Not been to Negril for a long while, since they stopped doing lunchtimes. Was great food. Terrible service if you were in a rush.

Took a friend a few weeks back and really wanted to enjoy it but the food was terribly dry. That said, I recommended it to a friend who was visiting Brixton and they loved it.
 
they seem to be chasing the large group booking dorrah, which means getting a quiet table for two with any semblance of decent service is pretty remote on a night when its rammed - still, best chicken in town by a long shot. A walk in / counter take away sounds like a top idea.


best dressed chicken in town? mm, not sure about that mself but glad they're opening one so near to me
 
Hypothetical question...

If you saw the good Christians outside the Christians help centre and book shop dumping loads of litter on the pavement and road, and happened to film it... What should you do as a good atheist?
Light a fire?

What's a dorrah? I've googled it and am still none the wiser. Sounds like a useful word. Bit like doodah but more exotic.

Filming them probably means you already made your mind up.

Report them.
 
Petty local resident :facepalm:

It is that Love School shit that has been all over town of late. Flyers littered all over the shop made my teeth itch but tonight they were kicking loads plastic and other rubbish into the pavement and having a good laugh about it.

It may be my dislike for the holier than thou deluded pricks that made me accidently film it....

Should I 'forgive my neighbour' this discretion?

I've risked upbraiding local litter louts four times.

Twice it was motorists opening their car doors to drop bags of rubbish in the middle of Josephine Avenue. They understood my objection.

The other two attempts - on Rush Common and in Tulse Hill - ended with fierce and frank exchanges of views.
 
One of the Market Row traders told me recently got a £80 fine for dropping a fag end on the pavement. Can't remember where, might not have been Lambeth.
 
Dear Every Fucking Estate Agent in Brixton and Clapham

Please stop sending me letters EVERY FUCKING DAY asking me if I want to sell my house or rent it to your "new corporate clients" who are "queuing up for similar properties in the area". For one, I do not own my house (and, actually, it's a flat) and two, even if I did, I wouldn't sell it to you parasitical cunts. Next time your letters come through my door they will be returned to your office WITH FIRE.

Yours
Brixton Hatter

Jay Rayner is getting all moist on Twitter about the Brindisa chain coming to Brixton.
it should be said that Brindisa is an exceptionally local business, having been founded and based literally a mile or so south
I guess he means "exceptionally local" as 'only bothering to open a branch in Brixton once the area's been suitably gentrified for their upmarket tastes.'
 
Is that the place next to Braza's?

If so I've seen it open on a few occasions (mainly Thursday and Friday nights I think), but have never been in.

Edit: What is Brindisa replacing by the way?

Whatever was at 41-43 Brixton Station Road. I imagine their presence will put increased rental pressure on other smaller businesses nearby as the area is "improved."

I think it's Atlantic Road rather than Brixton Station Rd. It looks to be one of the beauty shops.
 
Having looked at Streetview I take it they'll be in one or more of the units in the railway arches?

From memory not all of them are currently in use commercially (ie, a couple look like lock-ups or similar).

Edit: Yeah Colacubes that would make more sense in my opinion.
