Brixton food & drink news: new restaurants, bars, pop ups, cafes and more

[T & P]

I've absolutely no idea why you're working yourself up into a major froth over this and insisting that people start referencing a completely unrelated thread from over a year ago, but I sure as hell can't be bothered with it.

This thread is about new food and drink outlets in Brixton. Everyone Is entitled to an opinion on that topic, but you banging on about "Case 1" like it's some sort of vital, ongoing courtroom cross-examination is, frankly, completely fucking unhinged.

I thought it’d be crystal clear: in one case we have heavy objections from you and at least one other poster to a new member simply being challenged by another poster, and in another the very same people who complained about new posters being given a rough treatment are either directly involved in giving another new poster the very same welcome or subsequently challenging them.

The subject of the threads in question is completely irrelevant. The issue here is the completely opposite treatment of a new poster in here, seemly depending on whether you agree or disagree with their viewpoint.

Either both new posters were treated disrespectfully or neither were. The subject of the thread or the time elapsed are completely irrelevant to the issue. Unless you perhaps believe the double standards question by the established poster in the other was disrespectful, but your ‘Awesome. I’m so happy for you’ retort to Marilla here was not.

 

[Gramsci]

Let me shorten my question as much as I can

In this thread you strongly objected to a new poster being challenged with nothing more offensive than the question “Doesn’t that amount to double standards?”, and went on to express your opinion that the poster who asked that question was having a go at the new poster. And also made it undoubtedly clear in your subsequent posts that you thought that contribution amounted to being hostile, or at the very least unwelcoming and in detriment of the forum.

So my question is, do you agree or disagree that some of replies in this thread to new poster Marilla are similarly unwelcoming and in detriment of the forum as those in the S&P thread you personally objected to?

I've already given you a reply to your original question.

No, the issue is the new bars and food establishments in Brixton.

If you wish to discuss 'the treatment of new posters' and 'CASE 1,' start a thread in the feedback forum where you might possibly find someone remotely interested in trawling through threads containing hundreds of posts and cross-referencing them on other threads to see whatever point it is you're trying to make.

Good luck with that, but you will be banned from this thread if you continue this off-topic disruption.

Why do new posters have to get a 'friendly' welcome, this is not the 6th form.
It's a message board so anything you post is up for scrutiny, that's how they work.

Well. Happy New Year to all of you.

Less beef folks. Its a forum about Brixtons food places, not Judge Rinder

I completely agree, and I wish nothing more going forward than members new and old using this thread for nothing more than giving their opinions or feedback on Brixton’s bars and eateries, and of course for their opinion on any given venue to be treated with due respect even if it’s something one does not agree with.So line drawn here, everyone... And Happy New Year to all.

 

[Gramsci]

One of my New year's resolutions is to put this thread in ignore from now.

Looks like Brew Dog are doing free refills of draft alcohol free beer during January.

That’s good. They offer the only palatable alcohol-free beer I’ve ever come across in this country.

Goes to show how cheap this booze free beer is to produce if they are advertising giving it away for free. I wonder how much a pint of it is? Clearly they have worked out that if a person buys 1 pint of this at full price but drinks 3 they are still making enough money for it to be a worthwhile promotion.

Plus they aren’t paying any alcohol duty on it which is about 42p on a 5% pint.

This isn't Fight Club.

Is Carioca shutdown now? Looked shutdown or in refurb mode yesterday (Sunday 12 January 2020).

 

[editor]

This isn't Fight Club.

Neither is it the softy-wofty-touchy-feely club. Now I'd like to know why the exclusive, upmarket Laundry is allowed to shove this big wooden sign advertising their unaffordable cocktails in the street. It's already a narrow pavement as it is.

 

[aka]

Breaking the first rule of 'softy-wofty-touchy-feely club', yer Editor says the gloves can come off! Wooop.

Anyway - back OT. The very least that Laundry will need is Public Liability Insurance. Always fun posting about insurance.

Laundry will also need to get permission from Lambeth Council under their planning regulations. There is no national specific legislation preventing it though. Laundry are most likely from the 'forgiveness not permission' school. HTH.

It seems they 'must leave at least 1.8 metres of clear space on the pavement so that people can pass, including those with disabilities. ' I'm not seeing 1.8m here. How about you?

Oh and seeing as it's in a conservation area, this rule applies:

You must get consent from the appropriate planning authority if you want to place an A Board in a conservation area.

But this lot don't give a fuck.

Like I posted - Laundry need permission. No idea if they have it.

Seeing as it clearly breaks the rules, I very much doubt it - which sums up the arrogance of many of these incoming businesses.

Yet another fucking chain is moving into Electric Avenue selling yet more fucking fried chicken.

Otoh it meant the working class could afford meat more than once a week.

meat rationing didn’t end until 1954, factory farms was what the uk needed in the 1950’s

alex_ Eating electrically stunned chicken is more aesthetically pleasing than Horsemeat from Coldharbour Lane - mainly because the mechanics are hidden.

I was trying to argue ad hominem. Like the pioneer of English factory farming consorted with Hayek and that lot.
Normally on here ad hominem accusations go down a treat. Are you a Libertarian, a Blairite or simply a Contrarian?
I think we should be told.

Pretty sure that the 'factory farms' of the 1950s bear little relation to the industrial complexes that are utilised for mass slaughter these days.

The factory farms of the 1950s were what the bloke in the quoted post Antony fisher invented.

Apparently the way to tell if you've been sold horse rather than beef steak (if frying) is that horse is very watery.
But I've never knowingly eaten it.

I took a bite in Iceland once. It was a bit watery yes
