Yesterday morning, gazing vacantly out of my kitchen window, I notice a woman's purse on a nearby garage roof. Has someone been mugged, or worse?

So I ring the police up and tell them.

They ring back five minutes later: "Can you get up there and retrieve it?" "No, it's too far away and I don't have a ladder." "Oh."

Another five minutes. Another phone call.

"Hello, it's the police here. We won't be coming to retrieve the purse for health and safety reasons."

At the risk of going all Daily Mail. What?!
 
I've got a ladder. Could you check how much is in the purse so I know whether it's worth coming round?
 
Police have just closed Brixton Road at Villa Road, can't see exactly what the problem is but there are a few cop vans floating around.

North-bound traffic being diverted into Villa Road.

Couple of their vans around on the Angell Town Estate, but haven't seen any of the police themselves. Something heavy is going on, but I've no idea what.
 
The new bakery in Brixton Village had a 'soft launch' today and is expected to be up to full speed by next week. I had a chat with the owner - a Brixton resident for four years - and he seemed a nice fella.

Brixton Road still blocked, couple of v large mail vans unable to turn around so they are stuck there. No signs of helicopters, no sirens. hmmm
 
Ah shit, just saw this
