Does the 133 stop near Brixton Mosque?

Ah, no worries I found it.

Anyone know anything about Hobofest? Some sort of music thing happening in Brockwell Park on Saturday...

Nothing apart from what was on the poster.

 

[Onket]

Hobo is American for tramp, isn't it?

What's on the poster?

 

[Orang Utan]

American isn't a language

 

[clandestino]

The poets roads are in Herne Hill? I always thought they were in Brixton.

There's a linky here but it's not very descriptive.

Quite surprised by the Herne Hill boundaries on the ward map...and very surprised to learn that all of Brockwell Park is in Herne Hill...http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/2722BEAC-FA85-4AB1-BB39-9A51502D1164/0/HerneHillWardMap.pdf

Herne Hill is in Brixton

Herne Hill is in Brixton

Haha! Is this is a bit like your bonkers Tulse Hill doesn't exist theory?

 

[Orang Utan]

I suppose it is related. Tulse Hill does exist though. It's a hill in Brixton.

What about the bit by Tulse Hill station?

 

[teuchter]

Remind me not to go to House of Hen.com if I ever want a map designed.

There was a serious incident at the corner of Coldharbour Lane and Electric Avenue that required the assistance of several police cars and ambulances tonight at around 12.30am.

I saw a young black lad being tended to by paramedics before being tenderly taken into an ambulance which sped off towards Kings. I hope he's OK.

That is not in Brixton.

I'm not really sure who gains anything from this photo being posted.

I'm even less sure who gains from your pointless little dig.

 

[Orang Utan]

That is not in Brixton.

Yes it is. Brixton goes up to West Norwood.

American English doesn't exist either. See above.

 

[EastEnder]

Herne Hill is in Brixton

Technically, I suppose it is. In much the same way Croydon is "in" London.

American English does exist though.

 

[Orang Utan]

Croydon is in London. Even officially. It's a London Borough.

So what point were you trying to make earlier?!

That American isn't a language. Neither is American English.
You could argue that it is a dialect, but certainly not a language.

 

[Onket]

I didn't argue that it's anything.

You seem to want to argue something, though?!

 

[RubyToogood]

Is it cloudy down there? It's currently misty and sunny up here on Mount Crystopolis, which usually means that the fog climbs the hill during the morning and it ends up grey.
