Is that why Foxtons was tapped off, when I walked past about 5pm? I was hoping someone had put their windows in, but it looked more like forensics on the street outside.
 
There's a huge spotlight shining into the sky from somewhere to the north. Anyone know what it is? Something to do with the WWI anniversary?
 
oh, have they not opened yet? I so happened to walked past that way for the first time in a while recently and wondered how long we'd managed to have screwfix and not notice.

Flyer I received today says 7th (so day after tomorrow - I was getting ahead of myself!). 10% off everything 7th-10th.
 
Oh, big kudos must go to (presumably) Lambeth cleaners who sorted out the phenomenal mess that was left after Splash on Sunday. There was mountains of bottles, chicken remains, paper, cans etc covering the space outside my block when I went past at 2am and by 10 am it was spotless.

Agreed. I was going to post exactly that but got distracted! Yesterday it looked like Splash had never happened. Great job.

I imagine the event organisers had to pay for cleaners. Friends who came to visit on Sunday night with their dog said it was a nightmare with all the chicken bones littered around.

There was a horrible mess of half eaten/discarded food outside my block. The foxes ate well.
 
Did anyone notice the foxes' chorus last night up Brixton Hill? It was somewhen after 10p.m. in the gardens bordered by Branksome, Winterwell, Haycroft and Bonham Roads. Sounded like a proper vulpine beano/tear up.

This is most awesome news. I've long yearned for a proper big hardware shop nearby. There's a couple of tiddly sized ones in Brixton but I don't like small hardware shops - they really only work for people who know what they're doing & what it is they actually want. I like supermarket style hardware shops where you can walk around looking at all the gubbins, trying to work out what everything is and what it might be useful for. :cool:
