Hardly getting over it.
Of course it's riddled by class, and of course society is poorer for it.
Which is why greater efforts need to be made to liquidate the ruling classes and their poodles, the bourgeoisie.
It's a long wait isn't it?

Always happens, whenever somewhere gets "gentrified", especially if the weekenders don't actually live there (even the bourgeoisie generally know better than to shit on their own doorsteps). Let's hope some medieval-type beatings get administered to the obnoxious twats, like we used to see in "the olden days"!

Part of the problem is that, to be fair, who wants them to die quick and easy? Not when you can draw out their suffering, and make them feel a modicum of how they've made you feel, IYSWIM?
I got it again #666

So would I. The main issue would be "how the fuck would the buses circumnavigate it without causing mega-jams?", though.

Except, occasionally, for the German supermarkets over here.
Paprika crisps are definitely the daddy of crisps, though.

I've seen them in Aldis and Lidls and have tried one or two, but it wasn't the same. Spanish ones are good. Scando ones too.

Someone pass VP a hanky.
How about making the buses terminate at the town hall and the police station. They wouldn't need to go anywhere. Yes, some people might need to catch two buses to complete a journey that currently takes one but so what?

Given how many bus-changes take place on that short stretch of Brixton Rd between the town hall and the first rail bridge, you may well have a point.
That's the whole point, isn't it?
I don't see any traffic management posts by you, just crisps.
ViolentPanda

But you/we might benefit from the non-bottlenecking of the start of Brixton Rd.
Although, to be fair, the best solution would be to bore a subterranean roadway between Mitcham Lane in Streatham, and Kennington or Waterloo, so only buses used the surface roads between those points. It wouldn't be the same as pedestrianisation, but it'd certainly make the traffic far more bearable.

Seems more than a bit selfish to me.

Other than the billion or so downlighters, I don't mind it as much as I expected I would. They are having pictures made for the walls using old photos from the cafe which should help. I do miss being sat at the same table with strangers though. That made for some good chats. It would seem a little odd pulling my table up to the next one and saying "mind if I join you".
Mind you, the chef needs to remember he is in an open kitchen now. The other day I watched him lick his entire forearm up to the tip of his thumb and then carry on cooking.

I completely agree.
I've only been once and I honestly can't see myself ever going there again.

Under the current pricing structure, those people would have to pay for 2 journeys, instead of one.
Of course, this could be solved by adopting the method used in some other European cities where your ticket is valid for a set amount of time, rather than for 1 journey, a pricingt method I approve of.

A. Because people pay them to show off their clothes
B. Some people like looking at clothes whether they can afford them or not.
C. A lot of people on average wages spend more on clothes that you would sometimes think. Especially as a one off per year kinda thing.
Everyone driving around in their own car is selfish. Their own personal plaice. I've haddock up to hear with it. Cod they are the selfish ones but i don't want to carp on about it so ell be going now.

We've going to the SEM Cafe in Loughborough Junction a lot more now. They haven't got anything to rival the magnificence of the toasted halloumi sandwich, but they've got a fine selection of greasy spoon fare and the prices are much better value.I completely agree.

I miss the old Phoenix.

We've been going to the Express Cafe in the market, but it's nowhere near as good as the old Phoenix.
