I'm well past the age of giving much of a fuck about fashion for myself, but I've always been interested in seeing how UK street fashion changes, particularly when the trends are of the home grown variety. Britain's come up with some great street fashion over the years.

That's probably why I find the whole hipster thing so dull - it's just an identical copy of Brooklyn, circa 2005.
No imagination, no twist.

That's such a hipster thing to say. 'Oh, I saw what you're all doing in Brooklyn back in 2005.':p
 
Happy Dumplings (oooer) in Market Row made me very happy over the weekend - and with 18 dumplings for £11, enough to fill up the reasonable appetites of two people, it is proper cheap eating too. (Unlike the Time Out 'cheap eat' award to the tapas lot on Acre Lane - since when is "under £50 for two" cheap?) Clean and simple, if not wildly exciting, soups as well. Much nicer dumplings than the more upmarket Mama Lan, imho, (and I've never forgotten Mama Lan for giving me nasty stomach problems, either - no such problems with Happy Dumplings. ) Just over the walkway opposite the arcade-side entrance to Nour Foods.

What did NOT make me happy was to see the antlers, glitterballs and other Christmassy crap up in Marks & Spencers' display window. It's not even November ffs. :mad:

Yes, iirc they have 5 kinds, and you can either order 6 or 10 or 18 of each type or a mixed plate of the whole lot:
- pork and spring onion - fish and ginger - prawn and ginger - beef and something - and all veg (tofu, carrot, mushroom and celery I think) .
They were all nice but to me the best were the pork and fish varieties. The veg ones still perfectly edible and nicely seasoned with ginger, but a tiny tiny bit bland.

oh wow - well that sounds perfect for our awkward mixture of utter carnivore/vegetarian and fish preferring toddler! Will remember that. Thanks.
 
Just remembered that I saw two pony-and-traps pelting south down a clear patch of Brixton Road on Saturday afternoon.

Looked very :cool: but I can't believe they raced down Brixton High Street, so I wonder where they turned off or where they were going.
