Would still go down Station Road and see what they can do for you. Usually those types of businesses have 'connections' and can try and find what you need. The cooker/ washing machine place that was on Brixton Hill was great. We still have the cooker he sold us 17 years ago. Unfortunately the shop is now gone and retired to a golf course somewhere in his Porsche. His original shop was in Reliance arcade. Boy done good!

Brixton prison news Brixton prison – new restrictions implemented after outbreak of Covid-19
CH1
"Red Guard"(NLYL)
As an aside when I lived in a small flat I used a dehumidifier. Apart from clearing up steamed up windows, and as you say keeping bedding etc dry, it completely eliminated the problem of BLACK MOULD which always crops up in TV programmes about poor housing, exploitative landlords and negligent councils.
Actually those problems were brought on - at least for me - by installing double glazing. Zero draughts leads to damp when couple with hot baths and cooking in a confined space.

An out of town friend who read the covid data most days told me yesterday that Brixton Hill West (which is something called a "MSOE") had the highest rate in England. Which given the neighbouring areas were far lower, had to be prison related. Which your article seems to confirm.
Coincidentally we finally had decided to order delivery food from the Clink but that's been cancelled

Yes it's very sad news about the prison. Also because I had a delivery coming on Friday, but that's now been cancelled of course and I'll have to eat my own food 
. Hopefully they'll email me once they're back up and running and I'll be making an order immediately!

A lot of prisoners are and have been on a 23 hours lockdown for a while now :/
Rang this number this morning and told they're only making appointments for over 75's. They do have spare appointments and it was quite easy to get through - about 5 redials.
I was looking at how to book a test and when you book it says that you also need to book a follow up 3 days later. Any idea what the follow up is for?
I thought that you get the results via text the same day.

I went to the town hall twice last week to be tested, Tuesday and Friday. There seems to be plenty of available appointments when you are asked to select what time, so i dont feel i am taking them from more vulnerable people.
In and out within 10 minutes and results in under an hour. Negative both time

I went to the windmill centre twice and it was fast and painless.
I was also able to get the first jab yesterday through my GP, it was all rather efficient and fast. Most people there were under 60 too so presumably that means that they making good progress surge the elderly

Clinically extremely vulnerable vaccinations started yesterday along with 70+. Possibly that? I got my jab this morning at Paxton Green - felt like the youngest by quite a stretch. Not just efficient with loads of staff stewarding but also thoroughly cheerful and friendly, down to someone congratulating you when you were done. Most impressed. And grateful.

I think (not certain though) it’s because the rapid tests are less accurate than the others so the follow up is to try to eliminate wrong results
thank you

Yes. Apparently there's quite a mask-less horde milling around. Not seen it for myself though..

You'd think the police or council would drop by more often given how central it is.

Bucking the trend of cases going down are a handful of isolated south London wards where rates have gone up a lot, including Clapham Common. This is todays update.
Lets hope its not the 'South African' or some kind of other strain taking hold.

It's dead easy. I've had 2 and the system is great. Had the results before I got home on both occasions.
