I have bought - just not a "luxury flat" - I really do think that a lot of them are very bad quality and a complete rip off!

I'm happy with that, especially when I see "people with more money that sense" go to a cashpoint three times in one night to take £10 out and get charged £1.50 each time resulting in them being charged £4.50 to take out £30 and stand there saying "it's only £1.50".

Oh, maybe they could hire some "real hoodies". Maybe the youth of Brixton will decide they want to become actors

Is that what was going on this morning? I cycled past it this morning and thought the worst after seeing an ambulance and police types.
However, I did get some bicycle police man to look after my bike as I went into the shops in Herne Hill yesterday, the least he could do really after I managed to tell him off for his poor cycling etiquette last week.

It seems that the one way section of Brixton Water Lane might be getting a bicycle contraflow!! HURRAH! (according to the latest LCC magazine)
(according to the latest LCC magazine)there's an application for more phoneboxes outside kfc, more places for people to piss in, nice: http://tinyurl.com/2bf5v6. Any objections need to go to this man IBlundell@lambeth.gov.uk by friday.

"Application to remove a) the carousel kiosk containing six BT public payphones on the pavement outside 421 Brixton Road and b) remove two BT public payphone kiosks located on the pavement outside 427-429 Brixton Road and replace them by installing four BT public payphone kiosks on the pavement outside 423 Brixton Road, 0.5m from the kerb."
Doesn't sound too bad tbh. we get less phone boxes in total for public urination, shooting up, and vandalism. is the new location any worse than the current ones, cos i'm not minded to object to this unless i'm missing something vital?

Just had a look at the map attached to the application and I think the phone boxes in question are the ones outside Carphone Warehouse - there's a railway pillar marked. In which case - WooHoo. 
Though I'm not clear if they are intending to remove the old 'New World' boxes too?

I will stress that I haven't spoken to the landlady yet, and there's no guarantee she'll know the future owners' plans. Maybe it'll be the half Chinese/half pub combo suggested earlier, maybe it's all been exaggerated, but it does seem like the lease is going to be sold and changes are coming.

i often wonder if we could just pay some crackhead 50 quid to drive a van into them. it would do the job.
Poor pubs. Where am I going to watch the footie now? Half Moon, Ganleys, Regent, Commercial, and now the Hob... all purged or likely to be purged of troublesome things like football screens and less than compliant, quietly respectable punters buying food at gatropub prices.
We will fight them on the beaches, the beer gardens, the gazebos and the lounge bars. I'm going to find out more about this - the resistance starts here.

You could go to the Duke Of Edinburgh? Or is that too much of a schlep?
The DofE's just a bit one-paced and rubbish though isn't it? It's a long walk for me - particularly when it leaves you with that meh feeling.
I'll miss the feeling of a proper local most. Whatever the Hob's flaws, it's one of the most diverse melting pots in all of Brixton.
