Was there a plan for what to do with it? I remember reading, via here I imagine, about the reasons that led to it and the negotiations involved, and thinking it sounded like a genuine community (as opposed to the police, council etc) discussion and compromise: refreshing. They haven't just blithely gone ahead and completely ditched it have they?

Being new in school, I need some pointers. Specifically alternative names. I'm guessing Brixtaaan is Ok as an affectionate alternative? Is 'Bricky' ever used?
I assume 'Brixters', whilst wearing a university scarf, is probably unacceptable.
(I've found my lunchtime haunt btw - Paulo'z way. Zzz very good. Haphazard but vry good)

Just say Brixton
You may refer to the surrounding parishes as you will, though. Preferably, with a derogatory tone.
None of these work. I want to frighten people. Make my friends think I'm living in South Central. Drive by shootings at the M&S.

Heh...
Most the people I work with are in the City or Surrey/Putney kinda areas. They are fascinated by the Brixton thing. I tend to lay it on thick (stab vests etc) just to keep them away
Never heard it be called anything but Brixton by the natives though. Works fine.

No No No. Brixton actually sounds harsh enough depending on how you accentuate it.
have you tried Spoon deli round the corner on New Park Road yet?

I just drop it in casually, like in the kitchen in the office: "Oh, you get the train from Ashford?. I come in on the tube from Brixton" You can see their eyes widen as they look for the exit.

or Uptown Brixton if you're talking to a sept
Ooh. NPR seems to be a land of wonder. I had it marked on the map as "probably dragons". Must explore some more.
PS Plz post whenever there's a free night at the Windmill (bastards! No windmill, nor any foam-based childrens TV icon!). Am cheapskate, but local.

I don't think so - it's a shame - it really did seem, for once as you say, like a genuine compromise that was working well as far as I could see. Unless you knew it was there, you probably wouldn't notice it - it was so discrete.
There is actually a windmill there.
Anyone would think he'd moved in with some kind of BARBARIAN that didn't tell him nuffink about the local area!

It looks even weirder when you see it next to the telegraph which is boarded up to the hilt.
By the way, I saw lights on at the Southside last night. was driving so didn't have a good look but no one was in though it was early-sh like around 10pm

Was open last weekend s well.
Probably no one in 'cos they're not aware it's open
They don't even have a website. At least Iroko had a website, even if it was diabolically crap

There's a banner stuck up next to the gutted shell of the Iroko Bar, which advertises possibly a new venture - and an equally impressive website.
