to Casa Rosie.

It's bad for your chakra.


Switch off your mind and float downstream.


Give at least a ?1.50 tip.


Peace, baby.

I would have so hated living in the 60s.

You know what they say Moos, if you can't remember the sixties you're lying about your age.

Or something.

Not been checking the forum for a while but finally, amongst the boredom posters, attention seekers and idle banter we have an issue of utmost local importance - the best salt and chilli squid.


This classic British chinese dish is often on the takaway menu as a starter and comprises battered squid, rock salt and chopped red chilli often with some diced spring onions for good measure. The best is lightly crisp on the outside with tender (not rubbery) squid within and cooked fresh rather than heated up in the microwave.


Rosie - god bless you sister, for I share your affliction and have found an unlikely champion in Cafe Noodle by Franklins. It beats Mr Liu's and Gold Lee hands down BUT ONLY FOR CHILLI SQUID. I actually buy my S&C squid there before going to the mighty Liu's for everything else. Pick n mix chinese. Very important. Let me know what you think.

Soooo not cool, Moos. Going around punching people would have put you on the side of The Man. Female Division.

Did the hippies put their faces in front of billy clubs/gun butts, for nothing?

Did the yippies encourage book stealing/anarchy for the good of their health?

Did The Fugs deliberately not learn to play on the first rcord just to mess with us?


Answers; No; Maybe; It's The Fugs, it'll involve some sort of theory, so who knows?

Well now, they've only gone and hijacked it, but let me tell you MrBen, I am very excited at your news. I haven't yet had the good fortune to try it out, but let me assure you that I shall be doing so at the very first opportunity (it turned out, when I got off my lazy arse and walked round there, that Gold Lee were in fact open - maybe they just forgot to pay the phone bill).


I love the squid.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
