I walk/cycle past that every single day multiple times and I still haven't gotten up the courage to go in... I worry it might be a bit League of Gentlemeny..

Yeah I know. But it's not even worth a mention as it's so crap
Thanks for that beer info tarannau. I did admit I was probably out of date, and because Streatham isn't all that near, I haven't visited all that often in the past either.

well the cheapest (thats not totally shit quality-wise) that i've found is £70. Anything less than that would be greatMinnie_the_Minx said:

Maybe I like the misery
I'm fed up of paying £500 a month rent for a tiny flat when I can go up the hill and get a place twice the size for the same, or less. And I'll be nearer to the rest of the Brixton crew who are steadily becoming the Streatham crew one by one.Farmer Giles said:Gentrification got to you Rob????

they just can't cope with the thrill of moving to zone 4 all in one go, so they're doing it in stages. You mark my words, another few years and everyone will be SE25...

Don't really know. There's a Cash Convertors but I don't know whether they'd have any.
This one from Phillips has got good reviews on Amazon so I bought it for myself at Christmas.
Found it here though much cheaper

i always swore the south circular was my definite barrier in terms of how far out i'd go, but we're only about 2 minutes beyond it and we do have a balcony

thanks for that, that looks great... my only problem with ordering off the internet is i can never be home to receive it and end up running around on the weekends trying to figure out where in the postal system my lost product is floating.Minnie_the_Minx said:
sorry for being ignorant but what/where is a cash convertors?

It's a chain of pawn shops basically. It's opposite what used to be the Kwik Save... what is it now, Somerfields or something?waverunner said:

Not got any neighbours or friends you can trust to take delivery?
The thing about the one that someone else mentioned from Tescos is will it play other Region DVDs?
The Phillips one plays all regions, plus CDs etc.

hmmm... is that the place that at the moment is actually nothing, and they are doing refurb. or opening a new store or something? walked past last night and saw a load of shelves being put up and what looked like detergent being carted around.Dubversion said:
aha, maybe the trade in stolen Play Stations has dropped right off.

i wish i did minnie! i've only been living in my flat a week and a bit, haven't met my seemingly antisocial neighbours yet, and all my friends live miles away so would be pointless them accepting for me. am a lonely soul in streatham!!!Minnie_the_Minx said:
i could get it delivered to work but then lugging it home would be a nightmare (work at moorgate)...waverunner

somerfields does my head in. there's no space to move around in and their range of products is dire. ooo i hate little supermarkets. sorry just had to get that off my chest.tarannau said:Ah, Somerfield, who opened in a blaze of glory with a sign proclamining themselves 'The best supermarket in Streathham Hill' or thereabouts.
It took about 5 years for the misspelling to be corrected...
trust me. Somerfields is better than the old Kwiksave

ha can't imagine how crap that was then. they should just get rid of all little supermarkets and just have a nice row of shops... a butcher, grocer, household goods shop thingy, sweet shop and so on and so on. with good prices. and nice people behind the counter.Dubversion said:

I bought my first ever bottle of vodka at that Kwik Save.
Well, I say "my" bottle, but it was to take away on a school trip for the lot of us, and one git drank pretty much the whole lot one night before I ever got any and was very sick.
Oh, and my memories of the White Lion are walking all the way down the high road shopping, and ending up near there thinking "I'm knackered, I could do with a pint and a sit-down, maybe I'll go in there... oh, actually, maybe not".
