[cuppa tee]

so I finally got chance to visit the bread and roses after its refit.
the beer selection has increased, 3 cask ales now and a good selection of lagers
inside the paint job is subdued and the seating has been reupholstered to match
both the outside areas have more seating and have been tidied up with more greenery
happy hour every evening til 7, £3.50 a pint on most pints, £3.70 for a pint of wandle at all times.
fairly quiet when I was in but was filing up.
sitting outside at the front having a puff and two yuppies stopped outside and considered coming in but moved on pronouncing it to be
" grim" so they must be doing something right......recommended

Did you go during the happy hour perchance? They advertise £3.50 per pint at this time - but do not disclose their normal price.
If their normal price is in line with Clapham generally it will be £4+ by now (would have been £3.60 maybe 2 years ago)

£455 a month for a single that's only Monday to Friday? What on earth are you smoking? I pay £200 more for a double full time, and without a live-in landlord.

I wonder what happens to your bed on Sat and Sun?

And that doesn't include bills! Adding 115-130 per month or a minimum of 1380 per year.

I have a Monday to Friday (well actually Tuesday to Friday). The room is let on the basis that at the weekend it is free for me to use which is handy if i have friends or family visiting. Sheets are changed and the room cleaned of course!!

I get that it works for some people, but I'd expect a hefty discount on the rent for that - and this room just seems the standard price for a single!

 

[sparkybird]

Well I guess the test is if it gets taken!
I'm astounded at rents these days. When I first moved to London I rented a furnished two bed maisonette with garden for £600 a month! Won't even get you a room now

Knife Restaurant

Lidl were selling industrial packs of ultra sharp kitchen knives last week.
How appropriate can you get? They must have a buying algorithm which indicates a large demand for knives amongst the youth of the area.

Anyone remember when a bar in Brixton opened up called "bang bang" - weeks after two people had been shot in the local KFC?

Here's a depressing news item. At least they caught the fucker.

A shocking video has emerged of a thug lashing out at a south London shop worker, who has been left scarred for life after being repeatedly stabbed in the violent and unprovoked attack.

At the Old Bailey today (August 10) Trevor Sinclair, of no fixed address, was convicted of attempted murder and was warned by the detective in the case to expect "a lengthy" jail term.

The court heard he launched into the attack after being denied credit in the store

Possibly. Something going on. Although it was the Mcdonald's end of Acre Lane closed with police tape just now when my partner went to Tesco?

I just found this piece of racist, anti-semitic shit pinned to a telegraph pole in my street in Clapham North. The creases are from where I screwed it up before I thought I should keep it and share it with the world.

Destroy Marxism!
* Resist the third world invasion of Europe!
* Don't let Europe be swamped with illegal migrants masquerading as refugees!
* Don't let your traitorous governments turn Europe into a third world shithole!
* Fight the Marxist subversives aiding and encouraging it!
* Don't let them cover up non-European ethnic criminal behaviour!
* Don't let the Zionists use Marxist multi-culturalism to destroy the world's diversity!
* End Zionist Jewish supremacy and racism towards white European communities - the real victims of multi-culturalism!
* Join the fight to establish white civil rights for people of European ethnic cultural identity!

Well it's a bit late to ask now

No, of course I don't mind.

I've reported it to the local Bill as well. No idea if they'll respond.

Knowing the bastards round there, they probably put it there!
