On a bit of break...
Blimey. I've only left there recently and the places has gone to the dogs after just a couple of months.
More seriously, it's hardly the Bronx down there. Hope the usual folks are ok.

I take it you mean by the Church and not in the Church?

a friend bought a flat there and lived for just one night iirc, after being harrassed by racist thugs. she never went back and now rents it back to the council

I lived there 2 years and loved it - made lots of friends. Only one brush with trouble - albeit a fairly scary one. We would have bought our flat if we could have done.

yeah, i've never felt threatened there - nearly moved into a flat there once. my friend just had spectacularly the bad luck of suffering this intimidation on her first night there, which understandably put her off ever staying there again.
Heard a fair amount of shouting and one helicopter hovering about since this happened. Not heard of any more unpleasantness though?

the bands usually start quite early there - 9 or 10 and the live music is often over around midnight when a DJ takes charge.

Brand new (and large) kitchen appliances shop up in Streatham opposite the Horse and Groom for anyone that's interested.
Oh, and I also popped into that little cake shop by Streatham Hill station. I thought it just occupied that little corner where the glass of the shop is, but it goes right back to a deli, so much bigger than I realised

Perfect. I went when Max Romeo played but I can't remember the times as it was pre baby so I wasn't concerned.
I'm sure your night is ace, editor, but I just want to skank about to some reggae for a couple of hours before going to sleep.

Maybe people on a Streatham chitter chatter thread would be interested.

So anyway, this afternoon I entered an offie in Coldharbour Lane (after the Albert), to buy some baccy as I realised I'd left mine at home.
I was told they didn't have any.
What kind of weird off licence is that?

Coldharbour Lane is rammed - there's two sound systems on the go and the crowds are spilling out into the street.
