Oh, I'm not saying that the Waitrose is actually any good. I've never  
been in it - we get all our groceries off the internet. I was just  
mentioning it as an indicator of how posh the area now is. Actually,  
until earlier this year that Waitrose was a Somerfield.

I lived in Tooting for about ten years before I moved to Balham - so  
I'm with you 100% on the quality of Indian food there.
