Brixton news, rumour and general chat - June 2014

It's a minor moan, but the way that the outdoor seating for the two restaurants at the front of the Brixton Village is now spilling right out into the walkways is getting on my tits.

Not a minor moan at all. The two that put their tables in front of the studio doors on 4th avenue really take the piss, and a fire hazard too.
 
Coming up next month: Last ever Reel News benefit at The Grosvenor, July 5th
And in case anyone missed it (as I posted it in the transport forum): Photos from Stockwell Bus Garage Open Day, Sat June 21st 2014

I just missed it as was busy looking at St Andrew's church (Lambeth's oldest church built in 1767) in Stockwell which was open due to consultation to get rid of one of Stockwell's churches because both need a lot of work. St Michaels on Stockwell Park Road is the other church. If St Andrew's church goes, so will Hammerton hall, the last remaining sign of Stockwell's brewery heritage. (i also got a quick nose in there too)

I'd not heard of that. If you ever fancy writing a bit more about this to raise the issue more widely, I'd be happy to post it on BBuzz!

Yes, it has all been rather quiet. There was some interesting history printed out at St Andrews - however very little information about what is going on at all online. Both are old buildings in Stockwell as St Michaels is 1841. If I can find any decent information, I'll do a piece.
 
Looks like there's transport police at Brixton overground - only walked past so saw the yellow jacket from below, but careful if you're disembarking on Atlantic rd side (ie on trains running towards Victoria)
 
Can anyone suggest an osteo or sports masseuse type person. I appear to have hurt my back during one of my many sporting endeavours.
 
It's a 5pm kick-off. I booked a half day months ago. Not 'getting away' with much, tbf.

Get your GP to refer you to a physiotherapist. Or there's a place in East Dulwich - can't remember the name but I used to see the memorably named Amberin Fur.

Most likely a mob handed approach to ticket checking with the BTP, a private police force, there to enforce the laws that train companies enjoy, but no other private enterprises do, maybe with the exception of nuclear power generation.

The ticket checkers appear to be real low life. Maybe the passengers are kept safer by having BTP there.
 
Saw a bloke going down the pavement opposite the tube station on a Segway yesterday, irritating the hell out of pedestrians.
yeah i saw him too, coming out of the post office on Ferndale Road - looked like an old rocker. His segway was covered in punk stickers.
 
Here we go again, then-

4:30pm
Effra Social
Booze
Tomorrow

There will be no excuses accepted.
I will be there sometime between 5 and 7. I may or may not be trailing a small boy and a Northerner.

I basically have no idea what's going on today :)

There's a consultation here which was posted through out letterbox the other week:

Their website is here too: www.standrewandstmichael.org.uk

Gutted I missed the open days. Really wanted a look in Hammerton Hall. Volunteers have been clearing up the gardens at St Andrews over the weekend.
