Brixton news, rumours and general chat - Sept 2013

[editor]

I have built it up too much. Now it is just in the fridge mocking me.

Might save it for the opening of the Winterval forum.

It has no best before / use by date so I might save it for my 500k post. If I die of hops poisoning then I will sue the brewer and use the money to buy the Brixton Spud-U-Like franchise

If all goes well we'll have another batch for sale in the about 5 weeks. The Coldharbour Courage was by far the most popular choice - it sold out in 20 minutes!

I forgot to take one home myself - all I've got in my fridge is a solitary bottle of Effra Gold.

The office Xmas party is looming again. Any Brixton restaurant suggestions for a small group, something reasonably festive at late lunchtime?

The Trinity or the Crown and Anchor

Trinity is a good call. C&A was vetoed for some reason, can't remember.

 

[cuppa tee]

The Crown and Anchor does not open until 4pm weekdays

Lounge? Kaff?

Too casual I think.

 

[RubyToogood]

And actually Trinity website says kitchen doesn't open till 4.

We are not going to the Albert. Too dangerous.

The Arlinford Road gate house to Brockwell Park is for the demolition ball - it is being reinstated to parkland.

I feel neutral about it but reckon there must have been a better use for what looks like a structurally ok building.

I've always wondered who lives in there.

 

[leanderman]

Notices went up months ago. What are they waiting for?

I guess the problem in terms of keeping it in place was that it is inside the park, which creates access and security problems.

I was chatting outside the building to a contractor tendering on the work - he was not sure but reckoned 6 weeks.

 

[editor]

Just passed a bloke with full Ziggy Stardust make up being filmed posing with his 'axe' next to one of the graffiti-style shutters in Brixton Village.

No, I didn't take a picture.

They should just announce that it is going to be a new Foxtons branch, and watch as it gets demolished.

Don't joke. The entrance lodge to Battersea Park is now a Pendletons or some such like.
