Dunno, just looked. Hundreds of them

Bit late in the day for a funeral though I was thinking?

 

[quimcunx]

Not so many as last time. Maybe just a few on a jaunt.

Possibly. Maybe off to Brighton for the weekend

It depends what image you wish to project, of course.

 

[Orang Utan]

It would depend on your hairstyle, the rest of your outfit, and your behaviour. But there would be a risk that you could me mistaken for a visiting Claphamer, or even some kind of East London type.

 

[quimcunx]

I was in an East End pub yesterday and there were two blokes in spiv moustaches and tattershall checks. Initially I recoiled in horror but regained my stoicism on remembering I was on their territory and only had myself to blame.

Still though, just typing that sends shivers down my spine.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

FFS: This thread's starting to talk a whole new language.

What's a spiv moustache look like?

OU has a 'tache

I've just googled

 

[Orang Utan]

i think i'm one of those people who some locals disapprove of, despite having lived here for over ten years

 

[quimcunx]

they weren't quite that spivvy. more dad's army spivvy, where there is a clear gap between the lip and the tache and the tache and the nose.


I know I disapprove of you.

He's got the name wrong - isn't it Kaosarn?

Anyway, I hope the restaurant can cope with the huge influx of visitors it's going to get as a result of that review. Hopefully the rest of BV will benefit too.

 

[miss minnie]

I doubt they'll stay in BV for much longer though.

Definitely sarn. I remember taking note of it last time I was there after someone posted about it and pointed out that it had a different spelling

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I doubt they'll stay in BV for much longer though.

Why's that?

 

[miss minnie]

Why's that?

A glowing review in a national newspaper by a leading food critic might just expand their customer base to the point where they outgrow that teeny tiny space in the arcade very quickly.

Yeah, but there's other successful places that haven't isn't there, Franco's for example? er... not sure where else as I don't tend to go to Granville Arcade or any of the arcades that often
