Champagne & Fromage opening in Brixton soon

[el-ahrairah]

Have you fallen foul of the cut-off date for Real Brixton citizenship?

i hope not. i've been here since 2005. that isn't great, but it still allows me to sneer at anyone who moved here since 2006.

Not good enough. You better start packing before the hipster police comes to get you.

As documented in the A-Z of gentrification:

R: Recently arrived complaining about the even more recently arrived.

 

[Ms T]

It's my 20th Brixton anniversary in September.

That means I can afford to live in a house and have enough money left over for Champers in BV, which I persist in calling Granville Arcade.

*proud*

 

[el-ahrairah]

Some say 'Brixton' is an attitude not a date of arrival.

i met the new chap in my house last night. he reckons he's an old brixtonite because he moved here "before it was fashionable". he means 2011. he works in finance and plays rugby and thinks brixton is super cool and much better than islington which is like rilly rilly boring these days ya.

i think this is the brixton attitude now.

i am packing. Penge or Anarley, here i come!

 

[TruXta]

We've got a spare room. Are you handy with a strimmer?

Quite a large chunk of long-time Brixton friends who have been priced out by the wealthy incomers have reluctantly moved to Hastings. Maybe they're all giving it large Brixton-style around the sea front

Why Hastings in particular? Local ties, cheap as chips?

Cheap housing I think was the compelling factor.

2006. Does that mean I get in under the wire or get lynched?!

Not proper Brixtonz

Local ties as well in fairness.

is that a euphemism?

 

[TruXta]

is that a euphemism?

No.

 

[el-ahrairah]

i like Hastings. it's a bit Old-Brixton-By-Sea. i think it's because there's lots of smack there.

 

[el-ahrairah]

No.

Then the answer is No. sorry.

 

[TruXta]

Then the answer is No. sorry.

That's OK.

What did I do wrong? Did I say something? Was it the lobster surprise under your pillow? TALK TO ME!!!! xxx

2006 too, which clearly isn't good enough.

However, helped conceive first child after a big night at the Duke of Edinbugh in 2004. Does that help?

POIDH

theres always been dulwichites and clapahmites in brixton with this attitude (not saying there aren't more these days)

 

[el-ahrairah]

That's OK.

it's not you, it's me.

no, wait. it is you. surprise lobsters are never ok.

was the child conceived IN the Duke Of Edinburgh?

typing that made me feel yukky.

I have thought that it'd make for a very naught place for a quickie. In the beer garden that is.

 

[el-ahrairah]

in one's beer garden?

That's an accident waiting to happen right there.

 

[pissflaps]

looks like it already has. either that or that nice lady has pissed herself.

 

[Winot]

Food looks lush.

 

[pissflaps]

does it come with chips?

 

[Ms T]

Food looks lush.

If you provide the champers, I can make that round my house easy. Most of it is just shopping. The sourdough will be homemade.
