Brixton news, rumours and general chat - December 2012

[simonSW2]

Anybody live on Brading Road? Got a friend maybe moving there and wondering if it's got a nice community vibe like so many of the roads near it?

Handy place to live I reckon - I've been to the pub quiz in the Elms pub a few times - always welcoming, good chats with locals - you also have the little post office nextdoor and the ALL NEW French Deli coffee place which looks great but I do wonder how they will fare as it seems quiet round there. All in all a good spot, 5 minutes to the park, couple of minutes to the Hill.

Rat Records in Camberwell has a professional liquid cleaner or something , a quid a go. @Ringo knows the details of what it really is.

I've used it a couple of times. The records both came back very clean and shiny, but only one sounded significantly better. Not much better than washing up liquid and warm water I reckon.

Hi, does anyone know who this guy was? He was at the Station Road Market on Sat.

No idea, but I've seen his stuff at the Josephone Avenue art fair. That's not till summer but you could contact the organisers and see if they recognise the artist?

I saw his work but he didn't seem to have any business cards. Have you checked the makerhood website?

Apparently, a road digger has managed to burst a main water main on Coldharbour Lane close to Granville Arcade

Yep I had a look but couldn't obviously see it- that'll teach me for being so indecisive!!

Maybe this is a cunning plan by the council to give us another temporary ice rink. But outside. So we can compete with the Somerset House rink and attract yet more tourists. So the landlords can ask for even higher rents. And the council can get even higher prices for all the council estates and public buildings they want to flog.

The paving on Windrush Sq may look pretty, but it's pretty much an ice rink in the morning at the mo...

*wonders why he took on another non profit venture!

I live very close to brading road and its a really nice area. The French cafe bloke seems to be doing very well.
