Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[Ms T]

It hasn't opened yet. But it will be in the old bookies shop on the corner of New Park Road and Brixton Hill.

Not my bit of Brixton then.

You'll just have to come up to the 'wasteland'

Cut it in half and put half in the freezer. Or even better get it sliced and put it all in the freezer.

I already put sliced bread in freezer because I'm sick of b/f saying we've got no bread or the bread he got from Sainsbury's the previous day is rock hard

Exactly, it's much leafier in our part of Brixton. You should try it occasionally

A Scouse mate recently came to the pub in a foul mood after his gf served him 'poncy bread for rabbits' for breakfast rather than his usual white smeg loaf. He genuinely was quite outraged and put out.

He'll eat soda bread, including the brown one, quite happily though. It helps if it has "Irish" printed on it

And it's the only part that's going to survive climate change and the rising sea levels.

We'll be able to eat custard tarts while we survey the flooding

Now now, don't be saying things like that or they'll all want to move up here

Calling all bakery enthusiasts - get a breadmaker. They're brilliant. I no longer have to stress about going shopping at the right moment to get my favourite bread, the super posh La Brea from Sainsburys or the Old Post Office stuff at BWF. Everything I make at home tastes even better.

When I used to live quite close to that Old Post Office place, I would occasionally get bread from there. But I was never very impressed with it. It always seemed rather dry and heavy. In the end I decided the bread from Sainsburys was better.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Right, I've just gone past the old bookies on the corner of Brixton Hill and took note of the name

Paulo'z Way, Bakery and Patisserie Buffet

I think that's what it said anyway

 

[brix]

Patisserie Buffet

Patisserie buffet? Would that be all-you-can-eat gateaux do you think? I'm hoping so!

That's what I was thinking. Maybe buffet means something different in Portuguese

I'll be gutted if that's not what it means

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

you'll be thinner though

 

[brix]

True.

But I do love the idea of 'all you can eat cake'.

i recall a month or so back a discussion about winding up anti-abortion protesters opposite Marie Stopes on Brixton Hill.

Just gone past on bus, they're there now.

About half an hour ago they were walking down the hill, I guess from there, they were being escorted by a couple of policemen, just by the catholic church. Couldn't work out if it was a deliberate protest, or them being escorted away. They all looked very miserable.

"We were on a bus going past" being the operative part of my post, we'd already gone before I noticed them. But I posted on here as soon as I could from my phone to alert fellow Urbanites that may have wished to go along.

There's now a Pentecostal church band on KFC corner rocking away merrily.

Well remembered Minnie!

Passed by earlier so I took a pic.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Well remembered Minnie!

I had to remember it all the way home and it didn't occur to me 'til I was almost home that it was Paulo'z Way

I was thinking Paulo'sway and thinking WTF does that mean.

Someone needs to tell them they need a bit more space between the Z and the W

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Oh, I've just realised, there is some yellow there to represent the Portuguese flag


I wonder if the Z is meant to be a Z?

 

[Crispy]

The church band have shut up

The church band have shut up

Why? What did you do to them?
