It's Tuesday today though and is unlikely to be open. I suggest Cafe Sitifis instead. :)
Oh yeah, so it was. I was going to football in the evening and I always associate midweek football with Wednesdays. Wishful thinking
 
dunno. when I passed about 9.25, having been stuck on a very slow bus at the centre there were several fire vehicles and ambulances for no obvious reason.
 
Does anyone else have a Safer Lambeth CCTV vehicle in their street? We've had one for two weeks now - I assume to address the commuter iphone muggings that have been going on.

White van, sad, lonely looking bloke in the front with the engine running for 4 hours. Two blokes in the back watching TV cameras. I've started waving and saying hello to them every day, but they still won't tell me why they're there.
 
Something odd happening in Stockwell Road/Waltham Estate today. There's a group of 20 or so people being walked round the estate surrounded by a seriously overkill load of police stopping people from walking past/driving round in vans. Don't suppose anyone know's what's going on? I would normally get my info from the font of all knowledge (shopkeeper next door) but I'm too sick to leave the flat today (well, I have a cold)...

Wild speculation but could it be something to do with the trial around the shooting on Stockwell Road? Might be the jury being shown locations etc

Yes, that would make huge amounts of sense, can't believe I didn't think of that, it was right opposite Stockwell News. The police presence was unbelievable - but justified under the circumstances. Oh dear, how sad.
 
The adventure playground on Railton Rd is finally being redeveloped - got a note about it through the letterbox the other day. Will take about four months I think.
excellent. I've been worried about the Dexter for years, I thought it might have been a candidate for a sell-off for flats. This is great news. The playground equipment has been gone for quite a while now. I spent many a happy hour in that playground (mostly as an adult having a smoke on the way back from the pub!)
 
Anyone else with pavilion and just had a text about updating their records about if you are a current ex or non smoker? :hmm:
 
I learnt pregnancy is a beggar deterrent. Bloke was about to try and get some money out of me, saw I was pregnant, wished me good luck and happy new year. :D
 
Not sure if this should go in the Brixton thread, but the geeky dude with the afro in the IT crowd was standing behind me in the big Dog Kennel Hill Sainsburys. We were all queuing and he had his head down the whole time. It must be a pain to be 'famous'.

I think you might be looking for the East Dulwich Forum's 'Famous People in Sainsburys' thread
