Yeah, seconded - I was in there on Tuesday and four of us had a great meal with wine for not much money at all, and there was a queue out the door as we were leaving. A queue, on a Tuesday! Good luck to 'em.

It's as real shame the Half Moon has gone as I would have liked to done a booze'n'gig'n'pizza jaunt over to Herne Hill.

Friend in Spenser rd had her fuel tank emptied yesterday.
Thief drilled through the bottom and took £40 of petrol.
Quite common according to the garage in Croxted Rd.

I read an article recently featuring an interview with a young chap that runs a 'gourmet' popcorn business, somehow they managed to make it into a full page spread with this innovative entrepreneur. His USB? Freshly bagged popcorn that is sold never 2 days more than when it was made. 
One of the markets he apparently visits is Herne Hill, how much a bag of this fabled, fresh, exclusive popcorn! £4.85

Bloody hell. All that effort for £40. How much will it cost to get fixed? I'd happily pay someone the £40 in cash

Exactly. What a risk to take for £40!
She's a single mum and has had to replace the whole tank

How likely is it the drilling could cause a spark?
[EDIT] apparently even 'non sparking tools' are not immune to causing sparks

He makes it there so I imagine it's all fresh on the day. Not tried it but it doesn't half make you jump when the vat of kernels suddenly explodes as you wander past bleary eyed.I read an article recently featuring an interview with a young chap that runs a 'gourmet' popcorn business, somehow they managed to make it into a full page spread with this innovative entrepreneur.

My friend's parents once had the whole engine taken out of their car while they were on holiday, and it was parked on their drive in Islington.
They only found out when the car wouldn't start (obviously) and they called a mechanic.

Now I'm no expert in these things, but wouldn't it make more sense just to go down the traditional route and steal the whole car?
That's one huge mark up - I used to make and sell cones of homemade toffee popcorn at school and guide fetes for 10p a cone* and still made 8p profit on each.<snip> One of the markets he apparently visits is Herne Hill, how much a bag of this fabled, fresh, exclusive popcorn! £4.85
*each cone was a sheet of kitchen roll, with one corner saved for the flap.

Yeah, it's a stupid mark up but I stopped trying to work these things out when the market started selling scotch eggs for four pounds

It was all boarded up shops and tumble weed when we moved in.Prices from that article

When I first moved to London from Manchester, 14 years ago, my friends were living in Loughborough Junction but were moving to Herne Hill and told me that it was a bit rough but pretty OK with a decent pub. It has not even got that now. :-(
Pretty sure one of my friends bought a nice two bed for about £150k. Me and my ex were renting a nice two bed second floor flat for £500 a month between us. Depressing.

The ethnic majority's righteous indignation about what was placed on "social media" by whom about whom coveniently obscures a simple fact.
If you are not one of the "social media" obsessed members of the local ethnic majority, then it must be an absolutely terrifying experience to wake up outside your home or to arrive at your business and find that these words appear.

Are you suggesting that the only people who were outraged by the witch hunt on social media were part of the "ethnic majority"?

someone on one of the FB West Norwood pages saying about how their tank was drilled for petrol too. Must be a thing now.
You'd be lucky to find my car with more than £20 worth in it. I wonder how they choose which car to go for. Even if a big car has an 80l tank, and they get it full, it still seems a lot of effort for £100 worth of petrol which you'll probably have to get into another car fairly sharpish.
