Brixton chitter chatter and news and updates (Feb-Aug 2011)

The 'looting in their uniforms' sounds like baseless rumour or joke that someone has tagged on.

There's a pic doing the rounds of a girl outside Currys, post looting being nicked wearing a uniform. Whether it's been photoshopped I don't know but it looks pretty convincing.

ETA - beaten to it by gaijingirl :D

this is the picture - I'm sure someone will know if it's real or not.

(she's got a cracking pair of legs though!)
 
Maybe they thought that opening in Brixton was a risk and now that risk isn't worth it any more?

Edit: police helicopter now above Brixton, loads of sirens going off

Then they can fuck off quite frankly.

If M&S managed to stay throughout all the riots, can't see why a giant like Currys can't

Remember the sign that was on the railway bridge about supporting Brixton. M&S was up there, but can't remember who else. Was there for years

That picture's been everywhere since yesterday. I reckon she's famous by now. She's probably happy about that though!

gaijin - that's why I never posted it up as wasn't sure if it was a fake or not as I can't remember what uniform Currys staff wear. Also wondered why she was still in her uniform at that time of night unless she hadn't managed to get home to change

There was a picture of a Curry's employee been arrested outside the store across all the papers on Monday in her Curry's outfit/uniform. Could be they just gave her a cardi after being arrested.

E2A: This one...

All I can do is speak to the same person tomorrow lunchtime and see what they say (they have said their friend received a letter giving them 30-days notice)....

Agree about her legs :eek:
 
Half a dozen assorted sirens going down Tulse Hill towards Brixton just now.
 
Brixton crawling with plod this afternoon, more than the usual half dozen, I mean. Helicopter circling. Class War sellers also showing their faces.
 
Not sure if this is the place for it, but it doesn't warrant a whole thread. I'm freecycling a cream Smeg fridge/freezer which is fully functioning although a bit battered and bruised etc. I'm on Barnwell Road (no stairs to navigate) and it HAS to be collected tomorrow.

Do any Urbanites want it? I'm afraid I'm a right weakling - so I can't help with moving it, and a right slattern - so it won't be cleaned or defrosted.

PM me if interested but I really really must insist it goes tomorrow, ideally some time between 0900 and 1200.
 
It's actually the recycling forum, freecycle is a large US organisation. It's in the community forums which aren't open to people who have just arrived or we might get timewasters or weirdos. To be honest, if you stick it on the street with a big sign saying THIS WORKS, HELP YOURSELF! it'll be gone in less than an hour. :)
 
Are most shops open again? I was down earlier and it looked like most places were open, but that was a few hours ago.
 
Yeah, pretty much everything was open when I was out between 4:30 and 6:00-ish.

Apart from Footlocker, obv.

Oh, and WH Smith was closed too...

And as Greebo said up there, Class War were doing a roaring trade on the high street, a right little crowd waiting to sign their forms.
