open 24 hrs dm,manys a night i crawled up there totally blotto for 20 b and h and a drunken feast of chocolate,crisps and of course lucozade for the morning. dont know if anyone else remembers the shop that used to be on the corner of st francis road by the bus-stop run by some old jamacian boy,it didnt open to about 10pm,but it was a great place for nipping for a few late night cans and if the face fitted a little bit of blow to send one to sleep.
dm, as a clean living honest citizen i too often thought about calling the plod but on the occasions when i was trying to woo some young student nurse on my way back to hambledon court from the penthouse, it was over-ruled by the obvious benefit of having an establishment on ones doorstep that sold alcohol at 2 in the morning all be it at hideously over inflated prices.

Budgens is also open 24hrs DM. I'm guessing you've just moved on a little now and aren't awake that late any more. ;-)

I liked the toy shop (v useful for those last minute present crises). And the jewellers with the friendly old couple, near the DIY shop, even though the man in there managed to break my watch mwhilst changing the battery.


And the dry cleaner's with the nice Greek/ Cypriot family next to the Magdala, although they may not be missing LL as they worked so long and hard.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets!
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
