I'm trying to work out which units they've got (10-11 in the Granville according to the licence application). I object to this on several grounds, but mainly that the markets should be a place where chains start, not where they end up. And much as I like bubbles, they go with canapes, not cheese.

True. We don't want chains.

However, this would appear to be Champagne and Fromage's second outlet.

This does not make it much of a chain.
 
Anyway....serious business now...STOP TESCO.

Save George IV public meeting this Sunday, 11am at the Hand in Hand pub, New Park Road, SW2 4EN.

Quite telling that a joint that started in Covent Garden chooses Brixton as its second location.
Woe is us.

Thank you for the offer..but this was on Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning a notice must of been put up...just we never saw any notices and got a ticket on the Wednesday morning....by the time we saw the ticket any notices must of been taken down also have no idea why parking was suspended either......

How annoying. Maybe you should appeal it. A lot of people win on appeal, the wardens make lots of 'mistakes'. Once I appealed and was in the wrong but the council didn't present their evidence in time, so I won. :)

I assume you have a resident's permit? I was thinking about selling my visitor permits to whoever wants them. It seems to be legal. They're £5 per day. so I thought it might be helpful to some of the market traders - two of them told me they can't get repairs done any more because the contractors won't come to Brixton because of the parking.

It's the place next to Honest Burgers. At present a grocery. Turning into a champagne bar. Welcomed by everyone on Urban.

That's be simply fantastic! Pricey burgers at Honest followed by champers next door! I'll get my padded jacket ready.
 
Morning all. We have a stall at the Brockwell park boot fair today. Proceeds going to the Effra Early Years Centre on Effra Parade. Quality women's clothes - bags, belts, dresses, tops, jeans and trousers.

Honest have been trying to get their hands on that unit for ages, I'd rather have something different than burgers taking up more space.
 
Nearly got run over by that twat on his motorbike in Brockwell park (if you've been at all in the last couple of months, you'd be familiar). He was hooning it all around the "valley" side, which was full of families :mad: I saw the police arriving as we left...

Not seen that loon yet. But more struck by how the revamp has, among other changes, led to a poshing-up of the playground.

Lots of preposterously-accented parents this morning with even more preposterously-named children: one was definitely called Nugget (sister to Beatrix).

That twat was practising his lack of riding skill in the green bit at the back of this estate (bordering the park) yesterday - using paths which often have small children, dog walkers (with their dogs off leash), elderly people, and disabled people on them. Inconsiderate fuckwit isn't in it.:mad:

umm - you know families often call their kids by nicknames? My niece was exclusively referred to as Po-nella (or Po for short, or occasionally, Ponybella for long) from the ages of about 2-9. Her actual name is Clare.
