i spent a large part of the morning in olive morris trying to work out if there was any rhyme or reason to the distribution, assignation and execution of the ticketing system.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
It's a metaphysical puzzle requiring the correct levels of crack, logic and luck to conquer.

How did Olive Morris feel about this I wonder.

did you manage to work out what exactly it signifies when your number turns orange on the display? i'm mystified.

I sympathise, I did that once but I had to get parking permits and hand in a Housing Benefit form. It was a total joke trying to figure out the ticketing system. Luckily, I explained the situation to the woman who was sorting out parking permits and she dealt with the Housing Benefit form at the same time.

Julie (Lawrence's wife, of New Park Fruiterers) is leaving the country - and the grocer's been taken over by new people *sob* - god, the end of an era.
Still - at least it hasn't closed, and the new folk seem nice
The Dynamic Discount shop by the alleyway by the Telegraph is closing down - they've gone bankrupt. Shame - I like that shop, and the chaps are really friendly.

I went in last week and they said that they were 'downsizing' and getting rid of the food section as stuff kept going out of date - but they didn't say anything about going completely.
I agree, very useful shop and nice guys. A particular pity as that set of units seemed to have been empty for quite some time before they took over. I wonder why they never finished their website?

A familiar face to some Brixtonians is in the news again today:
Tory councillor Gareth Compton arrested over Twitter 'stoning' tweet about Yasmin Alibai-Brown
(He's now a Tory Councillor in Birmingham having moved from Lambeth some time ago.)
Thread over on P+P

Fuck me, how many more coffee shops do we need??
Maybe with the recession people will go back to drinking instant coffee and they'll all close down

Any idea why the front of the Academy is all taped off with barriers up? I noticed it last night as I went past on the bus and it was still there this morning.
In other news, I also noticed this morning that Paolo'z Way is setting up for its christmas lights display again, already, and it looks to be equally as OTT as last year.

I had a frankly dull double chocolate muffin from there last weekend. I wuz disappoint. Pleasant staff and good coffee though.

I love the way Paulo'z goes way over the top, and you can't deny they do put in a lot of effort for which they deserve praise. Must pop in there soon to see if one of their fish is still alive. One of them looked like he was having an epileptic fit last time we were in there and the staff seemed most concerned.

There was one there last week. maybe it's because Brixton Village has got a big spread in this week's Time Out and they're filming for What Hipster Weekly?

There is a cherry picker outside, looks like some work being done on the roof or facade.

That explains why there was nothing obvious last night or this morning early when I went past.

Found myself chatting all too briefly with a lady in the waiting room at the doctor's surgery and very pleasant it was. She turned out to have been the landlady of the Swan for 30 years. Told her to get herself on the internet, into here and tell us some stories!
