Whatever is going on there looks distinctly "meanwhile" to me.
They even have a WH Smith cash box rather than a till.

Went to the Bowie memorial service this morning at the Effra Road chapel.
Was well organised and not over-long at 35 minutes. A live band performed favourite Bowie numbers including Starman, Golden Years etc. and we were invited to sing along (with printed words provided).
After the service there was a reception in the church hall with nibbles and bubbly.
The church was pretty full and attendance was quite varied. Could have been mistaken for a Save our Libraries event. Nice they did something like this in Brixton to recognise people's feelings. More enjoyable than my normal Sunday fare would have been (a lecture on the Brain and Consciousness at the Conway Hall) - even if less informative.
Still sometimes the heart has to take precedence over the head.

As it happens according to the FT small craft beer outfits are struggling due to a bad UK hop harvest. This compounded by earlier bad hop conditions in the USA resulting in the US craft beer sector buying forward contracts on Kentish hops (I kid you not) Craft breweries scramble for hops after poor harvest - FT.com

Pleased that Lambeth is apparently one of the ten most Europhile districts in Britain - see http://www.economist.com/blogs/bagehot/2016/02/mind-gap
