Got a message from Mrs R yesterday afternoon saying the consultant on her hospital ward had seen Nat West in Camberwell on fire, an angry mob near McDonalds and that The Gruniad website confirmed Camberwell as one of the areas most likely to be hit by rioters.
Cycled through Camberwell at 5pm to be reminded that Nat West became HSBC years ago, there was no fire, no rioters, not even a copper.
Gave Mrs R a bell to confirm all fine, at which point the consultant had to change her story and confess it was someone else who saw the 'fire' and she hadn't actually been there at all

It's Midland that became HSBC. Nat West is still there.
Still, it's really annoying when people spread rumours like that.
Went for birthday dinner with Sparrow last night at the Crooked Well, which used to be Le Petit Parisien. Pricey, but truly excellent food and friendly, quick service. Highly recommended
Yes it is good - it was reviewed in the paper the other day http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/aug/14/jay-rayner-crooked-well-camberwell since when my general perception is that it is fuller whenever I walk past which is good

It's on my list of places to go. It's a very long list.
Time Out gave it a good review as well.

They were part of some kinda of Arty thing - only up for a week, I smapped them but never got round to uploading
I've had good service at the Pullman Garage on Carew Street on the corner of Lilford road - doing a quick google i see they have a website http://www.pullmangarage.co.uk/ - the quality of the garage services is much better than the quality of their website!

A thread is only as interesting as the people who post on it.

No word on Snowbird???!!
Can't believe this has flown below the Camberwell chatter radar!
The former Funky Munky now boasting a great (if Brodies-heavy) ale selection as well as the best range of delicious Euro and Yankee quality proper lagers I've seen for a v long while. 3 third-pint measures can be savoured, served in a nice bat with a bowlful of mixed crunchy-salty things.
Hermit's Cave crew seem to be running things. Same unaspected interior as before. Anodyne music, but the drinks and street-views are close to pub-heaven.

Served in a bat?
Do you mean the Irish guys who used to run the Hermits?
Will have to meet you there for a drink, Mr Rocket.
On another (perhaps sadder) note according to the chatter on Camberwell Online http://www.camberwellonline.co.uk/ the landlord of the Sun and Doves on Coldharbour Lane is due to be evicted on Wednesday owing to high rent demands from the pub company. He is one of the founders of the Fair Pint campaign http://www.fairpint.org.uk/ and has done a lot for the pub since he started in the mid-90s

Bollocks - as I said above, the rumour came from a hospital consultant, not some East Dulwich Forum.
I have a feeling its called Stormbird rather than Snowbird but as its doesnt seem to have very prominent signs up it can be anything we want it to be

Called away to another place
There's a jumblesale in Lucas Gardens on Sunday if anyones interested
