Thanks, but we're not actually in it! Had we been prices would be higher tho. Because it's more desirable than SE20 apparently.

Dunno if the houses and transport links are as good.The prosaic answer.
A lot of truth to that. Lots of nice houses and a tube station. Same is true of Wood Green, though, and it hasn't gone through the roof like Brixton. The extent to which Brixton has changed has to do with a little more than that, no?

Was thinking about boohoo saying about branding.
The ES piece says this is independent shop supplied by independent family producers. The emphasis according to there website is against mass production and for artisan production.
One review I read said there shops are like going into a French village. There own website talks of "rustic" fare.
The brand incorporates aspects of counter culture/ green politics . Such as opposing mass production. Supporting small is beautiful ethos.
In reality it is like Marie Antoinette "farm" where she played at living the simple rural life.
C&F is example of how capitalism incorporate oppositional politics. The brand is exclusive high end product. It is an example of successful niche marketing. There are those with disposable income in London who can buy into this slice of fantasy rural rustic life.

On a taxonomic point, anyone who suggests that there are "yummy mummies" in Brixton demonstrates their ignorance. If you want to see YMs, go to Abbeville Road, East Dulwich or Northcote Road. Their appearance and behaviour is quite different to those whose appearance in Brixton has given rise to complaints - i.e. young, predominantly single people with some money to spare to have a good time. Hipsters, if you must. However, it may just be a matter of time.
There is only one narrow road from wood green into the centre and it is really nightmarish. You can't get a nightbus back from there to anywhere easily.

I really don't get this abuse of women with babies. Omg how dare they go out with their pushchairs and there babies and socialise during the day. Stay at home ffs out of our way.
Declaring an interest - I'm an occasional not very yummy daddy btw. I take my baby son to a cafe for a coffee and a sausage sarnie. I bet I wouldn't get shit like this. It really annoys me for some reason.

"Yummy mummy is a slang term used in the United Kingdom to describe young, attractive and wealthy mothers" - Wikipedia
So if you're not wealthy you are not being got at. I actually think it's more class than wealth.

Nah bollocks it's used by people who get fucked off with pushchairs and children in their favourite cafes.
It's an easy lazy slur
ETA anyway don't want to derail this thread any further so will stfu on this aspect now. I've got it off my chest, been bugging me for ages on here

Any morning in south ken, Notting hill etc you could imagine you were in Manilla. Filipino 'staff' cleaning, child minding, dog walking etc.
