Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
They don't touch it all week - it's like a part time project.

Oi! None of your "political correctness gone mad jokes" around here 
That was the official Christmas all over Lambeth lights switch on bus on its way back from Streatham - the last of six town centre stops.
The Brixton festivities were earlier in the evening outside the Library. Santa arrived with the Mayor on time at 5.30.
A big heads up to the teachers and kids of Hillmead Primary for turning out with drummers, choir and guitar ensemble at ridiculously short notice when the council suddenly realised about three weeks ago it needed to do something about the Christmas Lights switch on.
Edited to add: And another big heads up to Vauxhall City Farm for Santa's farmyard truck (though I don't know how that enormous fibreglass cow would have coped with getting down chimneys!)

I got there near the end as the kids' cute chanting switched from "thank you mayor" "thank you elves" and "thank you Santa" to "please save our building"
Yes, the MC went "off message".
It says a lot for the lack of political nous of people involved with some of those projects that only now - nine months after the chaos of the LDA's management of Cowley Studios were brought to light by the Lee Jasper affair in the Standard - that they are starting to lobby anyone

spent an hour in the freezing cold waiting for 'santa' with my four year old. He was a bit of a sad sight, and totally uncommunicative. I would be scared of the thought of him coming into my bedroom Xmas morning. I feel a bit let down for my daughter who wanted to know why Father Xmas did not sing or shake her hand. When we got home she said - what was father Xmas doing (I think she meant what was the point of that). I think I will tell he that Father Xmas was busy and sent a rather inexperienced helper!!
Loved the bus but what was the cow thing all a about!!?

What's the full story that connects the kids to the LDA Building? Is it the dance organisation?

On way to hospital I think
Although I could just be thinking of the Vietnamese place whose name I can't remember (Cinnamon Tree, Lemon Tree?)

I used to like Plan B, about 4 or 5 years ago.
Then it went all shiny Clapham people and crap RnB masquerading as "hip-hop".
Or maybe I got old or something.

Well don't worry, I was wrong anyway
Well that Vietnamese place is near to the hospital
Here's the Barn Thai Jazz Restaurant. That's not in Brixton either

I'm sure it's the Cinnamon, Lemon or Lime tree, but it could be something totally different like Mango or Papaya

Aye, but I don't get a choice of whether or not to go if it's a mates birthday. Snobbery goes out the window for them.
