Brixton news, rumours and general chat

Well

if the daily mail said it it must be true!

is this the level we are at now?

They were quoting research carried out by Unicef and Domestos, you tedious dullard. The story was also covered by the BBC. Is that good enough for you?
If you wish to point out the flaws in their research, please feel free to do so, otherwise you're just dribbling out nonsense.

I was illustrating the fact that if you're going to start obsessing about hygiene on painted walls, you'll find plenty of other places that are also potentially thick with germs, like sofas and tables, for example. You are aware that many pubs have sofas, yes? And you did read that article that pointed out that they can harbour even more germs than toilet seat, yes?

So why the fuck are you suggesting I may have a fever?

Just had a read of all this.

Big Bertha is trolling Brixton Forum.

Its deliberate.

Im glad that Brixton Buzz has put out information on this serious health issue. And that Urban75 is doing some good threads on the virus which Ive found very useful.

I’ve noticed around Water Lane and the civic centre, red traffic lights have what looks like a black X, maybe with tape, with upper and lower horizontal lines.
Has anyone else seen this and know what it symbolises?

Don't forget, loads of corner shops still have plenty of stuff including bog paper, plus we get to spend locally.

I use my *corner shop a fair bit but their pasta selection leaves a little to be desired for a connoisseur such as me.

Pretty sure the bog roll’s just been nicked from the ladies in the albert, was a huge roll on the side a bit ago but just went in again and it’s gone...

Some selfish shitehawk stole the sanitiser from the wall of the Railway last night.

I was in Kings two weeks ago and had to try five sanitisers before I found one that contained anything. That was even before The Great Panic had set in.

Lots of pasta, rice and lentils though.

I was in lidl last night. All pasta gone, but plenty of rice and cous cous. What do they intend to do with all the pasta that makes it more attractive than everything else?

Can you explain the demerara sugar situation? There's none at either Stockwell or Camberwell Lidl. Or Camberwell Morrisons.
They all have the supposedly less good for you white beet sugar though.

Unfortunately I wasn’t buying any.
All the fresh and frozen food you could ever want. Milk, cheese, biscuits, tea, coffee. Just no pasta or tinned tomatoes.

I kid you not. Other half just spent nearly 2hrs queuing in Acre Lane Tesco.

Just been to Chinese supermarket on electric Avenue which is fully stocked. No paracetamol in boots however.

If anyone wants pasta I got some decent pasta from the Portuguese shop in the archs on Albert Embankment on Friday. Not that expensive.

Sainsburys in Nine Elms was sold out.

Hi Does anyone know what is the status with that office building planned to be built on the corner of Electric Lane / Electric Ave? I was just thinking did they re-apply their idea or did they drop the project after getting a no this summer?

I got the last bottle of surgical spirit in Boots (it was hiding behind something entirely different) so will be making my own hand sanitiser...

Could you do something with white spirit?

This is the last thing I heard about it:

‘Overbearing’ Brixton office development on corner of Electric Avenue and Electric Lane rejected

A proposal by Eric Parry Architects’ to plonk a hefty office block on the corner of Electric Avenue and Electric Lane has been unexpectedly rejected after Lambeth councillors decided the scheme was…

They are quite different products (denatured alcohol vs petroleum distillate). It might possibly be good at killing germs (or pretty much anything, for that matter) but it would be pretty unpleasant. I avoid getting white spirits on my skin if at all possible as it can leave you painfully dry and cracked after a single use. And it stinks.

I remember doing that a couple of times as a student. Those big rolls last for absolutely ages in a normal house. When you've got skanky housemates who never buy bog roll, its a good idea to nab one of these

 

[David Clapson]

I wonder which pubs and clubs will close down. Coffee shops too.

 

[BusLanes]

It's going to be a bloodbath in the hospitality sector in Brixton and the north of the borough what with rents.
