Sad to see it go, but I'd stopped going in years ago. He's been putting his best stuff on Ebay for donkeys. Back in the 90's when 80's reggae was at its least popular his whole basement was stacked high with 80's stuff at a quid a go. I filled my boots on that at the time, so happy to have had a few bargains off him.
On Ebay I generally avoid him as I find him to be expensive and slow and costly to post, probably because he was trying to keep the shop afloat.

Its not downstairs but at the back of Black market records at street level. Its easy to miss because all you can hear from the street is trance music but walk through to the back and the bass is sweeter and you know you have landed.

Right.
My travels round Brixton today have taken me past Fenstanton and Jubilee and round Brockwell Park which was busy with St Judes and Corpus Christi kids, all at school arrival time. Also past Hillmead at going home time. I took great care to observe small people on scooters.
My findings are that scooters are not a class issue. Elastic bands are not a class thing.
However wearing a helmet on your scooter might be.

Good point. Never understood the helmet thing. I don't think it is a class thing though.
I bought my daughter one of the mini micro scooters. I was hunting around for a deal and the only large retailers I could find selling that brand were John Lewis and Jojo Maman Bébé. Those are both quite middle class shops. The kids all seem to go for the Micro ones. I've since seen them in Balfe's bikes.

You can also get various pink and Peppa Pig and cheap brands in Argos, Halfords, ELC etc.
You can, but take a look at how many are on Micro compared to other brands. So they're all buying them at JMB or John Lewis.

Brixton Blog have been tweeting that Joy is occupied.
"It appears that squatters have gained access to the former Joy store and above, Coldharbour Lane #Brixton" 12.37 am
"There's a group of about 7 people outside the building, and one's wearing a high vis 'observer' jacket." 12.41 am
When I went past this morning the only thing out of the ordinary was a coupl e of warning notices - one on the door and one on what looked like a goods entrance.

I suspect that the reason they are buying the headlease is because - IIRC - they are the freeholder and want control of the building back. This will usually have the effect of extinguishing the head lease (as a freeholder cannot lease to themselves). And current sub tenants would become tenants of the council.
They have recently stated in an FOI that they are negotiating to buy out leases on properties of which they are freeholders in the YNTH development site too.
ETA They sold some properties on a leaseback basis (I think the old planning office was one of those) - did they do the same on this?
