I know.

I know.

I'm pleased you realise this

He mugs everyone else off with garnish, you mean.

I thought I was special

[kittyP]

wtf would anyone put food-of-the-devil mayo on their lasagne?

There is very little savoury food I would not eat mayo with.
Love it on lasagne

I've been around Brixton for 15 years and can't really remember any proper fish and chip shops.
There was Albert's on Brixton Hill, but that was grease city. I used to laugh/cry at the cabinet of fried chicken kept warm with a normal 40w light bulb.

OT as is Cryspers tittle tattle, but you may like to know that the chippy on Gipsy Hill by the station seems to be having a good patch. Not amazing or anything, but you know, pretty good.

Still OT. I go to the one on the parade. Fish ok-ish. Chips, I know, are from handcut Maris Pipers. Not bad overall. Maybe I'll walk down the hill and sample the GH chippy. Was never that bad but I think they tried to diversify a bit much a few years ago.

Yes, it seemed to go through a patch of being some kind of half-arsed kebab shop, but is now back to being a proper chippy, and the people are really nice.

There's no actual kebab shop in central Brixton either, is there?

Depends what you mean central, there's one by Lidl on Acre Lane.

 

[Onket]

Hmmm. That's be ok if you lived on Acre Lane or towards Clapham.

I meant central, as in 'in the centre of', you know.

 

[Orang Utan]

It's only a three minute walk. It's central.

 

[Onket]

I'm not going to agree with you.

Are there any 1 or 2 'minutes walk'?

 

[Orang Utan]

Walk faster!

 

[TruXta]

Hmmm. That's be ok if you lived on Acre Lane or towards Clapham.

I meant central, as in 'in the centre of', you know.

In that case, no.

 

[quimcunx]

It's only a three minute walk. It's central.

No it's not. You have no concept of time.

Can't you walk for 10 minutes?

 

[Onket]

If the kebab shop halfway to Clapham, on Acre Lane, is the closest kebab shop to the centre of Brixton, then I think we can safely say there is no kebab shop in the centre of Brixton.

 

[Greebo]

10 minutes, on my short legs and heavy laden. I'm sure you time things by how long it takes to cycle.

 

[Badgers]

Gap in the market?

 

[Onket]

Can't you walk for 10 minutes?

The fact that I can walk for a few minutes, doesn't transport the destination of my walk into another geographical area.

I can fly for a few hours and be in North Africa, that doesn't mean it's in the UK.

Please try harder.

No way is that half-way to Clapham

 

[Onket]

Feel free to remove that bit from my post. The rest stands.

 

[TruXta]

Gap in the market?

I've long wondered why no one has tried to fill it.

 

[Orang Utan]

No it's not. You have no concept of time.

Well it feels like a few minutes. Near enough to walk to to get a snack

No, I contend that Lidl is central brixton. Central brixton is not just three streets

 

[Onket]

Yes, and we've already established that you'd rather leave a pub during an afternoon of drinking, to go home to cook yourself some food, and then go back to the pub to continue to drink.

As a result, your opinion here, as is so often the case, is not valid.

 

[Orang Utan]

If you want a kebab, be prepared to walk for a tiny amount of time to get one, onkers

 

[quimcunx]

You contend wrong. Lidl is not central brixton.
