Brixton news, rumours and general chat - July 2013

we got one today- says we may have a different postman (we don't have a regular one) and the timing may be different (we don't have a regular time). So a good use of money all round.

Yep, that's the one I got.

Friend is getting pissed off as he's ringing his door every morning and waking him up to gain entrance to the block of flats, so I don't know whether it's a new postman or not.

What time will the post arrive today? Ours tends to vary between 11am and 3pm

you but you should be glad as you now have the opportunity to play post time betting, opening a book on when the post's delivered.

Effra Social about 1pm

It had been painted over at 3pm when I came back past.

It was on my way from work to the caff, tbf.

The 'Eurolink café'

 

[Chilavert]

The Effra Social is a more legitimate anti-gentrification target in my opinion.

 

[Manter]

The 'Eurolink café'

I really should get over my fear and go in one day. But it does look remarkably unappetising!

 

[pissflaps]

those bollards aren't helping... euw

 

[Manter]

I like the wind-blown rubbish and weed-infested grass

 

[Onket]

I had forgotten about that place. Might go tomorrow (if I remember).

 

[Onket]

Of course, the anti-gentrification graff started much earlier. This was taken in 2010-

As angry rallying cries go 'Yuppies Out' is a bit weak tbh.

'Yuppie Scum Fuck Off' or something would at least sound less polite.

 

[Onket]

The 'G' is similar. Perhaps the same disgruntled local?

The 'Eurolink café'

Mmmm. So tempting!

What's it say above Yuppies Out?

Those two tags were done last week / week before - local graffiti kids Ders and Gors. Unrelated to the Yuppies Out thing.
