I think its replacing Chow, the Chinese place that lasted about 5 minutes a couple of years back
Yep, it's where the short-lived Chow was. They've just painted the shutters a rather alarming shade of bright yellow. The hair place is being refurbished in a kind of cheap-as-possible way, but I've no idea if it's going to stay as a hairdressers or change into something else (please, no more fast food shops).
 
Any idea whats going on with The Angel down there? Its been quiet since they painted it orange and brown
 
Has anybody watched the channel 4 Top Boy thing and am I right in thinking the estate used for where the main characters live is the new Loughborough?even though it's set and mainly filmed in Hackney.(plus is there a November thread I can't see?
 
anyone been to the 'new' cafe on leigham court road? i forget it's name but it's full of gingham and sewing machines - it's got that cath kidson vibe, which is rather nauseating to be honest. it's a teeny bit 'i saw you coming' - they were selling button necklaces for £11.50.
nice tea though and their cakes looked impressive.

I feel bad saying this but I've been twice and dont think I'd go back again. The place could potentially be amazing, nice decor, quite chilled place but the food and service is not good. They serve mochas in a glass (ok i could have something else) but its impossible to drink it without waiting 10 minutes. They mainly do sandwiches which are not very appealing. I ordered a bacon sandwich last time and it was SO greasy i couldnt eat half of it. The salad and dressing felt like they had just taken it out of a bag. Both times ive been served by different women and both times ive felt like im an inconvenience to them. Anyway, its a shame but its just my opinion.

Yeah I've been watching it but I'm not sure....some of it does look familiar but I've not spotted anywhere I definitely recognise yet. I've got an episode taped to watch later so I'll have another look.
 
Yep - it's mad to think that railton road/atlantic road was one a bustling street....it's virtually dead all the way to Herne Hill after you go past brixton wholefoods/Fujiyama. Loads of empty shop units.
 
I spotted that on Twitter earlier. Sensible idea for a bit of promotion as they're a bit far down to catch all the market footfall.
They could have at least made it look like it was designed in the last decade though.
 
Can someone tell me where I can buy a humane mouse trap in Brixton. I'd personally rather kill the little fucker but my kinder half insists on setting him free in Herne Hill.
 
Can't think of anywhere on either Tulse Hill or Brixton.. I'd go to the hardware store by HH station myself. I'd offer you my cats but they just bring them in and hoard them... 3 last week. :mad: I ended up accidentally killing one which I was trying to rescue... I am a shit vegetarian. :D
 
All good suggestions.

My boyfriend said he'd bus it Kensington when we catch it, he works there. We'll never get rid of our mice if they hear you get bused to a mansion in Kensington if you squat at our house!

They're not very humane, in fact I think they're cruel. Very often the mouse runs round inside in total panic and sometimes dies of fright and stress. If you catch more than one they often fight and injure each other. If they survive all that they then die on whatever common you've dumped them on. They're not field mice, they're house mice.
