Brixton news, rumour and general chat - January 2014

Will the title create a new thread naming convention for 2014?

i.e. will February be "The second Brixton news, rumour and general chat thread of 2014 - February"
 
Yesterday morning (New Year's Day) when I took the dog out I heard some loud shouting. Less than an hour later, in the location it had been coming from (corner of Bonham Road and Haycroft Road) there was a taped-off police scene with an ambulance and a fair amount of plod in attendance. Anyone heard what it might have been?
 
Someone tried to force our front bay window last night on Hayter Rd - they managed to break the central lock:

but the proper screw in bolts on either side held.

Mrs Winot reported it online not expecting to hear anything back, but the police called within 5 minutes then came round to have a look and to talk to the neighbours. An unexpectedly impressive response.
 
I just want to say that I see this thread has not been made a 'sticky', and presumably this is an oversight.

I do think that if ever there was a regular thread that didn't need to be made 'sticky', this is it.

I propose the thread is left as it is and is kept up there on the first page by 'footfall' alone.
 
Has anyone yet worked out whether Mango Landin' will reopen, in pub guise?

Have been trying out the White Horse, which has proved pretty good

what the white horse on brixton hill? that's a terrible abortion of a pub people exclusively by ghastly screeching preening wankers who epitomise all that is bad with british drinking culture. and the food has high ideas of itself too.
 
The White Horse is utter cack 98% of the time. OKish for one pint on a Tuesday afternoon, but that's about it.

Food is average.
 
It basically turns into a shit club most nights I've been there. Last I went was a few months ago as the Mango Landin was charging to get in. Never again.

Got a tweet from the Mango yesterday. So there is hope it may reopen.
 
Thread renamed. :(

Thread made 'sticky'. :(

December thread still a 'sticky'. :(

Great start to 2014.
 
Ah, some of the locals on the estate have decided to start the new year off with a bit of zip by having a bottle fight outside the Barrier Block.
