Tulse Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

[T & P]

I was wondering why there were no fallen trees in the surrounding streets. When I first saw the damage I expected the entire South London area to be flattened.

So gaijinboy just said that Lazy Rhubarb guy closed cos he's moving to either Devon or Dorset or Spain or somewhere like that. He has great attention to detail gaijinboy.

I tried to buy a Lazy Rhubarb three times. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but, on the occasional payday or whenever, I might treat myself.

Each time he was closed. Signs up saying he was on holiday, was taking the fortnight over Christmas off etc. Each time I went to Carlos and though I've maybe been in on average once per year, he recognised me, says hello etc.

I can't comment on his coffee or cakes but, as far as service goes, it's good riddance to Lazy Rhubarb for me and my £2. He should just have called the shop Lazy Proprietor.

Man take holiday. Smick take piss

Is that why his shop is closed? He's on holiday?

All rotten from fungus, and all the other trees on the road are the same

they look a bit big to be cherry trees, what are they? Ash dieback hasn't hit london has it?

Cherry trees get very big, given enough time - think mature pear tree size (a lot taller than a mature apple tree), but they remain quite slender - unlike oaks and apples. BTW the chestnut fungus has hit S London, and AFAIK ash dieback is present too.

Ash Dieback sounds like the lead singer of a crap rock band.

Landlord at the WH is very unimpressed with this pen warrior wanker

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Not cool.

If I was him I'd be more pissed off with the wanky football stickers in the first place.

He left to 'start again' in Barcelona. To start what again I'm not so sure. I went in twice and noticed how filthy he was the second time, grimy fingernails and quite a sweatpot...made me glad to hear he was off out of Tulse hill. No way to run a business.

You'd be more pissed off about stickers than someone scrawling racist shit (Inc a swastika, nf and bnp) in your bogs? That's a bit weird.

 

[Maharani]

Looks like the stickers are on a screen. Surel they just peel off or are they those really sticky ones you need to scrape off?

The old Ladbrokes opposite the former Fire Station is being refitted at the mo, no sign of what it's to be yet though.

Whoever said funeral directors was right. Co-op.

Yeah I saw that yesterday. We already have a funeral directors in WN. Boring!

Estate agents and funeral directors seem to be the growth industries in WN.

Should have put this in the WN thread, this can't be Tulse

It's a khazi cistern, not a screen!

Both Tulse Hillians and West Norwoodians might like to rant/comment on this map - to do with the town improvement planning...

Commonplace West Norwood and Tulse Hill comments

my favourite comment so far is "I would like to see tall buildings here. Proper skyscrapers like they have in Hong Kong and Canary Warf. It's the ideal place - there's a bus depot and a train station right there. " (the marker for this is placed just behind the bus station)

Nazi shit dealt with

 

[Fingers]

Landlord came over ten mins later and said "Fingers, you been to the toilets already?" Ha ha

 

[Fingers]

Landlord presented up with a three quarter tumbler fill of neat Janeson's after the Man City win tonight. Promised us untold amounts if we go through to the final. What is there not to love about this boozer?

 

[Fingers]

To be honest, wish the Nazi shit had been removed before we did it.......

 

[Thimble Queen]

No not on a screen. The stickers as others have said are on a cistern.

Football stickers vs racist graffiti?? Really? No comparison.

Glad you sorted it Fingers, finally. Shame on the landlord for not sorting it earlier.

Thanks. Yeah I am not sure why he had not dealt with it. It had been there at least two weeks:-(

It's in the photo in the post you were responding to but fair enough if you didn't see it.
