The BF and I will be spending Christmas day morning/lunchtime ferrying older people to and from a Christmas day lunch event in central Brixton at the Vida Walsh Centre and delivering meals to isolated older people in South London on behalf of Age UK Lambeth.

Please help us reach our target...almost there!

editor Can you give this a little push on the buzz please?

I see that it's reached its target - maybe up it a bit to encourage more donations?

Thanks editor I have messaged my colleague to suggest increasing the target, hopefully she will see my message soon.

We really would appreciate a retweet or two over the next 2 days also. I can scribe some tweets and PM them to you if that helps?

Just put @brixtonbuzz in the tweets and I'll RT 'em.
 
Was in Morley's kitchen dept this week. They're practically giving stuff away. I worry for their future tbh. It's been a really bad year for the high street.
 
I'm having a vegan Christmas. I managed to get nearly everything I want food wise from Nour Cash and Carry and the market. Nour Cash and Carry are very helpful and stock a surprising amount of stuff. And its imo cheap.

Also booze from the off license opposite Dogstar on CHL. He has been there for years and is struggling with people buying online/ supermarkets.

So tomorrow Id recommend supporting small shops/ market.

The Brixton Blog have lost me somewhat with this piece. What has it got to do with Brixton? Or have they been weirdly hacked? Posy Bernstein’s Dating Diary | Brixton Blog

It's kind of odd. Seems it's a guest contributor's regular blog. I mean... odd.
I'm not sure why it's there or where they're going with it. The previous one says men don't like fat or loud women. Not feeling this at all.

Even by Brixton's usual high levels, there seems to be a shitload of police activity around the main drag right now.
 
Those UCKG fuckers are really pissing me off. It's bad enough having them hover around the tills at Iceland when you want to pack away your shopping in peace, but now they've taken to actually grabbing your goods and stuffing them in your own bag without asking.
 
Funny seeing so many pubs shut tonight in Brixton. Just passed the closed Prince of Wales, Market House and the Dogstar. Albert was open and the Railway is packed.

This so-called 'Posy' dreams of being another Bridget Jones. She's probably got a shortlist of actors to play her in the movie. She uses that trick of going strongly in one direction and then swerving in the other direction at the end. Awful hackery, and a rather dishonest mangling of her material. I may subscribe. Car crash columnism. She might get picked up by the Mail if she amps up the self-hatred. In the meantime she's persuaded the Brixton Buzz people that she can drive traffic. Or maybe she IS the Brixton Buzz, which was only ever meant to be a launching pad for Posy.

There is no fucking way on earth Brixton Buzz publish inane drivel like this. It's published on the Brixton Blog which is a very different thing.

I'm not actually sure what you did, but maybe I should start my own diary of a lost and lonely posh foodie looking for a champagne'n'fromage quaffing lady in the alleys of Pop Brixton. Imagine the tribulations!

I find it so odd. It's outdated and irrelevant (the dating Ms Jones shtick), represents nothing about Brixton and is potentially offensive. What's the editor doing and why waste a perfectly good column on this?
