There was a power cut in central Brixton this evening - Iceland and lots of the shops on Atlantic Road had to close. It was also mental busy everywhere. Panic buying!

Tell me about it. We've got no lights, no heating and no hot water. And looks like this may be for the night

Aww thanks love. We should be ok - we're popping next door for a takeaway as they've got a fire and then we're going to wrap up with sleeping bags and duvets. I just might smell a bit tomorrow ((my colleagues))

I'll get you before you get indoors next time

 

[ajdown]

Didn't see any marauding mobs this time; probably all indoors too busy playing a "snowball thrower" app on their iPhones or Wii "Winter Fun" with their friends or something these days.

Seem to have problems with water this morning. Woke up to no water whatsoever about an hour ago, just now there is a bit but pressure is very low. Not again!

Meanwhile a frozen water valve affected water supplies to properties in south-east and south-west London.

Thames Water said supplies were restricted to homes in SW9, SW11, SE1, SE5, SE11, and SE17 on Friday morning.

I want to know why I've had no post all week (including 22 quids worth of footie ticket) and yet I've been delivered 5 pizza leaflets, 2 curry house leaflets, and one for a charity clothing collection.

Because they were walked to your door. Where was your post coming from? The postal van with your delivery is probably still stuck in a snow drift somewhere

Now that most of the snow seems to have passed us and isn't likely to fall again, and Lambeth don't have to worry about keeping the main roads open, what are the chances of them actually sending the gritters down some of our icy and treacherous sidestreets to try and assist the thawing process? If the last time it snowed is anything to go by, my road will be undriveable for several weeks.

Be thankful that you live in one of the best places in the world for non-car users. Walk in the slush Ajdown. It'll do you good physically, mentally and it's better for the environment.

Who were doing the clothes collection? I've got loads of other to dispose of and don't want to throw it in the bin

What? No one have a shovel on your road? Grit is available in plastic yellow bins sometime, help yourself.

Really, it's a long time since I saw one that had grit in it, or even saw one. I remember they used to be everywhere.

 

[Janh]

Lambeth's website (if you can access it) lists grit bins by ward, some have grit.
