Spoon Deli, New Park Road, and other local shops

[editor]

How's things in Watford?

Hi

What's your nearest rail station?

I rest my case.

 

[Kanda]

I live very close to the Spoon deli and frequent the place, in fact if you're ever there just after 6pm on a weekday evening you might even see me there or at the veg shop next door.

I love the place, although my wallet often suffers for a day or so afterwards. Plus, Nell is cute.

Hmm.. do you drink in any of the Pubs on NPR????

 

[Ms T]

The Mediterranean shop on Streatham High St is ace - vats of olives and loads of cheeses and sausage/meats for the Polish with a bakery/butchers next door. I'm so glad that shop exists

The shopping in Streatham's really not that bad at all

That is a good shop. And the greengrocers across the road is also excellent. And I am a also a big fan of the British Heart Foundation Bookshop.

What time do they all shut though?

 

[Pieface]

Med shop is open until 11pm I think. It's always open late in any case.

The last time I went into a pub was October, and that was in Somerset. Never been to any of the pubs on New Park Road, as I don't drink alcohol I can think of better things to do than spend silly money drinking anything in a pub when I can have something at home for a fraction of the price.

 

[Pieface]

phew

I think you're sort of missing the point of a pub...

Not really.

Very few of my friends are drinkers, or live in the immediate area, so there wouldn't be much reason to go out with them to the pub.

I'm in a relationship so I don't need to go out 'on the pull', nor to 'score some gear' as I don't do drugs.

Can't think of any other reason to go to a pub.

However, at least you only have to fight through the smokers at the door now, rather than spending the whole evening suffering second hand smoke.

Yep, you've definitely missed the point.

 

[ajdown]

Care to enlighten me then, o wise one?

 

[brix]

No, 'cause then you might realise what you're missing out on and turn up in The Hand in Hand

 

[ajdown]

It's unlikely, to be honest, although I might just come along one night to annoy you unless you tell me.

 

[Not a Vet]

AJ, I'm curious, have you ever drunk alcohol? Do you not like the taste or is it a lifestyle choice?

Bit of both really.

Funnily enough went in there yesterday after buying a Xmas tree. Bought a black pudding and some Brindisa chorizo. I liked the look of the cheese but I didn't need any so exercised some rare self-control.

I'd go more often but it's not really local to me.

I served you.

 

[linerider]

Looks nice, but it's practically in Brighton!

I travel to work there and I've stopped getting allitude sickness.

 

[El Jefe]

[ajdown]

I served you.

[ajdown]

Well assuming it isn't Nell, I've seen a black woman and a white guy working in there, plus Nell's partner/boyfriend/whatever he is dropping by from time to time, so it doesn't give many options.

 

[quimcunx]

[linerider]

Hello.

[linerider]
