PS. Im live in N16, am working class and live on a council estate. http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2410986 Diversity? You nimbys are killing it! http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2406328 A Quote from nef Clone Town Britain survey results "We can choose to take action that will lead to thriving, diverse, resiliant local economies across the UK; or, we can do nothing and condemn ourselves to bland identikit towns dominated by a... http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2403283 I prefer that these corporate food-chains be kept out as much as possible. http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2401536 OK, as long as you would say the same had he/she put "The latest influx of the Blacks/Polish/Gays are just revolting and this campaign is a symptom."? I'll leave it up then. http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2401529 i'm with 'amused' on this one; i don't defend jm's views but he's free to express them. http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2400397 I don't think jm's comment should be deleted, he's entitled to his opinion, surely? http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2400177 Hi a.d.francis, yes I think it is and there is no place for racism or any other prejudice on this site or as part of the notonandos campaign - Shall I delete it? Not a big fan of censorship but opinions like that are pretty shameful. http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2400091 Isn't jm's comment a wee bit, er, racist? http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2399343 This anti Nandos campaign is crude snobbery. I have lived in N16 for 14 years and I have watched the profile of the area change in that time. The latest influx of the white middle class are just revolting and this campaign is a symptom. http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2382410 If anyone is interested there's another site up and running to protest. http://www.boycottnandos.org.uk/pledge/pledge.php http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2382386 Bumped into those lovely people from the council on Saturday night outside the offending premises. The current owners took down the council notices informing people how to oppose the licence. New notices have been put up and for any of you who... http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2366036 I bought my first house in N16 it was 50k. Yes this area is forever changing. Fresh and Wild is part of a chain, also Savills Estate Agents, OddBins but I guess they are okay -'cos they attract the right sort of people? Things change - you... http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2366181 Thanks Rob. I, too, favour a vibrant, diverse Church Street. Whether or not SN High Street maintains its culture depends as much on people as places. http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2367621 This whole endeavour really smacks of nimbysism. What's so bad about Nando's? I dont recall much complaint when there was a branch of Texas Fried Chicken (or similar) a few years ago where the Tea Shop now is. If people really care about the type... http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2365951 I think there are far more things to worry about than a Nandos on church street. There are numerous restaurants, and pubs that sell alcohol and I don't hear anyone making a big deal over it. Maybe the people who are complaining would be happy if... http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2365307 As well as contacting the local councilors, let the licensing department have your comments too. Their email is: licensing@hackney.gov.uk , and address: 263 Mare Street, London E8 3HT. By law they can take into account comments relating to... http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2365217 Please let's keep some parts of our city free from corporate cloning! There's probably not much wrong with one chain store moving in onto Church St. The danger is that if one is there, the others will follow. If Nandos can, why can't Starbucks,... http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2364844 I have to agree with Jacqui jameson, on this one. Its the idea that Stokey becomes just like any other high street that I'm apposed too. Tesco's has snuck in next to the police station in the high street. I think restaurants in general need to be... http://london.en-gb.pledgebank.com/NotoNandos#comment_2363282 Sorry Matthew, didn't mean it to be misleading. By law the council have to collate the complaints and the subsequent actions. I'll change the pledge. When I set it up I was led to believe that that was the case. As far as F+W go it's a bit late....
