West Norwood news, chitter chatter and gossip

All depends what you're looking for. If you're a soul or a psych collector, then it definitely has tons of stuff for the very serious collector. The selection for psych goes deep, and I've not seen anywhere else carry a range of similar stock. The problem is, the soul and psych albums are priced at serious collectors prices - fine if you know your stuff and know the market, less so if you're a casual buyer.

That's good, I imagine that represents his own expertise/interest. I've only looked at the reggae, mostly reissues and the more well known labels/artists, all at above average prices and not that much on 45.

I'd go in there more if his books were a good price because he has a really good alternative/cult/fiction selection, but again, not competitive prices. He's been going a good coupe of years now though, so he must be doing something right to keep afloat, good luck to him.

Went into the Baron Polish and Brazilian deli on the high street today. What a fantastic place that is. Smells like you're on holiday, shelves bursting with exotic treats. I love the fact that it's quietly grown from the little shop next to Sainsburys to the bigger store its in now without losing any of its personal charm.

Is that the one with about 30 types of sausage? Up with this sort of thing

 

[boohoo]

Indeed. The article on Buzz has generated a fair bit of interest too, so hopefully that will help the shop keep on keeping on

i will be getting a golf sign with' Brixton that way' on it to send all the out of town visitors back into the inner cities. #keepingthesuburbssuburban

Stabbing on bus up by tesco/sainsbury...

Roads closed...apparently air ambulance due

 

[Maharani]

Fuck...wondered what all the traffic was about.

 

[Maharani]

I think we saw the air ambulance walking back from school.

Noticed the hot dog ice cream place is closed again...looks like they're decorating it once more .

Thankfully the police are reporting that the injuries are not life threatening or life altering.

I really wanted to like that place. He seemed like a nice guy and it was a fun idea, but I just couldn't get it when I went in.

It really isn't Outside on a busy road does not make for a chilled drink.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

The traffic....the school kids...the street walking randoms...the noise...the pollution...

....stressing me right out

 

[colacubes]

Much as I like Knowles I think I'll probably use it less in the summer than some of the other pubs with a slightly more secluded outside drinking area.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I was just walking by and decided to stop...

I was just walking by and decided to stop...

I got off the bus because I needed a piss and another pint...half the tables outside were no smoking ffs.

You can suck a lungful of diesel in from the road, but heaven forbid little *generic shitbag ashma kid name smells tobacco...

Do any of our WN shops sell paneer?

I thought they were opening their garden this summer or did I just make that up?

Afraid not. But if you take a walk into Tulse hill I'm sure M from Village Masaleh would sell you a pack of it uncooked (they offered to sell it to me before). Though it's very easy to make...let me know if you want to and I'll PM you.

The tables out front that are no smoking are in front of the glass doors that open into the street, so the place doesn't fill with smoke.

I was out the front on Saturday night. It was quite pleasant. Though at that time there were no schoolkids or commuters.

That would be good, thanks, my youngest likes paneer with her boiled rice. If we could make it together she'd love that

She has good taste.

Jade Garden has been stripped out, including all the kitchen extractor fans. Fingers crossed for a cheese, wine and rum shop. With reggae playing in the background.

The whole shop's empty so looks like that's it.

Anyone know where the nearest pharmacy open today is. I need some OTC painkillers and although Superdrug is open the pharmacy is not
