Brixton news, rumours and general chat - April 2013

[twistedAM]

gutted to have missed this. My friends who run The Vegan Tart (I never get to name drop so I damn well will now.. ) won the main and a 2nd prize and The No Frills Band were playing, loads of friends down to watch it from all different walks of life... we were absolutely freezing our socks off in a field in Surrey camping.. but anyway, here is the prize list:

The winners are:
Overhall winner: The Vegan Tart
Cakes - Portia's Kitchen
Cupcake - Lambeth College
Biscuits & bites - The Carob Pod
Savouries - The Vegan Tart
Bread - The Pandam Bakery
Vegan - Khansa

Cupcake section?

These 'pedestrian wayfinding systems' (maps, mainly) are coming to Brixton; rubbery signs in the pavement on CHL outside the Barrier Block led me to google 'tfl legible' and these came up: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/microsites/legible-london/

Handy, for people like me with no sense of direction, but just more junk on the street getting in the way of pedestrians

They are already here. There is one outside KFC. I noticed it yesterday.

Those Legible London maps are excellent bits of design. They're always printed so they're oriented to the direction you're looking at them, with landmark buildings rendered in 3D outline. A circle of 5 minutes walk radius. All the important buildings labeled. To be welcomed.

Which means it is twice I have walked past it - and not seen it

Maybe it's a pop up one like the urinal.

No doubt it will get used in the same way.

It is May. This thread is redundant

Not on the Pacific island of Niue, it isn't. They're still basking in April.

Cupcake section?

Aside from the fact it's cupcakes, is the winning prize for the Lambeth College section that supports Adults with Learning Disabilities to bake for profit?

I think it used to be the Fridge (before it moved to the Ace), which is perhaps appropriate.

I've always wondered why there is a building that says Ace on it on the corner of porden road and brixton hill.

Mention in the Evening Standard this evening of Brixton Foxtons hiring bouncers because of all the protests.

 

[Badgers]

Prince Albert chair update

Much more suitable for the space

I remember whwn it was the Electricity Showrooms, or the Gas Showrooms, they were next door to each other, I think.

Handy now that the opinions of the residents of Carlton Mansions needn't form any part of the 'consultation.'

April and May forced to the share same space
maybe a change in the name of the thread to.........
"Brixton news, rumours and general chat - April/May 2013"

as a satire on the thread room tax

 

[Badgers]

If someone does not start THE MAY THREAD soon a new 'tittle tattle' theme will appear
