Well, there is a sourdough in Wild Caper that claims to derive from a 500-year-old Neapolitan 'starter'.

I've got some of that starter, which I used to make my own, very much cheaper, sourdough. The thing is, starter adapts to its environment, so it's now a Brixton starter.
 
Just reading the Tripadvisor reviews of Brixton :D

Brixton is only worth visiting if you are a local doing there shopping, As the title says there is nothing there to do.

Brixton Town Centre and Market, and the surrounding areas, are amongst the most vibrant, diverse and brilliant parts of London.

Anyone know anything about the Concrete Jungle people? http://concretejungle.org.uk/ They're having an Earthship Winter Circus at Dominoes Community Centre on Coldharbour Lane on Dec 1. Friend of mine wants to know if it'll be any good. :confused: I had to confess that I didn't know Brixton had an earthship. What's it all abaht?
 
Looks like they want someone to give them some free land in Brixton so that they can build an earthship community centre out of old tyres.
 
Several fire engines, police vans and ambulances at the Tesco/George IV on Brixton Hill. They are inspecting that building ( rather than the yard behind it or the tile shop)

I found the Brixton Village area to be utterly surreal.

Did you do the thing they do in scifi/fantasy films when they step through the magic portal and find themselves in another world, then take a step back to check that, yep, it's still the real world on the other side, before bravely striding forward into the unknown?

It helped a bit that I was somewhat twisted at the time. However it was a freezing Sunday and the occupants of said Village seemed to be in a complete world of their own. :)

On the weekends it's positively other worldly. I've more or less stopped going completely now.

I regard myself as a man of the world but I was open mouthed with shock. All these freezing people telling each other how civilised the Village is, whilst eating wildly overpriced food.

Covered in those little blankets. Bless.
 
A few places I have been to give out blankets on cold days. Aiming to keep people sitting/spending when you have outside seating. It is a bit daft but kinda nice.

common on the continent. Quite nice to see here IMO

(though Barbour jackets as fashion items are beyond me- I remember the days when they were what your mum forced you to wear when you were going out and it was cold and wet and you grumbled. I have a 'retro barbour'- d'you think I could sell it? :hmm:... or has the evidence of actual use devalued it, like wellies, chelsea tractors etc)
 
We went to a pub in Brixton (The Trinity I am sure) and were drinking/smoking in the garden. It was getting cold and we were given blankets, at the time our party were pleased with the development :)
 
not blanket related at all....

Where will I buy an electric saw in Brixton? Just burnt out the motor on mine (its been coming for a long time, but irritating non the less as I now have half a letterbox.).

Don't really want to go out to homebase, but have to come into Brixton anyway. (via the post office! I promise to update everyone...)
