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.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.

      yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street

      Sometime in the mid 80s, the first incarnation was on Peckham Rye near the new old Tesco’s

      Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
