Oh, and on the slim chance that any of these fuckers are reading this, here's my message to the shitheads who have moved into the old squats opposite the Albert and complained about the noise: FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING SELFISH CUNTS.

The pub has now had its licence cut back to 2am. :mad:

Looked on the Lambeth website and it hasn't been subject to a review, that is the only way Lambeth can change the hours. Looks like they have decided to reduce it to 2 themselves.

Trying to think. I reckon there was Saxone, Dulcis, Ravel, Clarkes and Stylo back around 1980.
Clarkes you will be familiar with - only closed about a year ago near Bodyshop.
Timpson is now the Beehive.
Stylo was in a railway arch on Atlantic road more or less backing onto C+F.

As for Saxone, Dulcis and Ravel - I think 2 were up where JD Sports now is side by side in single width shops.
The other was I think where the mobile phone zone is now. Which was where I can't remember.

Maybe someone else' can help?

You are correct about Ravel & Dolcis being where Jd now sits. As for stylo i had forgotten about that shop but again you are correct.

I have emailed Lambeth Licensing to ask last night.

The new Lambeth website shows current applications and reviews but does not show records of licensing. Which is crap if you want to know what a licensed premises has in way of hours and what it can do. Unless anyone else here knows how to get the new site to work?

As other premises have longer hours on this stretch of CHL there would have to be good reason to reduce hours of a pub. As Tolpuddle says the owner can reduce their hours.

You're relying on a public sector website to be updated regularly and efficiently run. Hmm.

the reports are always published in advance of meetings, I think this is a legal requirement. It hasn't been listed. Also, was there any notice displayed outside?

There may be a very upmarket restaurant opening up in the Angel. :(

Go on then, spill the beans. If one can't promulgate speculative rumours on this thread what hope is there for us all?

Has someone decided it's time Coldharbour Lane had its very own Bistrot Francais or something, or is it some sort of chain moving in? At least the former might be independently run by people doing it for the love. I fear the latter though, trying to cash in on the Brixton Village 'vibe'.....

So go on - spit it out :)

I've no idea, but those complaints have been real enough. Maybe the brewery decided to cut back themselves rather than risk a full on review (and potential loss of even more hours)?
 
Not strictly Brixton related but gosh, what a lovely day i've had. Had a lovely lunch in Streatham with a lovely person (she has been the love of my life but we are just friends at the moment). Even the sun came out. It's a beautiful evening. Evening Standard want to use a photo i took this morning. No pay of course but credit as a name check. I'll take that. It's not a great photo. An Arsenal win tonight will be the cherry on the cake of life. Get in.

With a touch of panache. It's good for the confidence as well as the mood of the team and myself. I draw analogies with The Arsenal and my life.

I love having my lady friend back in my life, she puts a spring in my step. This is my favourite time of the year. I love summer but it always disappoints like a bad lover. Spring offers hope and excitement a bit like foreplay. Then the marvelous mellow of autumn, the smells and colours, the flush of a love satiated but dragging with it the corpse of winter.

just enjoy spring while its here baby;)
 
We are just friends of course and i am happy (delighted) with that. I love that woman.

There is widespread speculation about myself starring in an opportunistic pop up programme on tv. Some of the rumours are true, some are nonsense beyond my control. Rest assured i have banked their money and will continue to defend the interests of the working class.

The middle class are not my enemy they are also victims of a system that seeks to chain as many to the machine as it can muster. The problem for me is the middle class steal the values and ideals of the working class, dress them up as there own. Then punish the working class by acting as police for their protector class. Over the post war period they have come to own that space.

What they attempt to do now is about territory of a different kind. They physically and financially occupy the space previously deemed culturally unacceptable to them. They naturally seek to change a hostile territory and are affronted when the working class object; moreso if it is done with anything resembling eloquence. The post production of Made in Brixton may not reflect these issues. If you see a working class person on this show they will have been coached, scripted and controlled with one exception.

Nothing will change, it will be good for business and almost everyone thinks that is always good. But some of us are still barking aloud and may have done something sneaky that is the only way now to get a socialist message broadcast on mainstream media. ;)

On the note of buses during the strike, I just noticed on my cycle back from town that they are running a special service ('2 extra') between Brixton and Victoria. This is only of note because it seems to be being run on old routemasters, including a couple of very handsome green line ones I saw on Stockwell Rd :)
