Ah, so that's what's in there. Heard clonkings and seen the lights on at odd hours while waiting for the bus on Gresham Road and always wondered.

I went there six months ago for a jumble sale and he's done an awful lot of work since then.
 
The old florist opposite the White Horse doesn't seem to be opening a deli as rumoured, looks like an upmarket junk shop. £900 painting in the window
 
Just got an email from a big PR company who look after multi-national brands asking if I'd be interesting in covering "foodie openings" in Brixton.

:hmm:

Beyond belief. FFS. Do these people in Labour party think its clever saying this? Have they even looked at this report into drugs policy?

Whatever ever happened to "evidence based policy" and "doing what works"? Both very Nu Labour both tand so both something Lambeth Labour should support.

Do u know which Labour Cllr it was?

In other news, I got my first milk delivery yesterday. It didn't get nicked and it comes in a proper bottle!

Yeah, join the milk club! I love having a milkman. He also delivers loads of other stuff like cheese, juice, garden compost etc and the fact he comes about 6am means I don't have to stumble to the shop first thing partly dressed :)
 
Everywhere I've lived in London the milk would last about ten seconds on the doorstep before some passing oik would 'alf-inch it.

where I used to live it occasionally got nicked (my place was on a route where loads of schoolkids walked every morning) but the milkman started to stick it behind the front wall where it couldn't be seen. If you phone the company up and tell them it got nicked they will usually credit your account. I live even closer to central Brixton now and it's never been nicked yet....getting up early to get it helps though ;)

Has anyone booked The Albert for Christmas Day yet?

OMG.

OMG OMG.
 
I reckon the Beehive will have a veggie option, *and* undercut the Albert. Nut cutlet for £29.95 - with all the trimmings.

Need to work out what time mine comes. I left the house yesterday at 06.45 and no sign so the milk was sat out all day. Not so much of a problem in the winter but wouldn't want to do that in the summer.

Slightly worrying if the "brands" are moving in.

Maybe it's smaller brands using big league PR but there certainly are some very big names on their client list.

Sadly, I think the presence of more and more big name brands in Brixton is inevitable.

That's what hendo said would happen, but so far so good. The veg box never got nicked tbf, and I've had boxes of books left on the doorstep before. The BT router, however, got nicked immediately. :D
 
When we had the smackheads living on our floor in the Barrier Block and the busy crack house below, it would have been easier to tell the milkman just to hand it to them directly!

We have had nothing nicked... and one deliveryman left two cases of champagne for a party on the front doorstep in plain sight :facepalm:
One of the reasons I am loving SW2 so much more than SW9 :D
