Well that's really enlightening, thanks for that, I will sleep easy.


Any indication of what these police cars may have been doing there?


Any sign of Christmas trees or reindeers at all?

Surprisingly I didn't walk down hillcourt road to find out the nature of the incident as that would be rubbernecking, but I would imagine 2-3 police cars would indicate a fairly serious event

You fellows have no idea what you're missing.


On a friday night my brothers Aubery and Hephaestion pop round so we can all enjoy what you're all clearly lacking. A police scanner. The fun usually kicks off at around eightish with a few minor pot dealers being dragged off their scooters. Pub fights normally start at midnight but it all fizzles out around then. For the real 'doors flying off hinges' action, you ideally have to be up around 4 to 6 a.m.


Weekdays are pretty bare, although the takeaway connoisseurs amongst us will surely benefit from all the appreciative radio messages between officers rating the dish they've just burped through to HQ.

It is not possible to scan and listen in to police radio comms any more. This has been the case for 10 years in much of the country. Perhaps about 5 years in London.


It is still possible, however, to scan four pages of posts on a local internet forum generated by the astonishing fact of there being a helicopter, flying, in the sky.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
