Honest burgers are far, far superior to Byron and GBK. The meat they use is well bred, well fed and really tasty, they always cook it as you ask them to (unlike Byron and GBK who have both fucked up my orders when I've visited them), their chips are delicious and they have always given me excellent service when I've been.

I wish I'd enjoyed their chips as much as others seemed to have done.

Anyone know if The Phoenix will be open tomorrow and in which location?

Not open yet, unless they've made quick progress and I've missed the new opening. The new location's down by the Dogstar, in the old music shop roughly opposite Bombay Kitchen iirc.

It wasn't open today (unless I walked past it without noticing). We went to the Lounge instead and then scoffed a ruddy wonderful banana chocolate and vanilla waffle in Kaff.

Neither location was open?
 
Anyone else with electricity problems in Brixton?
My supply went off for a second, only noticed it with the lights (which have been flickering all evening) but digital clock in bedroom was reset because of interruption to supply.

We had a 10 min power cut at 8ish.
 
There was a powercut on Sunday morning affecting Streatham for two hours. When you look at uk powernetwork's map [centred on Essex for some reason, just pull it across] (which I've been monitoring since then) there seem to be a lot of brown and blackouts across London whenever I look…
 
There's a photo exhibition at the Ritzy raising funds for the Soup Kitchen.

I noticed today that the BCA's building work seems to have progressed a lot. There's a whole new block there now.
 
The new Catholic-ethos 'free' school for Brixton, Trinity Academy, has been doing some impressive gerrymandering with its admission policy over the festive break.

There will now be a dual catchment, centred on Clapham Common Tube station and on the Brixton Hill campus.

There is also a lottery for around 10% of places - 'conducted and verified by an independent person of good standing'.

Places are still guaranteed for the children of founders ... of course!

What is the rationale for including Clapham?

I can understand distance from the school being a criterion but picking an arbitrary point, beside some of the most expensive houses in the UK, surely can't be justified.
 
Does anyone know someone who would repair the zip on a duffel coat?. I've tried places like timpsons and they won't touch it.

It's close to the homes of the founders, who made it the nominal central point before the Brixton site was found.

Clearly they don't want to give up on the Clapham angle - but I can't see how it can be legal.

However, anything is possible with Gove.
