Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

*yawn*

Tradition says it'll be vacant for a couple of months and then a new cafe/restaurant will appear for a few months and then the cycle continues.

My bet is on someone trying to start an Caribbeanesque place given the success of Negril. I keep asking the guy in Adams Bakery to open up another Eritrean place but every time he shudders and whispers "rent".

I'm going for Jamaican or a chicken shop!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

*yawn*

Better still, why don't we just agree to ignore each other. Sounds like a blinding idea to me

 

[Onket]

Who said that?

There's two "chicken" shops on that block and Pizza Ring also knock out fried fowl products.

Money on Jamaican-ish. Negril should take it over. They've enough custom to fill two places.

Onket would say you should have read the other thread. It's been known for TWO days now

I've been busy.

So Jamaican-ish then, or a coffee shop

Maybe Southside will nab it? Is Southside still open?

Anyone noticed the hair removal place on Coldharbour Lane opposite Blacker Dread? It's got a funny name - something Yello I think. It offers laser and IPL hair removal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intense_pulsed_light. Is there a big demand for this sort of thing? And is it mainly for the back, crack and sack brigade?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

There's a hairdesser on the corner of Coldharbour/Gresham called Headmistress. Always makes me smile for some reason

But not as funny as the double glazing van I saw in Hayter Road yesterday with the tag line: 'Taking the pane out of windows'

I'm easily pleased as well; I always read the licence plates on the Pimlico Plumbers' vans

 

[leanderman]

What/where was Ty Crepe?

It is claimed that the people who ran Ty Crepe have vanished, owing £7,500 to the landlord and having removed anything detachable, such as lights.

I like the old van (or is it a just made-to-look old?). I'm assuming maybe it belongs to the boss?

Is the landlord still Khan?

No way would I hire them. Wonder how many people have been burgled after they removed their panes

Funny lorries? I've seen a Newold Scaffolding lorry that says "Do you need an erection" and "Our erections take you to new heights".

Maybe: certainly it's someone of Pakistani origin, who apparently let the Ty Crepe people off £3,500 of the rent before they allegedly vanished.

It's not changed hands as often as I thought. Time's obviously just flying now I'm older


Wasabi Noodle House (2005)
Onyx (2005)
R-23 (2007)
Top Taste (2009)
Ty Crepe (2010)

I don't even remember Top Taste

Top Taste had a very small sign and I think they kept the larger R-23 one up.

What was it before Wasabi? A curry house?

Yes there is. Not as far as I know. Mostly women, some men. ladymoustaches, bikini line, glabella, linea, underarms, legs etc.

Dawn of the Raj. It had been there for decades. Was my local curry house from mid-80s 'til it shut

I just had to google glabella. Not sure what linea is either.

Think of the money you've saved, minnie.

C'mon, tweaks, I said ladybits precisely to protect your delicate eyes.

There may be locals looking for hair removal in Brixton

Wow. I've never seen that one. Always see WAT4R and the LOO one.

Is there a laundrette near the middle of Brixton?

Couple just up the hill a bit. Not seen one in town.
