Does hill steepness discrimination against Arodene Road matter? I can't believe you are even asking this question.

Ah, I understand now - gritting priorities! Yes, does seem like a strange decision.

Just a reminder to look out for any (possibly illegal) 'charity' collections by the UCKG ('United Church Kingdom of God') around the tube station or on Brixton high street. They may sing carols and appear to be collecting for Christmas 'good causes' but in fact they are collecting cash to invest in their property empire and forward their dubious religious views.

Why do you think it's illegal?
I saw one outside the tube station but thought I saw an oxfam logo on there too. Right enough their website says it is collecting for them, along with others. Doesn't say how much goes to them, that I saw in my 30 second investigation.

I'm not suggesting it's illegal, just dubious and not following the IoF or FSB standards for street collections. Which, whether you like chuggers or not, adversely affects other street collectors.
I've just bumped into three cheery UCKG people outside Sainsbury's merrily collecting away. The collection buckets have 6 other charity logos on, three of whom I know relatively well, and from my educated guess wouldn't necessarily appreciate being linked to UCKG.
The collectors couldn't tell me what proportion of money was going to each charity, nor the % going to UCKG. All of which they should be able to reel off verbatim. I can't find a press release announcing any sort of partnership arrangement, and their last years annual accounts only lists the collection of clothing for donation to oxfam, not cash donations, even though this is the second year of their street collecting.

Probably on the proest forum somewhere, but I've just been told there's going to be a protest tomorrow evening in Brixton so if you get the bus home, there may be delays

Tuesday 14th December at 1730 hrs in what is billed as a “peaceful protest” organised by the Socialist Worker, the National Union of Teachers and Lambeth Right to Work.

I know she has some real fans but I've never got along with Rosie's since the one time I bought some cheese when it first opened. Splashed out on what looked like quality cheese only to get it home and find that I was given some tiny pieces that were mostly rind. Felt very ripped off.

I go to that new bakery in the Village now, run by two young and super-chirpy Aussies. Cannot remember the name, but it's next to Federation and Etta's. Think I paid 2.70 for a decent sized loaf of seeded bread which tasted fantastic. I've tried three or four of their varieties, all nomsome. It's the place with the big white toasters on the outside tables. Big up!

It's not taken long for the branding to become the vernacular.

Considering there wasn't anything of note to me in that particular arcade anyway, i don't think I ever even referred to it as Granville Arcade. It was "that arcade, when you go through Reliance Arcade and cross the road etc...."
People who pass it regularly though would probably know it as Granville
