At the danger of boring those who find discussion about poverty in Brixton so tedious,
What's tedious is enduring repetitive lectures about what we already know from someone who criticises £70 food tours and people with large kitchens whilst simultaneously posting on other threads about their £400 camera. And before the "disruptive personal dig" algorithm kicks in, perhaps you'd like to review the content of post no. 657.

Once again you're attempting to turn the argument into a personal one. Whether I own a camera for work is utterly irrelevant to the debate about deprivation in Brixton.

Your constant personal attacks add nothing to the debate and are purely designed to provoke a reaction and disrupt threads. I'm utterly fed up with them. Stop now, please.
 
If I may interrupt the fight, the Thameslink is buggered today. Am I my third train trying to get from blackfriars to tulse hill and have just got to Loughborough Junction. It may have been easier to walk....

Reason is variously flooding, signalling problems, knock on effects from issues earlier and a train breakdown. Lots of cancellations, everything else running 30 minutes late min. Avoid....

Oh dear. Where does the flooding come from? It didn't rain much today/last night, did it?

Must be a burst pipe..... It was bloody cold! Farringdon apparently, but trains are cancelled from Sutton. It was a bit of a pickle earlier but seems to have got worse as the day has gone on.

The mysteries of trains.....
 
I think comparing the Brixton Society's tour to a McDonald's meal is a bit harsh tbh.
This is what you get for your £3:

The tour shows how shopping grew from nothing to make Brixton South London’s biggest shopping centre by the 1920s. The development of shopping was one of the key elements in the development of Brixton and a vital part of its history. We explore this development as we walk through the various markets and shopping areas. Feedback from one recent walker “truly fantastic. best walking tour I’ve been on in London. huge thanks”.

Included in the walk price is a copy of the book Brixton Markets – a heritage walk, which otherwise retails at £2

Fair enough - it was not intended to be a judgement on the quality of the tour or it's value. The point being not that one is crap and the other good. But that whilst they are both meals they are totally different things and to compare them on price without looking at the differences is pointless.

I've no issue with the society's tours and £3 is a bargain. I reckon they should consider asking people to make their own decision about what the tour was worth at the end. I've been on a couple where they do this and mostly people appeared to be handing over tens and twenties after a couple of hours because they had enjoyed it so much.

Thanks for the heads up. My train to Farringdon this morning was on time, possibly for the first time this year, and I even got a seat from Elephant & Arsehole. Looks like it's the tube home then.
 
Here's my experiences from the Hoot last night.
A disappointing night in Hootananny, Effra Road, Brixton
