Champagne & Fromage opening in Brixton soon

[TruXta]

An actual beach in Brixton would've been awesome. Can't someone build one?

 

[ska invita]

How do you know there's been flaunting?

its an open-faced champagne bar in the middle of a market - how can it not be flaunting?

Perhaps Lambeth could contact the Mears brothers? It could be awesome

Oh absolutely, I hate open-faced shops. Especially all those Brixton fishmongers, flaunting their wares

 

[editor]

Hard to flaunt a cheap bit of flounder, I would have thought.

Winot's argument is floundering.

 

[cesare]

Winot's argument is floundering.

He's a dab hand at that.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Female fish flaunt fins to attract a mate

 

[TruXta]

He's a dab hand at that.

Uh huh.

 

[cesare]

Uh huh.

You're meant to reply with another fish pun

 

[Winot]

I've been done up like a kipper :-(

 

[Rushy]

I'm getting tired of listening to the same old tuna.

 

[cesare]

I'm getting tired of listening to the same old tuna.

Pollacks.

 

[Rushy]

Pollacks.

Hmm. That's a bit rude. I think it's about time you came down from your perch.

"Flaunting" requires intention on the part of the seller. It's got nothing to do with the price of the goods.

 

[Crispy]

Fish puns? Well that's another 5 pages sorted.

Not necessarily. Anyone who's visited a poor country is likely to know what it is like to sit there eating/drinking while people who couldn't possibly afford to do what you're doing walk by. The attitude of the onlooker is also important - you can be flaunting something without intending to, simply by being thoughtless.

Shame there's no such thing as a moany old granddad fish.

Stop casting your weight around, Musselini

 

[Rushy]

This is way off topic. We're supposed to be talking about Guppies Out.

Indeed. Lambeth is one of the most deprived London boroughs [-] and Coldharbour is the poorest ward in Lambeth:

Coldharbour is the poorest ward in Lambeth. Three in five residents are social housing tenants (61% v 38% overall); two thirds of whom rent from council ALMOs 38 (Lambeth Living and United Resident’s Housing) or TMO 39 and a third from housing associations (40% and 21% respectively).

Almost exclusively, this housing is provided on housing estates (59%). Receipt of several government benefits is high; over a third receive child benefit (38% compared to 28%) and housing benefit (34% v 21%), while one in five receive council tax benefit (22% v 14%), income support (20% v 12%) and tax credits (21% v 12%). More are unemployed and available for work (13% v 8%).

Coldharbour residents are among the most dissatisfied and disenfranchised in the borough. One in five are unhappy with their local area as a place to live (19% v 10%) and feel strongly that they cannot influence decisions affecting the local area (23% definitely disagree compared to 18% borough-wide).

interesting technical distinction , but I think you should put your dicitonary definitions away, its really not complicated, I find this place offensive and others do too. If you dont understand why after 70 pages there's no hope explaining. Oh, and its just as much about the customers as it is the seller, in fact more so.

I dont know, maybe ive got some kind of archaic attitude to this, people seem more shameless about consumption these days... the list of things I find ostentatious in London is a long one.

but this is the emotional impact of the place - runs in tandem to the economic impact

 

[Onket]

I look forward to you making the exact same point again in a few pages time.

And then again a few pages after that.

Fish puns are better, FFS.





Fin.

I thought she said she lived in Camberwell

I think one of her articles said she was from Camberwell.

No denying that. But if you live in social housing and have a job, you can probably, if you so wish, afford to go somewhere like C+F occasionally as a treat. It's not on quite the same scale as many holiday resorts around the world, where tourists sit in restaurants and spend the equivalent of a couple of weeks' local wages on a meal.
