As if by magic been e-mailed by Ivy


Picture this: You are squashed in amongst a hoard of frostbitten strangers staring up at Big Ben. The bottle of fizz in your hands has gone flat long ago. You try to still bear a grin despite losing all your friends to the crowds and the feeling of early onset, new year morning neck ache. "Who likes fireworks anyway?' you think to yourself. "Damn, I wish I stayed local..."


Don't make the same mistake I have made year in year out. Stay local, don't pay entrance fee or any cab fair. See in the new year amongst familiar faces, great beer and wine and enjoy an awesome DJ set of dancehall fillers from the 60s to the present day (any requests welcome!)

    • How the hell did Mad maxxi do that given the state of the rest of us?
    • "I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff."   I remember that little bric-a-brac, at the back of the solicitors' place. Still got a block type panel from there. The old solicitors on the corner would could be a good venue for a few indoor stalls
    • This week's points has to be a contender for worst collective set of scores ever. Week 33 points...   Week 33 table...
    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
