Yeah I get that and a fair point - just suspect they were being sarky and accusing me of being ‘woke’. Perhaps am over thinking - seemed a strange way to make the point if genuine.

he lives somewhere round by me, I see him quite often but was not aware of his talent.

This chap is often outside Tesco, his calligraphy looks impressive from a distance. I've been intrigued to speak to him on occasion but feel he would rather be left alone to do his thing.

...my limited experience of the guy makes me to think he’s not the chatty type, that said a few people have said I look intimidating

Do you have his permission to post his photo here? - seems a bit rude to intrude on his privacy and discuss him in this way - perhaps you should delete the photo.

...that’s a interesting take, I get the thing about privacy but it looks like the guy is not ashamed to pursue his craft in public, tbh I see this guy quite often and had to check twice to be sure it was him, and at least the poster is giving props rather than being judgemental or reductionist... anyway nuff precedents have been set on this board regarding street photography so why would this example be out of order....

Yes - I get the feeling he'd rather be left alone
I think the precedents depend entirely on who posts it would seem. One rule for one and one for another.
To answer your question - no I didn't ask him.
and no I won't delete it.

What rules are these and how are they enforced here, exactly?

...in fact this is a good point, slightly mitigated by the fact the gentleman in question isn’t immediately recognisable and also this board doesn’t have the reach of other popular platforms like Brixton buzz, twitter or instagram....

Wouldn't it just be nice to appreciate the local eccentric gentleman without debating whether he would mind it happening?

Lots of Harley Davidsons chugging about this morning, this might signal the return oof the massive bike run that used to pass thru Brixton on this weekend pre covid, I hope so it was quite a spectacle , if they’re coming you’ll probably hear them before you see them....

Anyone tried the cafe at the new Brixton Theatre? Is it only for the theatre crowd or is it sort the place to meet for coffee?

It's open to anyone but doesn't seem busy at all in the daytimes. I'll give it a go soon and report back.

I cant find anything online re cafe opening hours - I'm want to see if its somewhere I can visit at lunch times or in the afternoon.

It's definitely open in the afternoons - I'll try and see if I can find the times when I walk past next time.

I read that, maybe a funeral was a part of it, and there were angels in the group...but it was an annual event before covid, I saw it many times, Mother’s Day weekend...

Disgusting coffee from a vending machine, not an espresso machine.
I did think they could have been a bit more thankful about stopping pedestrians crossing at Brixton for 10mins but hey, hells angels
