went to a festival there last year - it's a really lovely place - we were struggling to find a taxi at the end and the owner of the site ended up paying for our cab back to brixton, top man!
Filled with water and fuckwits....It's a fucking boat, filled with water....
Allow me to edit that: "It's a fucking boat, filled with twats...."It's a fucking boat, filled with water....
Or, even better, the jolly champers-fuelled hot tub accidentally driving under a well-laden and particularly juicy oozing sewage outfall pipe.
No one at the B£ cafe is mean to buggyists. Always a very friendly vibe. Unless you're in my seat, then you can do one.
That reminds me: I was working on a list of Brixton venues demanding full photo ID/scanning. It's fucking depressing. Off the top of my head, the Phonox, Dogstar, Prince of Wales, Electric, 414 are all insisting on full photo ID with scanning, and places like Jamm, Albert and almost every other venue asking for ID before entry (sometimes only on weekends).
Brixton Pound cafe is ace.
How dare you, Tommo Stuart Thomson says it it is "aiming to be the world's most unique experience"! Thanks Tommo, I may as well cross the Sistine Chapel and the Grand Canyon off the bucket list. And thanks for the pleonasm, you bell-end.
Just a guess but I reckon if it was up to the venue owners they wouldn't do it, but the police and/or local council authority perhaps 'encourage' all late venues to check photo ID nowadays... it seems to have become the norm everywhere.
Oh for sure: I know it was forced on to the 414 and Dogstar as a condition. Plan B/Phonox took it on themselves to start scanning IDs though. I hate having to take out ID. If you haven't got a driving licence, you've got to go around with your expensive-to-replace passport. We're turning into the US, FFS.
Yeah, that's a good point. I have a driving licence with me at all times but it must be a pain if you don't have one. Passports are easy to lose, and as you say bloody expensive to replace. Plus, if you lose 'too many' of them (don't know what the threshold might be), you might even have trouble getting replacements in the future. A colleague at work lost two in relatively quick succession and apparently was told if he lost the latest replacement he might find it far more difficult to get another, for a while at least.
You're still stuck with that troubling, "what do they do with my personal data" conundrum with ID cards though.
