What was Adam dressed as? TheNortherner probably gave him sweets without knowing who it was!

Dracula. And he was with 2 other boys who were sharing a Dracula outfit, one got the cape and the other got the waistcoat etc but they both had some sort of mask.

They got tricked at one house. A woman offered them broccoli or brussel sprouts. Being 3,4 and 5 they didn't understand the trick and thought in a confused manner for a while before deciding on broccoli. She gave them sweets in the end.

Upper Tulse Hill. We look up to you

But we're below Upper Tulse Hill.

 

[leanderman]

But we're below Upper Tulse Hill.

We need more designations, like Tulse Hill East.

Apparently we are getting a special impartial moderator for this month's thread and I am excited to find out who it will be.

Oh dear. Prepare for disappointment.

 

[Onket]

Over-promise, under-deliver.

(yawn)

Meanwhile i'm hearing reports a lad in a balaclava was seen on a motorbike going through Granville Arcade earlier. Heard a helicopter really low in the centre.

Happened across the Rent In Brixton twitter @RMrentBRixton too, some crazy prices on there

Yeah, had to move out of the way of that motorbike in the arcade today, and he WAS fleeing from police. Saw a young man with helmet pass through about 10 minutes later, looking really mean and pissed off . Never a dull day....

Those fuckers really listen to legitimate requests. The censoring bastards.

Or one of the cheapest, fully featured smartphones you can buy. Not sure where you're getting 'non mainstream' from either. It's expected to sell well.

It's around half the price of an iPhone, and, of course, is fairly affordable if bought on a contract.

Huge police presence on Upper tulse hill atm - seem to be raiding one of the large old houses

Tales on Moon Lane is re opening tomorrow- looks to be completely refitted, and the windows are gorgeous. nagapie not sure if you still need kids' presents

There's an article about Brixton in the Lifestyle section of the FT tomorrow. Curiously their photo of Brixton Village features "exotic foods", not C + F. Very balanced article in my view. The link is behind a registration wall - those not wishing to register will no doubt find it via Google by searching under "Brixton FT" or some such: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/4655a078-3c98-11e3-a8c4-00144feab7de.html#axzz2jRExzqHu
They quote a Barratts spokesman saying that Brixton Square was sold 80% to owner occupiers, 20% to buy to let - all UK based. Estate agent KFH is quoted as saying that people now want to live in Brixton as a preference - not as a form of "Value Clapham" as in previous years.

Was in Morleys today where I re-learnt the truth that you should not take kids to buy gifts for other kids. It was very demanding.
