The Null Device
Today I visited a favourite cafe of mine, the Salamander Cafe. Or rather
what had been the Salamander Cafe. It now calls itself the Curry Cafe, and
specialises in Indian food. They still serve great (and reasonably priced)
chai tea, though now in generic white cups, rather than the eclectic collection
of old-fashioned teacups they once had. Gone, also, are the shelves full of
bric-a-brac and the noticeboard where Northcote's cat-owning painter/cellists
would advertise for housemates, giving their star sign. The place's new
appearance is tidier and a bit less funky (though the music was quite groovy
no less; let's hope they've kept their Not Drowning, Waving CDs and Bacharach
compilations on hand).
