Street Party: July 2
Amazing you've got Peter Hunningale on the stage
He dedicated his first song to me - and I missed it!
What time was it? The second was probably after they start charging a cover charge for viewing the (street) art in the gallery/toilets.

Me too! Only arrived about 1.30 or 2pm and couldn't stay long as I had to go to New Cross. Sorry I didn't manage to say hello. Looked good though

He sang at about 3.30 in the end. Wanted the audience to build up a bit!

Not that I wish to revive a bun fight, but that Baby On Board emergency services alert business is a load of bollocks.
If the rigorous training of our emergency services failed in the heat of the moment, it's possible that the presence of a car seat, 3 chewed Jellycat toys and a large smear of pureed biscuit down the back of the seat might jog their memory.

An FoI to Lambeth may be needed to find out what information they provided to TfL's Legible London team - all the naming of areas is supposed to follow a strict hierarchy:
Legible London Place Naming Strategy Guidance
A few readers (they know who they are) will enjoy the Pseud's Corner worthy attempt to claim that the manual follows the principles of Christopher Alexander's A Pattern Language

What's wrong with Loughborough Junction?
I think most people would recognise Brixton-Loughborough Junction-Camberwell-Peckham as the progression of neighbourhoods (ie areas with an identifiable centre and transport node) heading east from Brixton. At some point you have to move from one to another (unless the sign should be headed "no-man's-land-between-Brixton-and-LJ") and it seems perfectly reasonable for this to take place around the halfway point between the two centres, which is where this sign is.
(thanks for posting that document lang rabbie ... interesting)

leanderman Sorry I didn't manage to catch these ones playing. Shame as they look like an interesting trio.

Two of the Hobos, I think. The little orange fellow was nicked - at a cost of £25.
Despite the picture, the party was well attended. We were only setting up tables at that point
But I've learnt that if you start something at 12, most people turn up at 3pm.

Still gotta start at 12, else people will show up at 6.

Nothing at all. But trying to artificially extend it into Brixton for no good reason - historical or otherwise - is a completely pointless and confusing move.

At what point along Coldharbour Lane do you reckon LJ ends, and Brixton begins, then?

I think of the beginning of Loughborough junction as where the road bends left at Shakespeare rd.

i've got a headache in my pants...
The beer dray lorry for the dogstar was parked in a designated loading bay this morning, a mere 20 odd meters down the road, so that's a result. And the feds were ticketing RLJers on brixton road this morning, which always good to see. Wish they wouldn't park up in the bus lane tho.

Brixton is more than a place, it's an experience. A vibrant, edgy experience. You don't know where it begins, you only know when you're there.

There's piece about a new drama called "run" going out on channel 4 that was penned by two locals and filmed in the manor around the barrier block with a pic of them by the nuclear dawn mural.

Not seeing much Barrier Block in this trailer but Olivia Colman is a fantastic actress.

WTF?I've just seen on twitter that apparently Lambeth have banned Jeff the Chef and other jerk stalls from BBQing on the market
Any reason why? Hope this doesn't turn into another Kafka-esque Roti Van situation...

No idea as yet. Brixton Blog said they were going to try and find out. It sounds like that would effectively put them out of business though
How the fuck do you operate a jerk place without a bbq?
