hmm - some buses (the twelve from oxford circus to east dulwich, for example) are ticket-only, no cash fares - i think
fairly sure ive not been able to get on a 12 in peckham with the money in my hand but no oyster..
i know. but if you've no money, an oystercard with a £3 returnable deposit but no credit on it, then it's sometimes (not tooo often) worth returning yer oystercard, spending two quid on getting somewhere, and worrying about the other quid home later (or buying bananas to fuel your walk home).

It's got a sign in the window saying something like:
Coming soon - bakery
I got excited when the 'bakery' down by the White Horse was due to open. Then it turned out it was a shop that sold a few sandwiches and cakes and wasn't a bakery at all.
So, I'm not getting my hopes up about this one...

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
...and this was the point to my tale. The window I closed was blowing directly on to me and I was adequatley dressed for a cold satruday afternoon, but not for the constant draft.
generally I'm a window open person, and it's got to be pretty cold for me to feel it, so I didn't feel I was being especially wrong closing the window blowing a direct draft on me.
There were lots of other windows open, and that was fine.
It's all a bit of give and take, and my 'rage' was at the farmer's attitude.

Yippee!

That article says:
Does anyone know anything about this demonstration? I can't see anything about it on the Friends of Brixton Market website. http://www.friendsofbrixtonmarket.org/

If someone asks "mind if I close the window, I'm getting a draught here" then I'd normally say "sure go ahead" - but it's just their attitude of rudeness that gets me.

If it's the window by you I would ask if you minded, but not a window three seats away from you.

Yeah, but an English bakery or a Jamaican bakery?

I peeked in there and they had columns with mosaic tiles. Mosaic tiles made me think restaurant/takeaway
Don't know but it's been painted red, white and green. Is it too much to hope that it's going to be an Italian bakery?

To be honest after AJ's pompous rant, even though I'm largely a window open whatever the weather guy, I'd be tempted to sit next to him in my cycling lycra, along with lots of other non-white friends, waving Halal chicken and talking in tongues other than English.
And I'd shut the window firmly. That's how I'd want it and I'd happily tell him that if he didn't like any of it he should get off and wait for the next bus.
On the flipside, of course, I often also get thanked by people for "telling that obnoxious twat where to go' and even receive plenty of PMs of support on my way home.

They had a flag up a few weeks ago. I thought it was the Portuguese one, but not sure.

Red and Green?
Maybe a Portuguese bakery with custard tarts?
Oooh, pastis de nata!!!!!! Gets very excited.

Well that would make sense with the red, white and green paintwork I guess.
Pretty little red cross in a white box.
I thought the Portuguese Flag was Red and Green with a hint of yellow?

It's showing on my computer
Anyway, it is red and green with a bit of yellow, and white.

Yep, it's due to be a bakery and patisserie style place. Why I'm telling you this when it's on doorstep is slightly mystifying to me.
hah, so I was right almost having mentioned food. Only foodie places have mosaic columns
unless they're in discos or different countries
