Take a brolly, it will come into its own doubling as a parasol. I'm going out in a minute, inspired by children running about joyfully in the rain :)
 
Less lovely under bottoms, which is where I was planning in putting it. You're not convincing me. It's still humid.
 
I read that Britain has the world's most changeable weather - why are its inhabitants not yet wise to this?

My old Gran used to say "There's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes".

She also said a bunch of things about Catholics that probably should never be repeated so not sure how much stock to put in her advice.
 
From twitter just ten minutes ago - anyone see anything? (read from bottom up):

@RachelHarger
"A big crowd of locals gathered, taunting police, we will not forget Sean Rigg, Ian Tomlinson, Mark Duggan, Smiley Culture.."

@RachelHarger
"..that the man had just fallen over. But we have seen the boot print in his face!"

@RachelHarger
"...but police reinforcements arrived before ambulance crew. When the ambulance arrived police tried to convince the medics.."

@RachelHarger
"...him with his forearm, officer LX273 stamped his boot in the victims face. The man lost consciousness for about 10 minutes..."

@RachelHarger
"I just witnessed 3 police officers beating down a man outside Brixton library. The man was already lying on the ground when one officer...

@RachelHarger

Just saw that on twitter. Can't see anything else about it.

They all look really young. Respect, so much for the self-interested stereotypes of youth today.

Young people today face potentially quite a grim future. The generations ahead of them could see a good chance of increased living standards, at least if they knew how to play the game. That isn't the case any more, even if you got all the right education and know how to play the game. I think they can be expected to be more politically active than has been seen for a while.

I dropped by earlier. No-one there had any footage of the incident - can't see it going anywhere if they don't track some down (supposedly people were filming), but anyway it's good that the police know they're being watched :cool:
 
Quite possible They ride past me at work (up South Lambeth Road) twice a week, with a trap.

I walked past someone on Atlantic Road yesterday who was chatting to shopkeepers about the snake they'd all just spotted slithering back under the fruit and veg.
 
There's going to be filming of a proper film in part of the market on Sept 1 and 2, allegedly. The stretch of Market Row which gives on to Coldharbour Lane will be closed. Shopkeepers will be asked to close in exchange for monies. Shopfronts will be altered with props etc. And there will be snow on Coldharbour Lane!

Any idea what the film is? Wondering if it's the same one that's doing location at my neighbour's place this week (think it's a Nick Hornby adaptation).

Well, that would explain your use of 'random'. Thanks for clarifying.

Someone on twitter the other day mentioned a man walking up CHL with a snake round his neck.

Fair enough :) I'll hassle the film crew and try and find out later this week. Apparently some famous actress and Piers Brosnan are in the one I know about (although Piers isn't coming round for filming at our neighbours :mad:).

That should be one of the demands. :mad:
