No, as it happens. Though there are outlets which stock it. 2. Her laptop didn't pack up in Greece. 1. She wanted one and she doesn't feel the slightest need justify her choices to you, even by proxy.

She likes Brixton. She's been several times before.

That question should be on the landing card.
B. Have you ever been arrested or convicted for an offense or crime involving moral turpitude or a violation related to a controlled substance; or been arrested or convicted for two or more offenses for which the aggregate sentence to confinement was five years or more; or been a controlled substance trafficker, or are you seeking entry to engage in criminal activities?

C. Have you ever been or are you now involved in espionage or sabotage; or in terrorist activities; or genocide or between 1933 and 1945 were involved, in any way, in persecutions associated with Nazi Germany or its allies?

D. Do you intend to buy an iPad during your stay?

That vintage clothing place on Market Row is much more sensible than I expected. Interesting stock in excellent condition. I compared a couple of prices with identical things on ebay and the prices were much the same. But no shipping to pay and they have a changing room, so no gambling on things I can't fit into. :rolleyes: It's at no.38, near the Atlantic Rd entrance.

I can assure you you will be perfectly safe at the Apple store in Covent Garden.


Why can I hear fireworks? :hmm:

Because there was just some big fireworks went off. Can't tell where but they were a lot nearer than the River. Dashed to get camera but was a very short display :(

What kind of stuff?

All sorts really. They're not catering for one particular niche. There are some very ordinary things on their site www.tiquebooty.com and more interesting things in the shop if you poke about. Even some unworn vintage leather cross country women's ski boots. Completely useless really, but such good quality you can't help coveting them. And a British Rail leather driver's bag, which would be perfect for the young fogey to keep his laptop in. I'm trying not to buy it.
 
Among the usual autumn bugs going round this year in South London, there's scarletina and scarlet fever. If you get a red rash, don't assume it's measles.
 
Oh Greebs, I've had Scarlet Fever. Don't freak if you get weird fingernails or lose the skin off the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. It comes back.

Kaff is now my favourite cafe in Brixton. It's cheap, down to earth, unfussy, free from all the unpleasant aspects of Villaaaaage-ness and I've yet to see it log-jammed with 4x4 pram toting yummy mummies or meal-photographing, iPad-waving ironic types with under-employed 35mm cameras around their necks.

kaff feels a bit bare to me. I prefer the lounge. They do a good weeknight special on burgers 2 for 15 with chips and a drink... Generally i prefer to go somewhere a bit cosier though....
 
Just had a survey call on behalf of lambeth and wandsworth about my shopping habits to do with shopping improvements in the area. :hmm:

Thanks for that - at least it's coming up to the time of year when more clothes are worn anyway. Worse for it to happen while still in shorts and cami tops.
 
btw, Greebo, Scarletina and Scarlet fever are the same thing. It's quite rare since antibiotics, which thankfully are very effective. It used to carry people away in days of yore.

eta, I had it a long time ago. When I'd recovered a bit, but still in isolation, lying in bed listening to the radio (like you I couldn't read) I remember hearing Radio 1 start up :) So like I say, a long time ago.
