You definitely weren't the only one.
I thought it was some advertising thing for Bon Marché that was far too French and sophisticated for me to understand.

Solidarity against neoliberalism!
There's lots of crude tagging round about there high up. Stuff above phone corner looks really crappy. Taggers with heads for heights.
I thought that was particularly rubbish display - not sure what to make of the dogs.
I liked it when one of the posters in the Topshop windows had fallen off the wall covering the seated mannequin like it had floored her, last week.

Hardly getting over it.
And if you happen to be going to Berlin for your annual (or in the case of me and Greebo, quadrennial) holiday, and are expressing a wish to have an al fresco brunch while there, what then?
Idiot.

Curse us for wishing to holiday somewhere, and daring to seek a brunch while there, when we could have had a "Berlin Brunch" for £20 from the market, and fulfilled our cosmopolitan urges in Brixton!

Good advice.

Beware hedgehogs
The Rec gym has had a facelift over the last months and now is looking very good indeed. I'd really recommend it. £29,95 a month unlimited anytime access. Not cheap but half the price of the Soho Gyms on Clapham High street. To be fair the Soho Gym is quite a bit better but it's also 60 notes a month.

Oh. Ok...
I've reworked it a bit but admit that image manipulation is not one of my strong points.

Then I wish you a happy holiday and that you enjoy as many alfresco brunches as you want while you are there. Are you pretending to think I have said it's wrong for people to go on holiday? The whole point of this is the repeated comments about how X costs more than Y spends on basic living costs per week/month/year. Some event/restaurant/whatever in Brixton is criticised on the basis of what it costs, and then that amount of money is placed against another amount which represents what some of Brixton's most hard-up have to live off. And the underlying implication is that there's some kind of moral problem with money being spent frivolously in Brixton when it's in the context of the poverty of some who live nearby. Well, you can argue there is if you want but then at least be consistent, instead of cherry picking certain examples like, say, this Berlin Brunch - which I won't certainly be wasting any of my money on - but I'm not going to judge those who do, in the sneering way that comes round again and again on this thread.
If people are going to imply that there's something wrong with this frivolous spending on eating out, then it seems rather as if they don't think they ever engage in the same themselves. Or is it OK if it's conducted outwith the bounds of Brixton?
I'm not going to criticise you or anyone else for spending your disposable income on holidays any more than I'm going to criticise some twentysomethings for spending their twenty quid on a faux Berlin Brunch experience. Or the hundreds of people spending fifty quid on a night out at the Dogstar every weekend, as has been going on for years anyway. Or any of the other Brixton bars, restaurants, clubs, venues, whatever.
And my making this point will now be spun into an implication that I don't give a toss about the poor of Brixton, or that I am a cheerleader for the systemic processes that are changing Brixton into something that I don't want any more than many others here. Or perhaps someone particularly disingenuous will twist things into an unpleasant accusation of "psychological abuse" just because I choose not to go along with the lazy, sneery tone of repetitive commentary that seems so often to dominate this thread.

That's more +Bunfight I would have said. Perhaps ++Bunfight.

To be fair, I'm guessing your posts crossed unless Teuchter types at the speed of light.
More critically, are the new emojis like Han's on Urban or from something like tapa talk?

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint

I only use a phone for Urban now. I actually have to W*RK all day at work these days. [emoji27]
Actually I generally hate emojis, but I'm trying to be like a cool ironic hipster. Innit bro.

You've got your terminology a bit confused here. AFAIK this is a £20 lunch from Market House, rather than "the market".
BTW I would be more likely to have a day trip to Berlin on Ryan Air for £19.99 and sandwiches from Lidl rather than a £20 "brunch" at Market House.

I didn't think there were any personal attacks in the post. It seemed to me that he was just taking advantage of what Editor said in the January thread:
