My God, it looks like a Tardis! Or something out of a Batman film.

Can I ask what it was like, standing next to Boots taking photos of a toliet?
 
Aw. I can picture you now. :)

I was having trouble before, when I didn't know which segment you'd used.
 
You'll ruin it for the rest of us with your flagrant urinal blocking. It'll have a sensor and you won't be launched skywards, like a slowmo Thunderbird 2.
:(
 
Fine, I'll step to the side and wait for it to rise, then jump on it and do 'king of the world' impressions, then start off on some bonkers religious shit, just to fit in :D
 
I think this is my first post in this thread. Hello fellow Brixtonians. :) I've just been out for Maldon sea salt and assumed I would have to go somewhere posh for it, so I got it in the Continental Deli at the bottom of Atlantic Rd for £3.25. Then I saw it in the health food shop for 1.99, where they told me it was marked up by a third like their other stuff. Which means the deli marked it up by 116%. So I went back to the deli and got a refund. Hooray for the health food shop. I feel a bit spoddy and miserly now.

Large free range eggs are another great deal at the health food shop - £1.17 for half a dozen. Cheaper than Tesco.
 
I've been shopping at a different health food shop lately just because it's more convenient and bloody hell they are expensive!
I'm going back to Brixton Wholefoods now. Much better, better range of products and as you say, quite cheap really :cool:
 
Lots of revenue officers, drugs squad and general police types at Vauxhall Tube this lunchtime.

They really don't like it when you stop and pat the sniffer dog on the head, and chuckle it under the chin do they?

Lucky they do have a good range of stuff, cos you wouldn't go there for a warm welcome and a bit of friendly banter, would you?

The Portuguese shop is a much nicer place to go in this respect but yes, some things you just have to go to BWF for.

They're not all bad... I think it takes a few years before you get a smile out of one of them. Portuguese shop is just always busy, I refuse to go near it on the weekends. Also, you can't browse very much in there as the shelves are all out of reach. I like the shop though, the people are friendly too.

Yes, I agree with you about BWF in some cases - the French lady's bark is much worse than her bite. But they're always bickering among themselves and generally walk around with faces like slapped erses.

And yes, you have to know what you want before going into the Pork & Cheese (as I hilariously call it) shop.
 
they have a better selection of different types of noodle (soba, brown rice, black rice etc) than anywhere else. also bags of different types of flour for making bread. i don't know anywhere else locally that does refills on ecover products.
