Well, I think (but can't be 100% sure) that scampi back home generally refers to imported lobsters that may or may not be the same species. If you ask for "hummer" (Norski for lobster) then you will get a bigger beast than those small ones you posted above.

They were the Emperor's New Clothes of crisps.
<edit to add> Not only in Brixton, but everywhere.

Quite. I tried them a couple times but found them intolerable. Far too thick and salty. And expensive.

I believe the current discussion on crisps started following a comment on new crisps at the Albert, which is most certainly relevant.

I may pop in to the Albert later to assess the situation.
I am not sure I can totally trust Badgers in these matters

Absolutely. Any Brixton publicans pondering potato snack procurement would find this all very relevant.
A lobster and a scampo are quite different. A lobster is blue/black until boiled, while a dublin bay prawn/scampo/norway lobster/langoustine whatever is pinky-orange and white and goes a little darker when cooked. I think that scampi, in Italian, refers only to the tail of the critter, they have another word for the whole animal which I have temporarily forgotten. It is much smaller and lives much deeper than a lobster, on soft/muddy seafloor whereas lobsters like hard, rocky ground. Most langoustines today are trawled, which is very destructive, while lobsters are caught in creels. You can catch langoustines with creels if you get there before the trawlers, but these days it's uneconomic.
I know this because long ago before I came to Brixton I did a bit of inshore fishing.

Is it really the case that everything they call scampi is from the same species? BTW in Norway you're only allowed to catch norway lobsters with creels, from 1. Oct to the end of the year (shorter in some places).

Didn't realise it was called that, it's closer to *Brixton* than Brixton Cycles
Yes. It used to be very central.

General Q to all: Did this actually get overheard, or is it a made up thing to make sneering easier?
editor said:If anyone thinks they can start a 'Brickers Tittle Tattle' thread for September, they're going to be seriously disappointed.
We may not have many standards around here, but we have some.
When you say 'we' are you speaking for us all? Perhaps a vote would make everyone feel more comfortable about our standards?

Given some of the well heeled braying types I've heard when going through Granville Arcade on the weekend, I'd say it's highly likely. 'Brickers' has certainly been overheard.

They don't get much more well-heeled than in dulwich, and I've never heard, or heard of that being called 'Dulwich Villaage'.

It looks like a lot of the talk on here to me - not so much about sneering as denoting that gentrification happening in Brixton is down to people who are Definitely Not Like Us at all.
