Brixton chitter-chatter and news - May 2012

I heard Madge doesn't work at the Phoenix anymore, by the way. I knew she was away for several weeks on holiday but apparently she's not coming back (to the Phoenix).

That's a shame. She was a LEGEND at the Phoenix with a photographic memory of your orders!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I still miss Grainne and Amber and they've not worked there for years! They were good on the phenomenal memory for orders too. I went in once asking if a mate of mine had been in, said his name, described him and they looked a bit blank until I said, "Strong mug of tea, no sugar and a teaspoon for the no-cal sweetener." and then they knew exactly who I meant and precisely when he'd been in

she's been replaced by this tall, polite/well spoken young lad. He seems to be getting the hang of it. But he's no Madge...yet!

 

[Onket]

His name is Simon. Seems a nice lad.

 

[peterkro]

Willy waving.

Possibly but when she retired the whole place went to shit and I stopped eating there.

 

[Onket]

Well it's certainly not shit now.

 

[peterkro]

Well it's certainly not shit now.

So I believe but I never went back.

I know an urbanite who when very drunk, despite being told in no uncertain terms to not be so stupid, insisted on leaving the Albert to buy some weed.... came back with an 8th of clingfilm wrapped bark.

Does anyone know about a refugee jubilee street party in Brixton tomorrow (Friday 1st)? Saw summat in the standard just now

There was a report on the Radio 4 Today programme (Saturday edition). On listen again it starts around 1 hour 17 minutes in.
