Mrs Poppadum says that there are high hopes for the food shop opening in Hove next to restaurtant Otello in New Church Road in six weeks' time. She has also heard that an organic food store will open near the Library.
Let us hope that Tesco feels the pinch!

Of Course not.

So London Road is not the up and coming you led us to believe LTNS. In fact it is a chav road if I read you meaning correctly. |

| As the rest of Hove appears to be going organic, Greggs will have to bake a special Hove pasty to keep "market share". |

True ... but it concerns the Co-op. You did mention the Co-op didn't you? |

| Has LTNS a view of the Hove Greggs? Is it superior to the London Road premises? When he is in the Hove Co-Op he can hardly resist nipping along for one of those pasties which, according daveb, Greggs grow. |

George Street is good.
Back to the thread
most of us Park in Tesco
do some shopping in the Co-Op up the top
load it then do the shopping in the Tesco.
Having new Organic store
should be a good change. |

| When LTNS attempted a do-it-yourself experiment with recycling cooking oil through the petrol tank, a few chips were still at the bottom of the pan and, very soggy, these went in with the oil, and the two-stroke engine has never been quite the same since but all three wheels do stay on the road most of the time. |

| In her lunchtimes Mrs Poppadum sometimes succumbed to hot take-away food from Cottinghams in Church Road but they have stopped doing this. How will this ex-Cullens store face up to the new one next to Orsino? But perhaps Chruch Road can take more quality than London Road, Brighton ever dreams of. |

The Hove organic pastie has to be grown. Actually.
"Organicus Pastilla Hovus" to give it the true name of the genus Yummiefillus.
None of the cheap Brighton immitations.

I am confused thought that it was 'Organicus Pastilla Hova Actuallis'.
Isn't Yummiefillus wot you get in London Road ? |

There are minor differences between the Pastilla Hovus and the Hova Actuallis. Though originally it was thought that they are two distinct and separate subdivisions of the Organicus Pastilla it has been discovered, thanks to the unstinting labour of Longus Timus Non Seus that in fact they are but the seasoned differences.
(one is grown on horse dung the other on cow manure - hence the difference in seasoning) |

My mistake, 'Organicus Pastilla Hova Actuallis' is correct.
However wot you get in London Road is not yummiefillus, far worse, it is runnyfillus, for which you can get tablets. |

I did not know that the Romans got as far as Hove, let alone Portslade.
Perhaps this is why Hove has straight roads? The clever Romans must have bypassed Brighton's rod problems, and had theirs sights on Cornwall in quest of the perfect pasty.
History could have been very different if they had found it. |

It is a little known fact that on Christmas Eve in 41BC - but then the then incumbent Hovarians were renown for their forward thinking - a young woman, riding an ass, made her way to the hamlet known as Hovarium. Having been allocated a space in the barn attached to the local inn she proceeded to give birth - at the stroke of midnight (but as the umbilical cord was not severed till 5 minutes later the time was recorded as 0:05). She never did disclose who the father of the tyke was but it is noted that she called the lad Longus Timus In Cummingus.
The pair moved to Hangletonium where in due course LTIC married ... the family line can be traced for those who are really into genealogy. For myself, I have always found the above sufficient trivia. |

| All this, from a time when beards were everywhere, explains the genetic background to the current obsession with them shown by Longus Tempus Non Visiblis (known to his intimates as Greggsus). |

Professor C.G. McGilligan's 1965 study of Diet among the Romans (Yale University Press) was literally groundbreaking because he, and his assistants, based this work upon several archeological forays, and there was something of a sensation at the time because they found, perfectly preserved, a collection of
a delicacies which the Romans knew as panis longus thunnus.
Professor McGilligan surmised - to some controversy - that as well as being a popular Latin lunchtime snack, the number of cracked skulls in the vicinitiy means that these bread concoctions quickly went rock hard and were used as a punishment.
"They seem to have had something of the Flinstones about them," he said. |
