I'd imagine you could do at Elm Park.

The last time I renewed my passport was at the Post Office on Streatham High Road (same side as the station, before you get to Leigham Court Road) and that must be as small as the Elm Park PO.
 
Sadly I went before cuppa tee posted and no, they do not. The thought of going to the Brixton post office in this heat was too much. So I just sent it and now have 4 weeks and 1 day to get it back, apparently it takes 4 weeks, fingers crossed.

Just been past and there is still forensic people in there so must have been serious :(

Also three ambulances outside Mothercare. The Mothercare shop has its shutters down :hmm: busy times for the emergency services.

yes saw that, no idea what happened but it looked bad, I saw some people crying outside there, and vague snippet of overheard conversations lead me to think there might well have been a death.
e2a: in mothercare that is.

I find it slightly disconcerting that Zipcar are owned by Avis car rentals, in fact I don't think any of them are strictly clubs, but actually private business operating under pretence of being clubs.

I don't feel that they've ever tried to hide from me that they are private businesses.

Brixton Blog say that it was a 44 year old female employee who died of a heart attack:(
 
Nice to see a good crowd for the free Brixton Book Jam at the Hoot tonight. Kaff was pretty busy too, for a Monday.
 
Leafletted by UKIP yesterday evening - no name of their candidate, nothing about what the candidate would do locally if elected.

The person delivering the leaflets presented a vote for UKIP as a way to "give Labour a bloody nose for what they've done to [got the name of this estate wrong]".

Okay. I should take a huge leap of faith and make a protest vote in the local election when I don't even know the name of the person let alone exactly what they stand for (as opposed to what their party stands for)? I don't think so.

Also leafleted, but we just got a generic racist one....
 
I got a visit from the slightly eccentric candidate herself.

Rather than the usual anti-EU rubbish, she raised the issue of the Lambeth chief exec's £190,000 salary.
 
if that £190,000 keeps just one of those drooling, racist maggots out of public life, they're worth every penny.
 
Can I ask whether having a 'Baby on Board' sticker in the back window of your car permits you to drive like an utter tool and endanger the lives of other people?

3 of them in the last week in Brixton.
 
she's been awful quiet of late. you'd think she'd be tweeting up a froth at the prospect of getting her bum on a seat. poor show... *looks* nope, her account doesn't even give her actual name away, just a load of half-formed opinions. How am i sposed to know where to put my tick? It's like she doesn't really want to win at all! what are you playing Mrs Ukip lady?
