Yep Ken's is loads better than Olley's

We used to live just by Ken's - it's OK but personally I'd recommend the one at the top of Herne Hill.

I have a spectacular hangover, and fish m&s chips would proper sort me out. But really not sure I can make it that far :-(

May try and bribe the northerner to do a food run. Or just look at Badgers' photo so I'm not hungry any more....

I recommend toffee popcorn in milk.

I don't think I have any milk. And I definitely don't have toffee popcorn. And I think tesco may just about push me over the edge right now...

In the fridge I have two bottles of champagne, 8 bottles of wine, tonic water, four kinds of jam, a jar of lemon curd and nine assorted pieces of citrus fruit.

None of that is going to do much for my hangover :-(

 

[Frumious B.]

You shouldn't really keep champagne in the fridge for more than a couple of days. It loses its fizz. You might as well just drink it all now. That'll sort you out.

Don't you remember the trouble you got into the last time you mentioned champagne?

I noted that the other day there was a COLE NOT DOAL poster on the Angel and thought it was probably for some sort of retro 80s chic club for posh kids.

There's some filming going on in Valentia Place with two rather splendid 1980s police cars parked on the road, and some retro posters on the Angel, including a fine NUM one.

I saw one of those 'spastic' society collecting boxes in the form of a boy wearing calipers outside the fish stall on Atlantic rd on Sat. Must have been for the same film

 

[bluestreak]

i want one of them for the garden.

Ken's is the one half way down Half Moon Lane.

 

[leanderman]

Am confused. Which chippie is the best. And exactly where?

 

[Orang Utan]

Midgeley's or Bryan's in Leeds

 

[Manter]

the Golden Haddock, Withernsea

 

[leanderman]

Next time I am in Yorkshire ... but which Herne Hill chippie?

That's been there for years! Ask one of the LS Mash boys about it next time you're passing - there's a back story iirc.

Really I've never noticed it before. Go on what's the story?

Can't remember the details - ask the boys.

Innit? I can't remember it not ever being there and I've lived here over 30 years.

New french bakery opening in the parade of shops at the Brixton Hill end of Upper Tulse Hill in the next few days. Will update once I've eaten some pastries.
