The Blues want to relocate to Wembley for three years and a £20m-a-year deal has reportedly been agreed.But they have also held talks with the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) about a temporary move to the Olympic Stadium, which will become West Ham's home from next season.It would mean West Ham receiving a significant discount on their £2.5m-a-year rent for the 60,000-seater stadium.
Chelsea are also understood to be considering a switch to Twickenham

I can't wait to tell the Arsenal about this thread. |
I imagine the Arsenal will be too busy discussing the latest Ottolenghi recipes to care. |  |

Budgen's is going to become a Co-Op so we're waiting with baited breath if it's going to remain poncy. |
It's in Crouch End, so you'd hope so.
My Dad used to help out at the family Greengrocers on Tottenham Lane, so with my Mum eating her iced buns on the benches outside the Town hall and my Dad and his cousins weighing out potatoes in their school uniforms before jumping on a bus to watch Tottenham with 60,000 other punters, I get all West-Ham-tastic nostalgic whenever I'm in Crouch End. Viva N8. |  |

Times change — the Top House is now the Great Northern Tavern — nice restoration job, but something still not quite right about it. Budgens in CE used to be appalling — I remember Ian Hart (Scouse actor, not the Leeds’ player) banging on about how cack it was in an interview — but it’s been mega-poncey for a fair few years now. With that, Waitrose and M&S Food hall, all within a 3 minute walk, you really need never leave CE for all your upmarket nibbles. Sean Hughes used to be quite often found in the Kings — I’ve drank in that pub many, many times with the intention of watching the comedy, but somehow never made it downstairs before it was sold out. |
Ah, these pubs, rarely quite get it right. Seem to remember having a row with Phil Mitchell in there, he was very rude to my then girlfriend, he drank up and left. Fancies himself in public, or at least used to.
Budgens was attrocious, gave up on it in the end. Did it not evolve into a Cullens? |  | | |

This is the correct way to break off a bite sized triangle of toblerone.. 
I always tried to try and break it off the otherway. Twice as hard and very messy.
Something to do with physics i think. |  |

I always try to make a point of pronouncing the word duvet with a hard 't' and a shallow 'u'. Like 'dove'-et. This makes me seem more edgy and working class. |  | | |

No, it got bought out by Andrew Thornton who run the store plus the one in Belsize Park as a kind of independent gourmet supermarket . |  | | |

Over here we go the other way. When we buy stuff from the shop Target ( a bit like C&A)
we pronounce it with a French twist. Tar-jeh. Like Monet. It makes us sound posher. | |

The Toblerone logo has a bear in it because it's made in Bern.
This is the other correct way to eat it.

Brian, my wife looks through the dates after each delivery and if anything has a pis stake date, she gives them a call and they refund it. Except for booze, which obviously has to be drunk within 48 hours of delivery. We got two chickens that were £13 a pop, delivered on a Thursday with a best before date the following day, so slammed them in the freezer, had a moan and got £26 back. Good times. Go for it.
We flip between Ocado, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose and with Ocado, they give you a 68 page print-out detailing when you need to consume everything by, to the nearest five minutes. It’s useful, but stresses me out just looking at it. I then get stressed about getting the bags back to the delivery fella, remembering the tip etc, but it’s a lot less hassle/depressing than grocery shopping out there in the real world (especially when you don’t own a car). |
Konk,
I know you're trying to help my man. Honestly I do.
But I spent the entire evening working through the 68 page print-out only to find out that Ocado won't deliver to my street in Cork. Or the street next to me.
I told the old woman on their complaints line that if they're going to be that narrow-minded they may as well fugg off out of Europe and be done with it.
"We fugged off out of Ireland" she said, somewhat haughtily.
"Not properly, you didn't" I retorted, quite cleverly.
She's still not going to deliver the shopping, though. |  |

Have you thought about moving, Bri? We're off to Bristol next year, so I can give you a good price for our place* - every fu cker delivers here. And in our experience, if they give you a load of shi t with three hours until it goes on the turn, they'll all refund the cost of the goods. You then get to eat the stuff in a mad rush with a slightly mental meal comprising salmon, chicken, goats cheese, double cream and a dozen eggs and or give it away to friends and family. We only have a small, two drawer freezer, so it's a case of taking chickens etc round to friends for frozen storage, so a bit of a pain in the ars e. The fridge part of the fridge-freezer, however, is massive and fantastic and cools beer/wine down in no time at all. I fu cking love our fridge.
*It's in London, so overpriced by about 700%, but I'll knock £500 off for old times sake. | |

It can be. We inherited it from the previous owner - it's Miele and everything. Honestly, you put twenty beers in the drawers which are intended for meat, fish and veg, and within no time at all, they're lovely and cold. Genius. The freezer, however, is a bit sh it and one of the draw fronts is knackered, so you have to go easy with it. Requires regular defrosting as well. Have a think about it and let me know before we exchange. | |

Well, I know my wife gets the hump with the freezer, so we'll be looking for a new f/f when we move and Bri can take on the Miele.
As for the duvets, I'd have to check with my wife, but if Bri's relaxed about a couple of stains on my side that my wife insists are urine-related, but which I'm maintaining are probably beer/wine spillages, then I can certainly open negotiations and see how we get on. I'd very much welcome a move to Mittel-Europa style single duvets (assuming I can source some nice bed line from the German/Austrian/Swiss equivalent of John Lewis or Heal's), but my wife militantly opposes the idea. | |

This seems standard practice for a fridge, to be honest, making stuff cold. I mean, that's what they do. Are you're sure you're not overselling it a tad? Perhaps you had an old gas-powered fridge previously. Everything's relative after all. | |
