Is BEM on CHL still open? Last few times I've walked past it's been shut "for refurbishment".
Really hope it stays.
 
Well they are chatting to their friend, same as they would be if they were walking round looking for somewhere else they fancy that doesn't have a queue.
 
what's the score with them, then? are they really something special, or just like a burger king but in an ironic box or something?

Different planet to BKing. Honest Burger does a really, really good burger and fantastic chips for £6-8.

Makes burger chain places, such as Byron and GBK, look crap and costly.
 
Does queuing for a meal make it cool? :/ it just makes me hungry/grumpy
Half hour queues for beers at the Effra Social on Friday night and very pushy. My mates were very grumpy indeed by the time they came back with the drinks. It was busy - but not extraordinarily so. They just seemed to be slow.

At what time was that Rushy? I was going to head down their next Friday, but will give it a miss if that's the case.

We were there from 10.30ish until 1 - it was still slow at the end. Gremio, on the other hand, was empty just after 1. But their restaurant still hasn't opened - think it opens Thursday.

Be sending my Spanish acquaintances this review. Loads of young Spanish in London now as there are no jobs in Spain when u leave school/ college.
 
Is there a decent chippy anywhere in Brixton? The one on Acre Lane does good chips but their fish is rotten. I've a sudden craving for a fish supper n mushy peas.

No fraid not. :(

JD Sports closing down?

Really? What makes you say that? :)

Also, I seem to recall years ago that there was a trainer shop in the street running behind Body Shop, or it might have been the Bon Marche building, is it still there?
 
The chips from the chippie on Coldharbour Lane (opp the Barrer Block) are pretty good. No idea about the fish though.
