Yes. I got it last night, and it went via Stockwell.

really? Where does it go after that? On to Elephant obbiously, but does it go via loads of little back streets or main roads?

it goes up stockwell road, up clapham road then rejoins the usual route at the oval.
Handy for late night trips to Vauxhall!
Unfortunatly I'm moving back to Brighton in a couple of weeks.
Really annoying if your commute involves getting the bus from Brixton to Elephant since it makes one of the two bus routes that I can take 10 minutes longer.
I'm sure this is good for the residents of Clapham road, just annoying for me.

Actually, it's very handy for people who live up the Hill as it means they don't have to go down to Brixton to get the No. 2

415?
hm, I think I may have seen that somewhere the other day but I can't remember where
Ah, 415 between Tulse Hill and Elephant & Castle via Brixton, from Saturday 8 March 2008
Well that's definitely needed. Have always felt sorry for people on Tulse Hill and their lack of buses
Brixton boxer Ted Bami is in the running to be British light welterweight champion:

You are such an ambassador for SW2. Keep up the good work. How's that campaign to get M&S to move up the hill?

That's alright, I'll still use Dominic. When's the last time you saw M&S selling Heinz Beans, Tetley Tea bags, Newspapers, Rizlas, etc.

You get all of that cheaper in Costcutter.

Is it me or are the potholes on Brixton Road getting deeper? Was there attemptive road works this weekend? The one outside Barnardo's could house an ogre.

shame i don't have a photo of a damaged wheel, or I could claim compensation...Inform the council you nearly fell down it
there's a team of workmen fixing stuff now, but the manhole cover in the middle of the junction has a 6 inch hole all the way around it
Both!
A couple of the not too bad ones (e.g. by the bridge) have been filled in a bit.
But TFL & Lambeth are rubbish at looking at it from the point of view of the cyclist so often their repairs don't actually fix things. In this case both Stockwell road & Brixton road are TFL if you want to complain.
I got a puncture from one in Brixton road a few weeks back - really annoyingly just at the start of my commute...

extra walking
FFS, it's 20 metres at most. All the people I know either go to Costcutter or the shifty one nearer Blenheim Gardens; NISA is the most expensive shop on the strip especially for snack food. The Cafes (esp Adam bakery) knock out bigger, fresher sandwiches at a quid less!!!
Also, if Costcutter have a promo item they
a. tend to have it in stock, and,
b. sell it you at the price advertised in the promo without giving ytou some bullshit about "oh sorry the barcode was wrong".

20 meters is a long walk for short people
I won't use that one near Blenheim Gardens since they accused me of owing them £5. I even found the receipt in my bag but I just thought fuck 'em. Plus I don't particularly like one of them that's in there
Any I used Costcutters for over 10 years so I know how nice they are. If I was still going to the White Horse, I'd probably use them again

Ouch.
It really gets on my tits that when 'fixmystreet' sends an email to Lambeth to tell them there's a problem they simply tell me that I've emailed the wrong organisation rather than passing the information on....
