Can't work out how to tweet to editor from my phone abroad but Londonist just tweeted a link to recipes from the traders in Brixton Village.

This? Bought one last week but didn't mention it as didn't have the energy for the inevitable foaming at the mouth ;)
 
I think I preferred it before it was "London's Most Exciting Market."
I knew you would :)

It is worth a look though- she tells you where to get ingredients and plugs places like Nour. It's not an 'available in all good supermarkets' type schizzle

I'm sure the book is lovely and I've got nothing against it - it's just a shame that no matter what the author's intentions, it will still add up to another turn of the already-overheated Brixton Village Hype Machine, with all that entails.
 
But I can hear it from my home! First world problems etc.

Anyway, Brady's windows are no longer covered up - I was trying to remember the last time I saw them with glass in.

Yeah, they were pulling the boards off the windows yesterday afternoon when I passed.
 
Anyone know what is planned for it.

A branch of Wahaca. Although works have overrun a lot (was due to open around Easter and it's still a way off being completed) so whether that's still happening is anyone's guess.
 
Had a good tennis knock at Brockwell Park this morning :cool: despite the drizzle.

Odd encounter on the way though :hmm: was cycling through and two women stopped me as there was an injured squirrel on the grass.

Their opinion was that it should be put out of its misery and (for some unusual reason) had a short handled sledgehammer with them (?!?!) to do the job. One of them told me she had put an animal out of its misery before but it 'haunted' her for two months (oddly precise) after the act. So they wanted me to do it :facepalm:

The squirrel was fucked :( and it was best put out of its misery. But then two blokes intervened asking me if I 'was a vet' and 'what if it gets better' which was never gonna happen :mad:

So I am standing over a mortally wounded squirrel holding a sledgehammer at 9:30am in the park with two women egging me on and two guys horrified at my brutality :facepalm:

Selfridges refuses to deliver shopper's £450 Mulberry bag to Brixton as it is too 'risky':

Mind you, with all that braying, I'm having trouble mustering up a microgram of sympathy.
In a further email, Selfridges customer services told her she lived in a “risky postcode”. Ms Daswani, who works for an assets management company, said: “It’s absolutely ridiculous. I live in a brand new £500,000 flat in a swanky apartment block in highest council-tax bracket in London and can afford to buy a Mulberry bag as a gift.

“I have no issue parking my brand new Audi outside my brand new flat and I’d happily walk around where I live with a Mulberry bag, I just can’t get one delivered.”

So that really happened? The blood spatters up your arms and all over your face looked a little fake so I thought you were just making an elaborate excuse for being late :D

Made from "mole textured nylon" :facepalm:

that bag has truly found it's spiritual home in a place with a branding as bogus as it's own

:rolleyes:
