Indeed, this is the worst of it. The £75 is (almost) justifiable - if they were transparent about what it's made up of, which they're not being. But 9.30 is way too early. There were discussions about midnight, and this latest ultimatum is the result of the "collapse" of those discussions. (They didn't collapse, it's just that inShops only wanted to talk to one, self-appointed representative).
The basic problem is the same as it ever was, though. InShops execs are stuck up in Liverpool and no one has a clear vision of how it should develop, the local market office are ambivalent to antipathetic towards evening opening. It shouldn't be a concession to traders, it should be a central part of the business model for the arcade.


I made a thread about this over there, so that discussion would not be lost in the chitter-chatter.

You've given some useful information and detail to the situation, maybe you could add it to that thread :)
 
Oh! I thought you thought I had it at 23 degrees.

I was just trying to keep you informed of my open window activities.

Don't be ridiculous. No sane Scotsperson would dare have 23 degrees. They'd have the rest of Scotland laughing and pointing fingers at them :D
 
couple of little gobshites irritating me standing over the road throwing snowballs at traffic and pedestrians. :rolleyes:

Saw them myself a while ago when I was looking out of the window.

They should be tucked up in bed like all good little gobshites :mad:

Hey dude. That was immense. Post more often. But take a little more care with the brackets next time.
 
My next sixties number is "Judy in disguises with glasses" the bass line figures in nine top ten dance hits from the nineties.See Oliver Modan vs Delite for instance.
 
Was kept awake half of the night by partygoers screaming and shouting in the snow. I had to get up at 6 to go to work. :mad:
 
I was very :mad: and a bit :confused: when I got to Brixton station on Saturday morning and found it closed for the weekend, as I got a email last week telling me the work had been completed. :facepalm:
 
The work on the VL is all done apart from ripping out the old signalling system. You'd think smashing something up would be fun and easy, but the line will be closing for two weekends in March (start and end) and one weekend in May to finish the job. There's no further closures as far as their works schedule goes (late July).
 
Brockwell Park One O'clock Club interested people: have you seen the invitation to tender advertised anywhere - part of the changes in council ownership?
 
Bastards. I'd be very surprised if it didn't turn into an expensive cafe.

next to the super-new playground? yes, possibly.

1 o'clock club has been pretty quite recently, and may be less 'viable'. however it could just be the weather
 
Sorry I didn't mean to alarm people - there's an invitation to tender for a 'supplier'* to take over the current service. * By supplier, that could be another local school, charity, social enterprise or private supplier. The current provision (I've forgotten what it is as I've not been down there this year - 3 days per week) would be retained.

I think it's the weather. The other one I went to recently, she said she was struggling to get 5 families in per session whereas in summer she has queues and has to turn people away.

We occasionally go to Goose Green after a swim in E. Dulwich as it has a fantastic playground. It is next to a posh cafe but also some enterprising coffee cycle outlet has set up there. Every. single. bin. overflowing with brown coffee cups. :D
 
Lovely weather vibe in the park about an hour ago; it felt like one of those early summer morning, guaranteed a beautiful day, sun-burning-haze things.. gorg.
