Just to keep it in tradition: the last April thread is here.

Here's the weather info for May:



And typing in 'Brixton April' into Google brings up this pic (which is mine).
*Edit: OK. I was a bit confused!

I seriously hope the bearded copper on the right of that photo is reacting to a broken arm.

'Brixton April' or 'Brixton May'?

Did you develop that photo in the 70s or is it a weird filter? If it were square I'd have thought it was an Instagram upload

Oops, sorry, I was still in an April mindset, Let me fix that weather forecast screen grab ASAP.

There's no filters in that photo though: it's an actual authentic film scan from a 1998 photo: http://www.brixtonbuzz.com/2013/10/...chive-photos-and-video-footage-6th-june-1998/

Loved this exhibition on Grays Inn Road.
A Haircut and Art – Developers Up Yours by Gram Hilleard at the Offsite Gallery

I could be wrong but I think at least one of those paintings is based on my pics (which is fine by me).

Nah, he's obviously doing an early version of the quenelle!

Memories of Brixton facebook group are reporting that Sam has passed away. RIP dude.

I noticed that I hadn't seen him around for quite a while. I hope he passed peacefully.

He used to stop and make my little boy laugh with comedy faces.

I dunno why (maybe it's been a long week) but I read that as they were lap dancing outside the Villaaaage

Hey, maybe there's an idea for a pop up...

He was a curious chap and a real Brixton character. He seemed happy though. RIP.

Various street drinkers were given an ASB 35 dispersal order today, banning them from Brixton town centre for 48 hours. I've never seen this happening before. There's no right of appeal. If you breach it you get arrested. http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/d_to_g/dispersal_power/

I didn't know him by name but I've seen him around for many years. Thank you for putting a name to the face for me. Sorry to hear of his death.

I heard the police had these powers but as the drinkers have never entirely disappeared I had hoped they weren't being too heavy handed with it. I wonder why they've used the order now, has something happened?
