I am never astounded at how crap they are. Even basic, low level, domestic planning they can't get right, so they don't stand a prayer on anything more complicated

They are such fuckwits. They've just issued the notice granting planning and the condition agreed and minuted has been included but incorrectly.

Condition agreed and minuted.

• The development to be levelled to the lowest point

Condition 14 of the planning approval states:


The proposed buildings shall be built to the ground levels and heights shown on the approved drawings or lower and if the indicated existing heights and levels of the neighbouring properties should prove to be erroneous, then the heights of the proposed building shall be no higher than the relative height differences between the heights of the neighbouring properties and proposed buildings unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Not the same thing...

The Hoard of Ecumenical Yodellers!
T.H.E.Y. – The Horde of Ecumenical Yodelers… They don’t actually yodel… their name is but an innocent sounding smoke screen to divert attention from the group’s true purpose – to rule the earth. T.H.E.Y. are actually an ultra secret, clandestine society of world leaders. The Horde of Ecumenical Yodelers wields more weight than any common governmental body.

Under the railway bridge by M&S earlier, an elderly chap with a red face and bushy beard was sitting
with his plastic bags, a small group of people were around him, a woman was offering assistance
but one of the small crowd told her...... "it's ok he's only an actor ya "

That could well be true. There were a load of people with a camera outside M&S earlier filming someone with that description about 1ish.

Can't see Morrisons doing much good virtually opposite Lidl.
The Stockwell Sainsburys is a blast from the past for me - I remember being heart-broken when they closed Stockwell as Sainsburys expected everyone to go to their new flagship Nine Elms store (by car) - talking early 80s now.

Blacks? Alternatively, try the camping & outdoor dept of the Scout Association's shop (or the Guide Shop more or less next door) in Buckingham Palace Road. Or the YHA shop, which is also somewhere in central London.
 
Didnt Blacks go into receivership recently? Try Argos too, thats the only place in brixton i can think of that does camping stuff.
 
On an unrelated note: in Run ( the c4 series) I remember a really nice young woman who used to move between barbershops and pubs selling pirate DVDs back in hmm 2007 or 8. I thought it was a nicely observed detail to flesh out an imagined? story line for this person by the writers ( i did help her out once because she was clearly distressed and ran up to me on the street). I'm sure it has been mentioned before but we always wondered what happened to the lady who played the flute and had drawings- mostly of fish - for sale outside the tube. We have one in pride of place in the living room.

In receivership or not, they've still got a branch open near Clapham Junction.
 
Anyone have any information about the grey haired lady with glasses who can often be found staring blankly into the distance around Windrush Square with her trousers falling down? Often found disorientated and confused getting abuse from the lads in Ladbrokes on Acre Lane. She was looking really worse for wear a month or so ago, it was concerning, before vanishing. Yesterday she was back outside the convenience shop on acre lane looking a lot healthier, not sure if she had received some help or not.

Southampton Street in Covent Garden (just off the Strand) is good for camping shops - there are three or four in that road and so one of them is likely to be of use. It may be best to look at the tent manufacturer's website first to look for parts stockists etc
