What happened down the bottom of the hill this evening? There's a load of plod around by KFC on the other side of the road, and there's a bit of pavement taped off in the middle of the road with a copper standing by it. Crossing still open though.
There's a P5 northbound stopped opposite with plod cars front and back but that's not necessarily connected.

An accident, crime or similar incident.
Anyone know what is happening further up the hill? There are a load of people laughing and talking about what good weather we are having.

I saw them. I wondered about calling the police and reporting anti-social behaviour but figured they'd be busier somewhere else.

Changing the facts
Saw a fella flag down a police car and shout out to them "I AM A WITNESS!!!!11!".
Jam sandwich screeched to a halt and fella started to tell them his story, then said "I'm not doing this in the street!!!1!1" so he jumped in the car and off they went.
He was wearing shorts and carrying a large furled umbrella. Perhaps he was disturbed by the outbreak of good weather?

Nice. Does anyone know if the plan to rebuild the playground in Brockwell Park has survived 'the cuts'?

I believe so - the plans are still up in the toilet block in the playground and when I spoke, very recently, with one of the FoBP committee she said it was still going ahead... we were commenting on how lucky it was for that to still be in the running.
Let's just hope it stays that way.

oh yes of course - it's part of the massive lottery win the park got... !

Hallelujah! At least something has escaped Osborne's clutches.

Untill they were advised to cease trading due to health and safety reasons.
No sterilising equipment. No licence.
This notice will probably be taken off as urban 75 seems to censor's what gets posted

Really? That's news to me. Could you give an example of this alleged censorship please?

Yeah. That will probably happen if it's libellous you tit. You seem to know a lot for someone who's only just joined
Your original post is still there, and it's been replied to. Get your head out of your arse and read:

Blimey, dozed off on the sofa watching a movie, woke up to sirens and flashing lights ... at least two dozen cops plus dogs, paramedics, ambulances, even an air ambulance vehicle all being very frantic outside the neighbour's house. Surrounding what I thought was a body at first but turned out to be a cuffed suspect pinned down on the pavement by several cops. Not one of the neighbours, they seemed to be witnesses. At least one person taken away in ambulance. Whatever went on seemingly happened inside the house. They've taped off the area, closing the road.
Last night there was a bit of a pitched battle between the neighbours+mates and a bunch apparently from the Stockwell Park Estate. Lots of shouting and bottle-throwing that lasted about half an hour. No idea if this incident is related.
Not exactly a common occurrence in this neck of the woods, at least not these days. Maybe I'm dreaming this and will wake up on the sofa in a few hours.

Anyone know what happened to the flower shop / antique shop on Brixton Hill (opp the white Horse)? Its currently called "Love On The Hill" and was stocked for valentines day but never opened... and hasn't been open since. Dead old flowers from inside have been removed but its still full of the junk / antiques, yet its never open.

Was open last Saturday when I walked past. Just seemed to be a posh antique/nick-nack shop from what I could see.

I saw it open the other day. I remember going in when they first opened and not being sure what was actually their personal furniture and what was for sale.
I hate shops like that

I'm not a massive Harry Enfield fan but I've seen a few shops like this recently and I think he's pretty much got it bang on:

Problem is, the shopowner, who owns the building and others thereabout, was charging twice the going rate for flowers. Not a sound business practice (outside Chelsea etc)

No.

This is how the guy at Herne Hill works. He asks you how much you will pay rather than give you a price.
I really liked love on the hill, they had some really nice flowers and gorgeous pots and a fabulous amount of tat. I want the suit of armour 
and they've got some well gorgeous breakfast bowls with spoons (and a pot of ivy inside) for about four quid... the people working in there are lovely too. I'm all for it

Someone remind me what time the restos in Brixton Village are open until on a Friday evening? Himself might take me out for a wedding anniversary meal, and there are one or two places that are probably worth trying - I fancy the Thai place myself....
