I am all in favour of ignoring the opinions of 16-25 year olds. Young people are loud, annoying & don't know they're born, etc. I'd probably increase the ignored age range to 16-35. Anyone who can't remember the 70's has nothing useful to add to the debate, unless the topic is Justin Bieber's latest hair style.

And the '70s were shit and we don't want to be reminded of them, thank you very much.

Who nicked all the funky baskets from Iceland??!!??! :mad:

All those nifty ones with the pull up handle & wheels, ALL GONE! :mad:

They've reverted to wire baskets, circa 1980....:confused: :(

FFS! Obviously stolen by people who don't come prepared with their own trolleys.

If you mean the Brixton branch, I'm sure they had the wheeled ones at the start of the week. Oh wait, no, that was the West Norwood branch.

Scratch that, I was in Wing Tai on Wednesday, went around Brixton Iceland afterwards, and they had wheeled baskets then.

My info is 24 hours out of date - went to Iceland last night, around about 7 or 8, and all the nifty baskets had been usurped by crappy old wire ones. I didn't enquire to the staff as to the reason or whether it was a permanent change, but they were definitely knackered old wire baskets...:(

Drat!* Their trollies do my back in, and the wire baskets don't hold enough if you buy bread or frozen veg.

*So annoyed that I've had to resort to non swearing.

They fit in better with the vintage retro nu-Brixton vibe. Ironic baskets. They'll be in all the cocktail bars soon, next to the jamjar drinks.

Indeed, the wall lights at 384 on Coldharbour Lane are exactly such baskets filled with old bulbs. I quite like them but I am usually wrong about such things.

Seems the evil ones who turned Clifton Mansions into expensive flats take exception to fellow evil ones trying to build more expensive flats next door....:rolleyes:

The applicant is Soner of the Phoenix (and developer of Soner Square). Have not looked but presumably the old Phoenix site?
 
The 414 was surprisingly fantastic tonight. Really good crowd who kept partying till 4am. Great night!

I noted an objection from the owner of Bookmongers to a development on this site lodged before Christmas.

Maybe some pause for thought rather than total cynicism is required.
 
Something has been worrying me lately.
There is a Kalmars "Offices To let" sign in Jellyfish's window.
Surely they aren't moving out already?
