Champagne & Fromage opening in Brixton soon

[Badgers]

I hope the protesters don't discover that the Albert sells champagne!

Hush now

P.S. The Albert also sells Stoup

 

[Thimble Queen]

Even if that entails a little bit of racism?

Genuine question: where have they been racist?

 

[TruXta]

Genuine question: where have they been racist?

Not they, but one member reportedly went on a racist rant in the Grosvenor.

 

[snowy_again]

even this response when they changed the name?
"this is not an attack on disabled/crippled people, a misuse of language maybe, accept our most humble apologies and join us"

yup, they may have changed the name, but they use the phrase often in the comments below.

It reads more like 'save me for a k-hole' than 'save a community'

 

[rutabowa]

yup, they may have changed the name

changed the name and humbly apologised. the phrase "emotional cripple" is in really common use, bad as that may be, at least they listened and realised and changed.

... which i find really difficult almost impossible to believe having known the guy for quite some time.

This conversation has been done to death. Beyond death even.

Ah ok. Hadn't heard about that. Don't know the story/was there so it'd be unfair of me to comment. Btw not asking for details

No more Offline gigs there

It is cheap
It is shit
Nobody buys it

 

[Onket]

I'm all for a bit of a laugh and a street party, but seriously does anyone (or rather, should anyone) give a flying fuck if a new business in a market already full of joints offering food and drink is going to be selling champagne? I mean... really???

I'm infinitely more bothered by the myriad of chain corporations selling mobile phones, clothes and groceries, the loan shark shops and the appalling junk food outlets, whether independent or franchises that comprise the overwhelming majority of shops in Brixton than I'm ever going to be by a small business offering a drink that happens to be associated with rich folk. Good fucking luck to them as far as I'm concerned.

*awaits the storm*

I'm almost with you.

I will be going down there to tell anyone with trousers tighter than mine to get the fuck out of Brixton, they are part of the fucking problem.

I will be wearing Nike trainers.

I would say it also seems a bit unfair to even bring up as a comment (almost as a matter of fact 'statement of fact') if it is from that other thread.

There's only Benson Shoe on the High St, not sure if they do trainers. You might be better off in Brixton or Croydon.

If you go to Croydon you can hurl some passing oaths at the BNP tomorrow.

 

[TruXta]

There's a thread on them somewhere, it's all in there.

it'd make a nice change for them to actually be in the vicinity when i'm swearing at them...
