Well, I didn't expect this reply.
I'd like to second the comment on the one-penny millionaires and that 'desire' to be 'seen' (I know of a chap who is a regular customer and only drinks water, on the pretence of being 'above' drinking, the reality is he can't afford to be there in the first instance, never mind paying to drink water... anyway .. my point being it used to be a decent venue with plenty of genuinely nice people, seems to have changed now.
Food = average, service pretty good and quite overpriced.
I didn't know about the new venture with planet-x that would be quite interesting and I wonder who the roady is? Jan?
I don't fancy wearing a restaurant branded jersey, then again, I don't really wear anything with major branding...

i'm from that london and never been to the grim north but this nonnas looks like a nice place? it's almost worth putting my best rapha jersey on and riding my expensive handmade Italian road bike up there for a nice macchiato.
or is it full of orange people with personalised number plates?Posted 2 years ago # -
I went to Nonna's around Christmas time, it was really nice
good food, nice atmosphere, not pretentious at all
the desserts were possibly some of the nicest I've ever had (we shared 4)Posted 2 years ago # -
I quite like the look of it. The jersey that is.

seen this phrase a few times now, what's a 'cougar'
A great phrase. Definition from the urban dictionary:
"An older woman who frequents clubs in order to score with a much younger man."

if it's a cougar bar, i'm going! Down eccy road there are better places to drink (e.g. lescar) and as for food, who needs more than a BBQ in the park?

FWIW I think its (a) a pretty cool jersey and (b) good news that a local business is launching a cycling team.

I was about to ask why so much fuss over a local restaurant teaming up with a local bike company (PX are in Sheff arent they) to produce a team jersey for their racing team
The jersey even looks kind of OKish and you have to admire them if they'll give you a discounted machiatto at the end of your ride too!
Then I read this on the website and feel nauseated:
Cycling is the new golf. So what better way to promote your brand than by affiliate branding?
If cycling is the new golf Im off to the classifieds

"Cycling is the new golf."Don't worry about it. They are obviously talking about peleton roadie stuff, not us rugged mtb heroes. I mean dressing up in skintight lycra and then taking turns at riding with your nose up the bum of the guy in front.
Think about it, sniff a bum, move up a place, sniff the next one, move up, etc until you are at the front, allow the following rider a good sniff, then peel off to the back and start again - that's got to be sus, eh?

Sounds a bit like being in a pack of Huskies.

had a 30min chat at the end with the guy about coffee.
If cycling's the new golf I guess coffee must be the new weather.
