.... because obviously both fried chicken and beer were in desperately short supply in SW9 before the advent of the villaaaage. why, you could hike for miles without the merest sniff of a drumstick 
when will someone finally open a nail bar that's fit for the discerning middleclass nubrixtonettes, that's what I want to know ...

If enough people came along in Converse T-Shirts it might be possible to do some ambush marketing.
Nike own Converse and by the looks of it JD Sports in Brixton too.
Went in there the other day and it was Nike, a bit of Adidas and one pair or Puma.

Ha! I didn't look that far. The name puts me off, unless they are actually called Bukowski, which is feasible. The only Bukowski I know comes from the land of Alan Partridge.

It's just the same as Honest though isn't it? Not that that's a bad thing if you like dripping flesh.
The Market Row off licence place is also good value and offers lots of tasting opportunities. He knows his wine and sources local beer too.

Yes - the guy in there is really helpful and the wine was good value and very tasty. I got the impression that he is hoping things will pick up a little.

Are you thinking of bukakee?
It's name after the American author Charles Bukowksi.
Next up will be the HST grill or the Woody Creek Tavern, SW9.

IIRC Nando's chicken is free range (not organic though, obviously). But to go there you have to leave the Village comfort zone - and you might have to deal with pre-2010-vintage Brixton residents.

I've never conflated Alan with those perverse sexual practices... I'm not sure there's even enough room for that in a Travelodge.
But yes, I'd guessed it was Charles Bukowski; and I guess they're aiming for that hard boiled / hard liquor approach to their marketing. I've not read him since I was an impressionable teenager, by my memories are more a heterosexual WIlliam Burroughs and booze rather than smack. And not as well written.

A good point well made, Crispy. I see marriage hasn't blunted your powers of observation.
How do we decide who gets to start the new one?
This has reminded me of crowding round our primary school head seeing who would be chosen to ring the school bell in the morning.

The thing about nando's is that it only serves chicken. I went once and it was crap - almost inedible chips and a horribly dry chili seasoning on the chicken. Yuck!
