Brixton news, rumours and general chat - December 2012

Returning briefly to November's thread and the "gated properties" on New Park Road, I'm not necessarily "turning", just frustrated with the cost of buying property being so high as we're desperate to get out of this poxy rented one bedroom flat and into our own place that's more suitable sized for the future we have planned, but can't seem to be able to find enough to put a deposit together, as places are so expensive - and places like these new gated communities only make the average prices higher.

Don't get me wrong, Brixton is not somewhere I envisage us spending the rest of our lives - but the problem is more or less everywhere.
 
Anyone spotted any Xmas Trees for sale yet? I'm thinking I may decorate the flat by stealth on Monday :hmm:
 
Tried the new Best Kebab the other day, couple of doors up from the barber on Tulse Hill. Not a bad kebab & they do proper chips rather than 'fries'.

Always has a soft spot for that place. Not eaten in there since the change from Chick King to Best Kebab though :( what type of kebab did you go for?
 
Mixed shish. I think it was £6.80 for that, and then must have been around 2 quid for the chips. I've got the menu on my desk at work so I can let you know on Monday.

Cheers. I like a mixed shish. Don't usually need chips with a £6.80 kebab though. You do like your chips though :D

Ironic, given what Tesco have done to keep people on low pay or not paid at all (see the threads about "workfare").

Tesco just let the food bank stand there and people donate extra food.....that they bought in tesco.

They'll be hitting up people shopping there for a food contribution, so buying your contributions elsewhere is an option afaik
 
The blue roti van on station road has been given its marching orders. She has been told her chairs and bins are an offence and she gets in the way of the Sunday market. She's been given 21 days to go. She has a petition on the side that everyone was signing... So please do if you go past. And any other ideas? She's been there for five years, she is properly lovely and sells great food!
 
Heading down soon. Will sign. Surely the Sunday market gets in her way?

How long has that been going?
