I wish he'd shut up about Ikea in that review. Who cares about whether he asks himself why he's going to Ikea, each time he goes to Ikea. And what is the point of him asking himself, if he just goes again? What is his answer when he asks himself? And why is he going to Ikea if he has to ask himself why, once he's already on the way?
Why does anyone go to Ikea, anyway? Idiots. I don't go to Ikea.

love is the answer
The Mirch Masala in Norbury is amazing
I don't understand why people think Khan's is average. Honestly. I think it's the best curry house in South London by miles.

That's really quite depressing - Pizza Express & Starbucks in Herne Hill.
I'll end up like Abbeville Road
.I've been hoping Dust isn't really closing - didn't it have a closing down sale when it changed from 'Stardust' to 'Dust'?

Sometimes Mirch can be a little inconsistent to the oversalted on the curries, but I'd happily allow the odd aberration to indulge in their fantastic tandoor meats and bread. Lamb chops, butter chicken, wings, mmmmm
Khans is merely average imo, although their smaller menu is better structured and more enticing than most. Can't say it's a place that ever excited me, despite being my local curry house for the best part of a decade.

Depending on who's cooking on the day, it can be too salty for me sometimes. Otherwise, I like it as much as you do, han
Is it the one of the corner that faces outwards onto the junction? He is certainly miserable.

Totally weird, it's like a car boot sale but with new and second-hand stuff. Old typewriters, printers, CRT TVs, gramophones, microwaves, bookshelves, videos, faxes, golf clubs, sinks, toilets, fridges, dvds, cds, cushions, picture frames, books, kitchen stuff, ornaments etc. - a total mish mash of stuff, and they sell tea and coffee
Probably a right handy place for someone totally skint who's just got their own first flat and doesn't have the money to buy a new microwave... or set of golf clubs Yeah, I saw him in there on the way back

It is.... Network Rail wanted them to move out for 3 months or summat whilst they did the place up, so they'd have had to either close up shop or find an alternative shop for that time. I spoke to the husband of the husband/wife owners and he said they're going to continue to run their web business. Their print shop is opposite Brazas at the bottom of Tulse Hill. It is a shame.
It is handy. I had a chat with him a few weeks ago and he was quite stressed. I don't think he particularly enjoyed the "always having to be open and be there-ed-ness" of having a shop - if that makes sense. It's a real shame though. I do really like Herne Hill - or have done - but I am sad that Dust is closing and Starbucks is opening if I'm honest. It feels like it's becoming ever more like East Dulwich. I got severely tutted at in December in East Dulwich... at least in Brixton I'd get a proper "FFS" or similar...I can't be doing with tutting

Quite probable. He's a local

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Not takeaway in the evening though. Sometimes it takes a curry to hit the spot.

You could bump the "celebrities spotted on buses" thread
You'll see he gets a mention on that as being seen on Brixton Hill buses regularly

Starbucks in HH?? NO!!!!
Their encroachment deeper into South London is a real shame. Brixton - HH -Clapham are slowly becoming the same shade of dull
But it is more suited to Herne Hill, whereas it's not suited to Brixton. I'm surprised HH hasn't had one for years already.
In fact, I think you should have Brixton's one as well
Herne Hill does not have a Foxtons.... yet. So I disagree with your assessment that HH is as dull as E. Dulwich. And purely based on its geographic location (close to Brixton, Tulse Hill, Brockwell Park etc), HH is still way more enjoyable than E. Dulwich.

Yeah.. I wouldn't put it quite in the Abbeville/E Dulwich league just yet but it's rapidly getting that way. It seems to have happened relatively quickly too I think.
