What was the result then?

They lost their license, but they're still open, so they must have found a legal loophole. It's almost imposible to get an off-license closed down in Lambeth.

walked down to the kitchen shop today and noticed that some lovely new trees have been planted. Really nice!

We have a kitchen shop?

(Hopefully you're not refering to the back corner of the This That and the Other Discount Store)

no... the Homeware shop next to This, That and the Other.. 1/3 kitchen stuff, 1/3 curtains, 1/3 framing. Great shop!

(kitchen shop as in - electric whisks and icing bags etc as opposed to B&Q kitchens... )

I have been buying cans in G7 / Pricecutter bur might swap to this guy if he is being hassled.

Oh yeah. I know the one. I buy plastic boxes there.

Maybe you should discuss that with the owners of G7 and Pricecutter first. They might have a different perspective.

since Mr Patel was ousted, I haven't been too keen on G7. Pricecutter have been generally decent though.

It just highlights though that there are so many outlets selling drinks nearby that revoking licenses means nothing.

The others all sell spesh, K, Dragon stout etc.

Also, unrelated to alcohol licenses, a new café is going to open on Station Rise in October. Lazy Rhubarb is its name and it will be open from 7am - 8pm. In the shop which had a sign announcing a new hairdresser.

I got that flyer today. It sounds great. They have a facebook page here:

next they'll be a wet fish shop and a kite shop and it will be victoria park village all over again

It would be great if they pedestrianised Station Rise. The only vehicles ever there are minicabs or British Transport Police. I had a cup of tea outside the Blackbird in HH today after finishing the Parkrun and it was lovely.

I think that would be nice too - the cobbles and the station itself is lovely. They've planted lots of nice bamboo next to those new flats too. It could be lovely. Then Greenz, the restaurant by the station (that just changed its name) and Cruz 5 a day etc and this new place, could have tables outside which would be nice.

Then the Sunday farmers' market would start! It's so easy to see how these things happen. It's like Herne Hill!

Don't suppose the taxi rank would be delighted though.

The dodgy knife wielding street drinkers on the corner would have to go though

Do they wield knives....

A very long time ago....

there's a nasty piece of work that lingers around west norwood station who asks you if you know where to score 'gear' who gets very pushy and verbal if you ignore him. twice he's gotten up in my grill now.

 

[Pinggoombah]

Mine Bar is in trouble again. There's a notice in their window. Apparently they've been disturbing the neighbours with loud music.

 

[Smick]

What chance is there of Knowles of Norwood opening then?

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I think we lack cheese and champagne.

The one they announced four years ago, you mean?

I think they sold it. Certainly it's available to rent now (30k pa)

 

[Smick]

No, it's supposed to be more or less opposite Mine, in This, That and The Other.

I had wondered whether the flats above would object.

I'd imagine those complaining about Mine will have made their feelings known already.

 

[Pinggoombah]

Oh yes. Here it is.

54 public comments. Most of them very positive.

Adele used to live above that shop. She probably regrets moving away now that there's going to be such a great pub there.

 

[Smick]

I'd say Adele misses This, That and the Other even to this day. She may have millions and travel first class throughout the globe, having her every whim catered for, but what does she do when she's in Beverly Hills and needs to buy a canvas print of Audrey Hepburn?

I was reminded by Mrs R at the weekend that you're right there Nanker.

Is that the same bloke who's been outside the Co-op this last week demanding 40p from everyone. Got quite aggressive with me and started to follow me, cheeky fucker.

 

[BigMoaner]

is west norwood being gentrified?

 

[gaijingirl]

some news nicked from another forum.. that camera shop (which is really useful/handy) is closing down.. apparently. And the former Natwest is going to become a Pedder estate agent.

 

[clandestino]

Is that the kind of computer type shop next to Beamish & McGlue? If not, I reckon that might not be long for this world either...

I wonder what the office block next to the salvation army will become. That's up for rent now...
