A huge tree has collapsed and crushed a car full of people in Tulse Hill
Any idea exactly where on Tulse Hill this was? Northbound buses being diverted up Palace Road at the moment. Glad to hear the people in the car are OK.

Does anyone know what the queues are like in the Lambeth "Customer Centres"? I need to get a visitors parking permit today. Anyone know whether it's better to go now, or lunchtime, or later in the day? Is the Streatham one less busy than the Olive Morris House one? Cheers

Phone them up and book an appointment which allows you to use a seperate queue. Usually you will get seen straight away.

E2A: magic - got appt straightaway. Never known Lambeth efficiency like it. Fair play.

Avoid Olive Morris House at all costs. Streatham will be less busy and even the 'parking shop' at Kennington (opposite from the Imperial War Museum) is better.
This morning's que for TX Maxx was already snaking round the block ... at 08:40 .... madness!

When I went there to get visitor parking permits (without an appointment), it was one of those times I sorely regretted not taking along a good book, some decent ear plugs and a packed lunch.

Orang Utan could kill two birds with one stone.
Has the whole Roti discussion of last year died down?
I had a great roti lunch the other day at a new carnival centre cafe in the railway arches accross Coldharbour Lane from Loughborough Junction Station. Excellent curries and a roti for a fiver. Good coffee in a mini cafitiere. All very quirky and friendly.

Fwiw, Chuka will be doing a walkabout in Streatham High Road around mid-morning with that well known public servant Stephen Hester, among other tings.

You know the lovely lady with the fruit stall at the jn of Electric Lane and Electric Av? It's just in front of the tiny phone shop which is under the fox and cherries. She's been running the stall with her son for ever and ever - loves being out in the market, whatever the weather. She's been away for a while to have medical treatment and is back today. She's one of those patients who likes to talk rather than keep it a secret, so if you stop for a chat she'll be very chuffed. She's part time for the moment, waiting for test results and stuff. Do give her some moral support.
Thanks for the tip, I may be going that way later on anyway.

I don't think they're the ones Ed's talking about. I went past the lime green balconies today and didn't notice anything different

Another bar is opening on Market Row. Called Bukowski, opposite Casa Morita.

It's on the old Cooltan site. They've even got a row of flapping 'Barretts Homes' flags on there too, probably designed to catch the eye of any young professional passing by.
