Right? I mean I don't mind if it's genuinely good food. But that's what I'm asking the people who've eaten there: is it?

Sea Cow.

I had a look at their prices and noped the hell out of there, but I do see people in there eating. So for the one's who've been: what's it like? A symphony of breaded or battered fish deluxe decorated with ever so politely placed chips, all complimented with sprinklings of salad? Or is it just bog standard fish and chips...? I mean the chicken shop's right there, it's not like they can pretend....

I doubt it. They choose DSS for a reason: the flat's not up to standards for anyone else to live there

We can only hope.

Ah you're not missing much, but essentially if it's a really hot day and you want a cold drink that will last you a long long time -- then a coffee cooler is the way to go: Take a sip, top it up with water (x1000)

no no, I was talking croydon

^ they're in the public spotlight though. They have to, else face serious criticism. Most millionaires I know would keep it a secret, then again I don't know any millionaires ( :O )

I know that Starbucks do something similar, but it's 10x more sugary and sticky. Last time I tried Nero they practically laughed me out the shop when I asked for it, and I'm reasonably sure the local cafe's (though offering probably superior coffee blends) don't do it.

> Anyway, cafes who put a blob of basil pesto on tomatoes in a side salad Just wanted jump on this and say: cafes and retailers that think salad is just scattered veg and loose leafs with a bit of garlic sauce. NO! You're meant to *slice* the veg - you lazy cunts - into small pieces and there should be bits of cucumber, cabbage, tomatoes, rocket, and celery in it. Jumble it up and add a bit of lemon juice and/or olive oil -- that's a bloody salad. Add sweetcorn or feta or whatever the hell you want to it after that, just at least do me the courtesy of the first part.

So... where is one? Nero we've got by the roundabout, Starbucks is now married to Sainsbury's, but where's the nearest Costa? I quite like my Coffee Cooler, and they're unfortunately the only franchise that do it (Starbucks Coffee Frapuccinno is not the same thing) -- but a quick google search shows that there aren't any for miles around. That can't be right can it? There must be one on Denmark Hill at least?

Also, the royal family is neccesary scapegoat for the government. If there ever was massive dissent towards the government from the public, and people started clamoring for change - it would be the royal family they throw under the bus to settle us down. They haven't had to yet, so maybe let's start lighting some fires?

You'll be fine. I used to live in an area where there were frontdoor shootings up the road, a firearm supposedly went off in my neighbours house (and armed police stormed the place), and several shady looking kids were always gathered by the station. Nothing ever happened. Any incident would always be a personal matter between two parties or gang-related. Unless you're in a gang, or do something to specifically piss someone off - you'll be fine.
