The one on Peckham Rye may not have been called Blue Mountain but it was the same guy with a similar format who opened the BMC later on North Cross Road and in Forest Hill (both of which are long gone so not approaching the '10 establishment' threshold yet).

I lived in Nigel Road SE15 at the time and then moved to Crawthew Grove - just round the corner from the North Cross Road BMC - so I don't think my memory is failing me.

Me too, tho I was glad of it in some way


Coz it was as dull as fook before


Mind you I do think Mel has ridden the times well for the best part, he's a nice guy still

That's the one. I would guess where Yilmaz Kebab is now - in which case it would be 277 Rye Lane (not Peckham Rye). Back when the bus stop was the Heaton Arms.


Anyway, I'm sorry to see the Sea Cow go too. I saw the van at the Isle of Wight festival three or so years ago. Looked like bloomin' hard work so good luck to them.

You haven't gone bald since I last saw you have you ?

Well, new year, new 1,000,000 page thread on the horizon. The HSBC site along the lane has come onto the market, and as you can read below, the article is clearly aimed at a chain of some description. Big plot of empty land behind the existing handsome Victorian bank too. Please God, no more Waitrose threads!

And after much thought, it will be named The Old Bank.


But personally I think LL needs a decent bar of some sort and I don't mind if it's a chain. We have good independent restaurants but the pubs are not really working for me on the lane and any new pub would hopefully be good.

LL is lacking I think and unchanged for a few years, especially when compared to Peckham and Nunhead with lots of new offerings.

ED is boring now. The excitement of the earlier years of blow-in culture brought with it some sort of optimism and a nice healthy mix of old and new. Now the yuppies have taken over, all we are left with is bland soulless gastro pubs aimed primarily at people under 40(ish).

Indeed. Bring back smoking in pubs.

Bring back smoking and bring back the jukebox. I don't wanna go into a boozer sat next to a load of yuppies with toddlers running a mock, drinking, eating and more than likely bragging about one thing or another. A pub also needs a dart board and a pool table. Long live the Man of Kent and Pyro, the last remaining bastions of working class pub culture.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
