Annoying bearded numpties selling cereal for £3 a bowl in poverty zone

[Leyton Gull]

Just a point of order, Hoxton is not a poverty zone, in many places in Hackney the flats are more expensive than areas of Hampstead, there is plenty of social housing in the area but flats on the open market including ex council in Hoxton go for eye watering amounts.

If people want to pay that much to live there it's up to them. I don't believe anybody is obliged to live there.

Well exactly, and in the same vein why should people demand that houses in very expensive areas are affordable. Practically everyone amongst my circle of school friends moved out of Brighton for job opportunities or cheaper housing, thats just life.

Right: the campaign for affordable housing in Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Chelsea starts here

I can but dream....... might find Brighton a bit too Hoxton beardy-weirdy these days though [emoji1]

For sure. Moved out of Brighton 25 years ago. Pined for it for the first few years. Nowadays the idea of standing in a black hole surrounded by arty fartys, paying near on 5 squid a pint, does not seem so appealing.

What, bearded people running a caff? Bet it would.....

I think it's a reasonable demand that somebody can find affordable housing in their home town / city.

Any residual sympathy, however small, for the annoying beards completely dissipated at this point...

The owners later tweeted: "We started a business to deliver an experience to cereal lovers, and have been thanked by local businesses for bringing tourists to the area."

 

[fat old seagull]

This really. They'll be hoping to drag city boys and girls off the street as they walk past. Price is comparable with a good bacon butty in town (but shouldn't be). Still look like a couple of w****** though.

I agree with all of that, but would like to add that the Lazy Arsed Beards don't have to cook the bacon or butter the roll. Just pour cereal into what appears to be a rather small bowl. Don't agree with violent anarchy, but can understand that some might. Did the Beards consider there might be a problem, or did they think it was a great way to make money .....doing nothing ?

I was not overly bothered by these two chaps...until they used the word experience!

 

[daveinprague]

I find it easier to laugh at the people going in and actually buying the shit, rather than the beardies coining it.

Can we put pubs that sell ironic fish finger sarnies for a fiver next against the wall please?

Quite. What happened to this business was bang out of order and a horrible experience for staff and customers alike. It was a criminal act. End of.

However, these two have previous form for spouting pretentious twaddle since the place opened and I really struggle to have sympathy with their personal plight. I'm not an anarchist sympathiser. I just find these two rather unlikable.

Plus they look like a pair of smug tosspots...........

Interesting that he mentioned tourists , seems like the channel 4 slot had given a significant boost to their trade . The Demo/riot will surely do them no harm at all either .

Does anybody REALLY think that Brick Lane tourism has been boosted by a couple of gone-tomorrow beards with a pathetic excuse of a business plan. Tourists go to Brick Lane for the curries, end of. Fully expecting beardies to be opening a second branch of their rubbish shop in the North Laine soonest. And probably shortly after petitioning to have the nearest live music venue closed down on account of the noise pollution and adverse financial effect on their buy-to-let property investment.

Well their businesses has survived 9 months at least and as the saying goes :- all publicity is good publicity ( unless you are VW of course )
