Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I noticed that Paolo'z Brixton Hilluminations now reach to the roof. I thought last year's was bright enough but these are something else.

They're great aren't they. Like how they've done the santa and sleigh on the side

 

[miss minnie]

Its snowing! A light dusting covers the park.

 

[ajdown]

Not enough snow though. Buses are still running. Fancied a day off.

 

[Badgers]

Light snow coming down but no chance of avoiding work today is there. It will be irritating to get to work and then the heavy snow starts.

 

[Orang Utan]

no work today!

Dogs at Warren St today. the cunts were right at the top of the second long elevator so you couldn't turn back once you'd clocked em.

 

[teuchter]

I didn't know Warren St was in Brixton

Christmas tree being installed attended to this morning:

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

That tree has been up for days. Are they decorating it now then?

 

[teuchter]

That tree has been up for days.

Oh. I have amended my post accordingly.

WTF Lambeth Council? Just come up Brixton Hill on a bus - and the road doesn't appear to have been gritted. Snow settling on the bus lane.

Why WTF? It's the same shit every year

No pavements gritted and the bits that are, the grit has just been lobbed against walls rather than on the pavement

Anyway, at least the Elf/Tyre/Car Wash place has now gone as the water from their car washing running onto the pavement made that particular stretch treacherous

True enough, you never know, you might find a Guyanese roti stall in India

Mayor Boris is responsible for gritting of red routes, isn't he?

 

[Biddlybee]

Where is the van OU?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Yeah, but he doesn't cycle in Brixton so it doesn't matter

 

[Orang Utan]

Where is the van OU?

in the market near the rec, just a bit further on from where the sunday farmer's market is

 

[Biddlybee]

I'll have a look... still not had a roti since tarannau told me where another van was (or was it that one?)

 

[Orang Utan]

the same one i reckon! the best thing to eat in brixton at the mo i reckon. certainly in this weather.

I'm really impressed with the gritting and clearing that has gone on in side streets. Grit lorries, and guys in hi-viz jackets with shovels clearing and gritting pavements for the last 2 mornings. On the hill towards Streatham, off the S Circular. Pavements round schools have been cleared. Lambeth have done their stuff round us.

How is the snow in Brixton?

Anything like this? http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/4292?area=SW2

Not snowing atm. Oh, hang on, a teeny bit. I've got maybe an inch in my garden. It's not cold enough for it to stay yet, plus the ground and all the houses are obviously major heat emitters.

This reminds me. Anywhere in Brixton that has a nice selection of men's winter coats? Men's, not boy's or man-boy's.

Really cold in SW18 but the snow is only very light and not settling.

Don't know, never shopped for coats in Brixton.

 

[TruXta]

Cheers anyway B. I guess I just have to go out and have a look then .

-6 on Friday night. That's pretty chilly for London.

 

[TruXta]

Yeah, fuck, good thing I'm going to Norway then. -12 forecast for Friday, down from about -15 today. Ah well, at least there won't be that much snow.
