Does it annoy you as much as 'DAWG'? [emoji1]
Where is that? It looks to be 8 of something for a plate of chips. I'm guessing its not the UK or US.
I have never been to Australia and, without looking it up, have no idea of the value of an Australian dollar, but 8 of them seems expensive for a plate of chips

Corner of Auckland Hill and Hubbard Road by the looks of it. It's a weird building that.

I had a quick look in Knowles Of Norwood, the latest bar to open in West Norwood, last night.
It's quite nice. Was busy but not super packed. Music wasn't too loud, so the atmosphere was very chatty, which was good. We had a quick look at the space out the back, and there's potential for a good beer garden there in summer. Had a chat with the assistant manager, who was very friendly and cheery.
I did look at the people there and think - where have these people come from? I thought the same with the Tulse Hill Hotel too. Crowd doesn't seem as posh as the THH and perhaps slightly younger.
There wasn't a seat so we didn't stay, but I'd like to go back on a midweek night and settle in for a drink.

Bonkers innit. There was scaffolding up on the building till very recently and I wonder if someone has subdivided one of the existing flats to add in the studio somehow
Just to let people know in the area that there appears to be a similar thing happening to cats in West Norwood as did in Croydon. Just been told in a West Norwood facebook group

Residents told to lock up pets after 21 cats are butchered and dismembered

I live a stones throw away; I thought it was odd having a kitchen by the front door, that explains it!
55 Auckland Hill also looks a little on the pokey side...

It's quite a confusing building. The front door on St Cloud is for the ground floor studio, so I guess the side door on Hubbard provides access to the rest of the building/flats. There's also a bungalow/shed extension stuck on the back with it's own front (back?) door: Google MapsBonkers innit.

Yeah I haven't quite fathomed it. It's a very odd building indeed.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Knowles is quite nice. Good mix of people from older locals to younger incomers. It doesn't feel especially fancy. Prices are good. Playing lots of 60s soul. Staff are polite and engaged. I'm not struck by the decor, but it's not bad.
Another example of how the White Hart got it so wrong.

Even four years ago, when we moved here, it was affordable. We wouldn't be able to afford to move here now, I don't reckon.

That is why we came here - to find a place for our family. Look back to the first page of this thread, started by me in 2009. I was checking out opinions on the area, as we could no longer afford to live in Brixton or Streatham Hill. Things have changed a lot since then.
