Brixton news, rumours and general chat - June 2017

I see Dirty Burger on Coldharbour Lane has become Calcutta Street. I've walked past the one in the West End a couple of times and wanted to try it. Now is my chance!

At these prices they're going to have to be a whole load better than Khans:

Interesting name. Is colonialism a theme now? Awaits the Rhodesia Steak House.
Seems so:
The menu comes hidden in blue wooden boxes, reminiscent of the French shuttered windows in ‘Tolly’ (Tollygunge Club), a country club that exemplifies the colonial influence in the erstwhile capital which has been a Kolkata landmark from the days of the British Raj. It is still a much-coveted spot to hobnob with the elegant elite and nouveau riche, and membership is strictly offered only to those that have surpassed the corridors of success.

You could always ask her rather than sniping from the sidelines: Shrimoyee Chakraborty
How is quoting from a recently published interview "sniping at the sidelines"? What a weird thing to say :confused:

The interview answered twistedAM's question and I have no interest in bothering her for my own personal interview, thanks. I'm sure she's got better things to be getting on with and, truth be told, I've got nothing to say to her.
 
I know it's not Brixton but it's a good cause and the Royal Vauxhall Tavern is an ace bar, so come along if you can:

Party like it’s 1999: Switchboard and Climate Action benefit at London’s RVT tonight, 7th June
 
Went to Calcutta Street last night. 4 starters, 4 large size mains (they do two sizes), rice, chupati, 2 bottles of wine - £30ph (inc. service) for 4 of us. No doubt people on here will berate that for being overpriced but we thought it was very good. Different to Kricket, less street foodie and more substantial size portions. I'd still get my takeaway from Khans!

Also, althought the crab tasted very good it was a complete nightmare to eat as it was covered in a (amazing) sauce and therefore when using the crab crusher thing you couldn't do so without getting your hands covered in the sauce.
 
Sounds like they should have provided you with aprons, like they do in lobster restaurants :D
 
Went to vote about 12.10 pm. Both Polling Districts served by my polling station (Minet Road) were running at 10% turnout by then.
No idea if that is high or low.

The voters seem to be looking younger, which presumably favours Corbynismo, but then again maybe they look younger for the same reason as the Policemen look younger.

had a quick chat with the people in the polling station, said there were queues out the door before 9 and felt it was busier than normal - very quiet at 10

You are certainly correct.

In Brixton, 1999 was the year of a terrorist attack specifically aimed at the community who had lived there for nearly 50 years at the time.

It wasn't something to party about.
Fantastic point. Let's stop all charity events in south London if they have any connection with 1999.

:rolleyes:
