I keep thinking it's a bit of hackney but then I think that about most london based adverts

I decided to look at advert. Here's opposite Kennington Park



and if you look for Aero Bubbly Chocolate on Facebook and look at the first video, it's definitely Kennington

you're probably right Minnie - I just get home sick for Hackney sometimes (well it was my home for over 20 years)

I'm not probably right. I am definitely right

Tonight was one of those nights when I realised all is not lost.

Reggae night at the Queens was a proper old school night. But don't tell anyone.

 

[Badgers]

Yeah

 

[Frumious B.]

please could anyone tell me if they saw any parking suspension notices around Rushcroft Road, yesterday or today?

Haven't noticed any, could have a look in a bit. Which bit of Rushcroft Road?

And he gave me some of his fabulous sourdough starter which is still going strong after several years in my kitchen and producing delicious bread which doesn't cost £3+ a loaf. What's TTB btw.

TTB=Transition Town Brixton. Nice work on the breadmaking!

Thank you for the offer..but this was on Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning a notice must of been put up...just we never saw any notices and got a ticket on the Wednesday morning....by the time we saw the ticket any notices must of been taken down also have no idea why parking was suspended either......

Yes!

Yeah, cos you *hate* champagne and good cheese...

But guilty. Hipster as FUCK, me.

 

[TruXta]

Champagne and cheese are both good, but does nothing special for me in combination.

Son of a BITCH that sounds like good food.

Fizzy wine goes with everything. It's like leopardprint in that respect.

I know it is not what is wanted for the town but if Spangles needs anyone to go with her......?
I can't help it if I love champagne and cheese
Forgive me.

It's a date.

Does not. Fizzy wine and steak? Fuck off.

And leopardprint does not go with me, nor most men IME.

Whilst I have your attention - name me good cafes/pubs around but not in Crystal Palace please, preferrably on the eastern side.

 

[spanglechick]

Which side's east? Towards Sydenham? Ruby toogood is the woman. But I'm on my phone and suspect that didn't link to her.

 

[leanderman]

Rarely drink wine out and almost never champagne.

Makes no sense in terms of pounds per alcohol unit

Sydenham yer.
