I don't think the picture is the owner - she has red hair but is a lot shorter than the model. Their stuff is a bit pricey but very nice.

I'd say 30 quid plus for a beanie hat is more than a bit pricey. BUT it is the softest most beautiful beanie in the world ever

think the person behind is the person pictured

Owner here I suspect

[Mrs Magpie]

you can pull it apart enough to lift over your head, i think

You'd have to take off your specs and undo your bun, scattering hairpins I think. Or start wearing hair in a plait wound round your head like a jungfrau. Fuck that.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

...in fact it's so complicated to get over her head she's forgotten to put on a skirt or trousers.

Legs like that, I wouldn't either....

and there i was, offering the path to free drinks....only to precipitate a destruction of the owner's dress sense

AND it's handmade and ethical

 

[boohoo]

I believe they are based at the Piano House, Brighton terrace?

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

When they say, "tunes by PC" do they mean they've just put their laptop on random play?

Guest appearance by Phil Collins.

Breaking news from my little corner of Brixton- it has been all go in the soap opera opposite.

Badlands Romeo has been sighted LEAVING the twins house, waved off by both. It may have been an orgy, or that may be the Northerner projecting.

And when the twins dad came home, he was wearing a dress. He looks like Peter Falk so it was all a bit.... Unusual

The music is described as "Absurdist gypsy metal folk funk punk" so to be honest it could be any of us....

Huge house fire on Holmewood Gardens, roof has collapsed but think it's under control now. What a pisser

Sounds awful. I heard earlier that there was a fire at the Crown & Sceptre...could that have been mistaken for the same fire?

 

[Kanda]

Pretty sure the Septic is ok

 

[Brixton Hatter]

heh, inter-pub rivalry.

Having said that, I don't think I've ever been in the C&S. It's just over the border....

Ah, is that why it took us 15 minutes to go two bus stops to get to the dentist?!

No. A car had broken down in the middle of the road and the driver just sat in it till the police came with hazard lights on... doh!!

Not the one near Sainsbury's, or was that a separate incident?

 

[Kanda]

That's the one.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

That's the one.

But there were loads of other sirens so was the fire happening at the same time as broken down car?

 

[Kanda]

Pretty much yeah.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Pretty much yeah.

ah, couldn't see what was happening, so after dentist went to pub instead of Streatham

 

[nagapie]

Saw two fire engines racing up Tulse Hill at about 3

There were certainly a lot of sirens. I was at dentist by 3.30pm and sirens seemed to be flying around in every direction

New Park Road is going upmarket and getting a Mews, not just any old mews, a gated mews

 

[ajdown]

Where along New Park Road? It's a pretty long road.

After the Sultan towards the South Circular. By Sulina Road
