Brixton news, rumour and general chat - December 2013

[Dexter Deadwood]

I think someone had a holiday in Brixton and made this beautiful film.

Tonight at the Albert we'll have limited supplies of Brixton Buzz beers and Coldharbour Courage ale available, with all profits going to the Brixton Soup Kitchen as usual. It's £5 to get in (free for regulars) - PM if you want to be on the guest list.

That film reminds me that Dex is now POW Live! according to the new signs they were hanging this morning.

Busy on the main drag. Pavement etiquette suffering a bit. Glad i'm indoors now.

Happy New Year to you too! I've always assumed that you and I have Keith TOTP and James Rocks in common, but I'm probably mistaken.

Couldn't see anything else different to POW other than signage; and an old friend recently quitting the POW due to their rubbishness.

I forgot about that. I didn't think it was so early.

News from the north side......
Low Price Food and Wine may have to have a rebrand as they appear to have lost their alcohol license, shame as they were purveyors of Crunk Juice as previously mentioned on this very forum......
Cycooldelic Bike Hub appears to have gone, there is no sign of life in the shop and two notices in the window mention a closing down sale, shame as that big terrace would have been a good spot in the summer months......

bad news x 2

Low Price was my local shop for over 6 years - decent people and they've done well to compete, what with two Tescos on either side of them. Know why they lost their licence?

The cycle shop going is sad too - genuinely interesting business and use of the space. Am I right in thinking they only had preferential rent for a year or something??

We need a new thread.

May I be the last to wish you all a Happy New Year?

 

[Manter]

No

Happy New Year

 

[Dexter Deadwood]

This thread is so last year.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Happy new year all!

Good on you for stepping in with some voluntary modding work whilst the real mods are sorting out their hangovers
