Brixton news, rumours and general chat - December 2012

What pubs, if any, are open on Christmas and Boxing Day? We are in the throes of pre-Christmas meltdown that might cancel our family Christmas trip to the South West and may need a plan b.

I'll definitely consider that as it's around the corner from me. But was toying with the idea of somewhere with food as we've got nothing in and it might be easier to go out than start to buy and plan now. Although I suspect that places with food might be booked out already.

 

[Manter]

Only ones I know of are in central london, but the hope in Wandsworth is open.... bit of a trek though....

I know the Albert is open on Christmas Day for three or four hours. Boxing Day too, I would imagine, but don't know for sure. @Badgers is likely to know.

Crown and scepter is open Christmas day 11.00 to 16.00

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Thanks, Minnie!

Just been past the Crown & Anchor on the bus and there's virtually no one there. Has Brixton emptied already?

Yeah, I was I there earlier. Think half of London goes 'home'

The Hand is open 12-3...

 

[leanderman]

That's really shit. Did they take it any further?

six days later we forced them to take a statement from the witness.

and then they talked him into doubting what he saw

ffs. not surprised, as i know a vicar who was threatened, until the scrotes eventually firebombed the vicarage. he saw them watching and laughing and the police wouldn't even talk to them. fucking horrible, watching everything he owned burn

I love this time ... when the provincials, skiiers and 'country supper' types clear off

 

[gaijingirl]

I love London over Christmas too.

I went into tube today to get a newspaper. Saw at least half a dozen people with suitcases on my brief walk up the stairs

Northerner and I are provincials- this will be our first Christmas in london

before we got the house, the options were small flat in london, or either of our parents' houses which had lots of room to veg, and endless food, and dogs, and open fires.

We now have all of that except the dogs. And there are some local huskies I'm going to kidnap...

You have to find out where they live first

 

[Manter]

You have to find out where they live first

I am putting all my energy into stalking them. They're stunning

 

[leanderman]

If you keep sheep, or cattle, you can also keep a dog.

Otherwise, no. This is a city - not a farm, or a zoo.

..but not the sharpest knives in the cutlery drawer...good at pulling stuff though....sled from Lidl, bringing home the Stollen?

I'm going to Stockport for Christmas. Hateful, hateful North. Why does anyone live there?

Why are you going there?

 

[Frumious B.]

Brother lives there. He likes it. Went to Liverpool Poly and never came home. Married a girl from Blackburn. Hard to believe he's really my brother. Probably a mixup in the hospital.

was it today you're meant to be going?... been up since silly am, so had BBC rolling news on - didn't realise how bad it is down there! Are you going? (((nagapieandfamily)))

I was up at Euston station yesterday and it was packed. (Not to leave London but to go to Renoir- a haven of peace and quiet).

I rather like Brixton over Christmas.

 

[Winot]

Regrettably we're going to have to leave London today but back on Christmas Day

No, tomorrow
