My point applies to people waving around expensive cameras and phones too.

You brought up fucking cameras. Make some sense of your point. If it was an attempt to have a dig at me, man up and admit and let me then correct you.
I don't wander around with an expensive camera in the Villaaage taking photos and when I did take photos of the place it was on a modest compact and I was always very discrete about it.

Have you never sat in a coffee shop with a smart phone or taken photos in public in Brixton? I want to know why using an iPad or even a laptop is any different?

Seeing as you're stubbornly going to keep on missing the point, I'll leave you to it, squire.

I'm just baffled by your mention of iPads like it was a bad thing to use in a coffee shop.
It was just one of editor's gentle digs at Apple and anyone who uses their equipment, surely you should be used to them by now.

Are you carelsssly flaunting your wealth and part of a loud, iPad toting horde?
If not, then clearly no one is calling you a twat for using an iPad*.
(*or any other similar expensive tablet device),

Just who are these 'loud iPad-toting hordes'? Hysterical tabloidspeak yet again.

I put this on the streatham chatter thread, but i think that may just be a short-lived joke a teuchter's expense...
do any streathamites know Christchurch Road? A friend is thinking of living there but doesn't know the area.

You tell me. I am uncomfortable with your prejudices here, if I'm honest.

Me, apparently. And Hendo.
I never fully understand these updates, but looks like the contract for Raleigh Hall is being rebooted? http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/moderngov/mgIssueHistoryHome.aspx?IId=28060

"Good drinkers" make the area look civilised, middle class, and more mediterranean; "bad drinkers" make the same place look downmarket, working class, and hint at disorder.
In which case, we need more "bad drinkers" to stop gentrification in its tracks.

On a bit of break...
The good drinkers sit on the Ritzy chairs and look like insouciant boulevardiers, the bad drinkers sit on the cold hard concrete turd and look like they'll end up with haemorrhoids .

I'm confuzzled. What does it have to do with what was being discussed?
Post 541 - the implied gist (IMHO) being that it's not what you do, but the vibe it gives off and the way it affects others.

Are iPad users an oppressed minority in Brixton?

I'm still not entirely sure what this all means.- Status
