No, it was always warmer and droughtier or we may get extreme weather/wind/rain/ice but the tabloids were all Sun? Drought? Bring it on!

I think ur right. If Gulf Stream moves due to climate change affecting the oceans ( as it apparently is what gives us our moderate wet climate) we are fucked.
 
I thought with global warming in South east we would get climate like south of France. I was looking forward to that. Where is it?:facepalm:
What's happening is that the polar jet stream, whose path moves from north to south in a wavelike motion, is moving much further south and for much longer. This means longer periods of cold wet weather and warm dry weather. It's why last summer was so bad.
 
Just got hit by another car in Electric Lane which ended in a full and frank confrontation *thumbs* :mad: I'm gonna have to write another letter to the council cos this is properly starting to get ridiculous :(
 
Nope. Tbh I was too riled and shouty :oops: We had a full and frank exchange of views and he apologised in the end for driving like a cunt. And tbf he only tapped my arse slightly with his wing mirror so no real harm done. But there's becoming a bit of a dangerous pattern re this stuff in the centre and at some stage someone is going to get hurt :(

I'm going to write a letter to someone on Monday. I'm just not quite sure who that someone should be at this stage.
 
I'd do
Borough Commander
Safer Neighbourhoods Team
Councillors for your ward
MP
whoever oversees the market at Lambeth
South London Press
...there are probably more, but that's my initial off the top of my head list

Here's an idea: how about starting a new thread? Others can add their own experiences and opinions and hopefully it'll help to build up a clear description of the problems.
 
went to the pub today that's opposite brockwell park and it reminded of the sort of clientele that goes to bars in chelsea, nightsbridge, fulham, etc. looked like a lot of money about...old blokes in chinos with deep tans, in their sixties with big barnets of flowing grey hair...seemed alright in there though

just about to have two pork pies and a bottle of pepsi max as it's saturday night and i'm not tired.
 
Brixton nightlife update: Albert moderately busy. Huge queues outside Dogstar as usual. 414 still closed :( Prince of Wales busy. Upstairs at the Ritzy rammed. Music pretty good but it don't 'alf feel like I'm in Clapham. Lots of girls with big expensive leather bags.

I honestly don't think I'll go out much in Brixton on a Saturday any more. Feels a bit sad.

It has changed out of all recognition in the last few years, and the amount of people coming into town must have doubled - at least- but there's still one or two places that have the old flavour (Grosvenor/Hand in Hand/Albert etc).

I've also realised how different Coldharbour Lane feels without the 414 open. I really hope things get sorted out OK for them at their licensing meeting on Tuesday night.

tbh I'm not comfortable putting it out there on a separate thread at the moment. I'll write to the police and council though.

I didn't mean you necessarily listing your circumstances, but just posting a general moan about what's been happening there. Maybe I'll do it because it pisses me off.

I cycle or walk down there pretty much every day and it's amazes me how some drivers are so fukcing stupid. They seem to forget a) that you're not actually supposed to drive along there in the middle of the day, and b) that there is no pavement and you cannot drive straight through pedestrians and cyclists :facepalm:
