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

I'm guessing walls with fancy wallpaper where the rest is painted perhaps? Or painted a really stand out colour in comparison to other walls?

I shall have to go and take a look.

Anyone know what happened at the Tesco/garage on Tulse Hill last night? My boyfriend heard a panicked woman running past our house calling the police and then lots of sirens and the garage taped off. The staff and security are all really lovely there and I was worried one of them may have been hurt.

The Tesco guards have a hard time. They suffer all sorts of threats and violence. They say that when they try to stop shoplifters, the shoplifters wait for them to finish work and beat them up at the bus stop.

Hi........

Can't say I'm happy about you posting this across three forums. Clearly you aren't very good at reading posting rules. It would have been good manners to run this past the moderators first. I don't have a problem about what you're publicising, but you've gone about it badly.

What's one of them?

I watch too many DIY shows obviously!

The wall round by the ladies' is covered with wallpaper whereas the others are just painted. Basically what Gaijingirl said.

Argh!! Have they changed the Trinity Arms?! Does it still feel like a proper old pub?

I went to the Duck Egg Cafe this morning. First time I've been there and the food was good and the service friendly and fast. I then went for a dose of Fed coffee.

Next week I am back to work so none of this swanning about.

And I went to Nour and got some spices.

I saw two grown men sitting outside that Duck Egg place the other week. just sitting there in public on Coldharbour Lane within spitting distance of the Albert and House of Bottles and not even looking awkward.

I took an old friend who'd not been back to Brixton for a while to show her what's happened to Granville Arcade recently. She was quite shocked.

Went to the new Trinity for the first time on Sunday. Oh. My. Word.

The mushroom paint, the feature walls, the floral cushions.... What on earth has happened?

My girlfriend on the other hand thinks its much improved. Some people.

sounds awful
