Oh wow! You know my real name. How clever. Here's the rules (which you already know):
Explain your point please. And explain why you thought it would be a good idea to post up my real name.
Tebbit was not referring to getting on your bike to get a cheap hair cut.
He was talking about getting on your bike and getting a job
That, my friend, is a fact!

Why did you post up my name? What point were you trying to make?
Erm, it's hardly a secret is it?
[removed] is not much of a pseudonym is it?

I don't use that name here, neither does it offer a reasonable excuse for you posting it up in a thread about Coldharbour Lane. Take two days off because I'm not going to see this thread trashed by your antics.

Brixton Hill
I went there - feckin' useless. Mind you the guy two doors down wasn't much better (although cheaper). My side parting is in all sorts of bother.

I think you are referring to Alfreds in Coldharbour Lane at Camberwell.
It no longer exists unfortunately. The only barber whose small talk I actually found eccentrically exiting "I am from Transylvania, like Dracula!" etc.
He also snipped one's nose hairs - the only one who ever offer that service.
Seems to me that Alfred must have retired or died 2/3 years ago. His shop was empty for a while, but is now remodelled and no longer a barber.

Is that the one opposite Cost Cutter?
I've always been hesitant about going to a black hair dresser because I assume they would do a Number 1, 2 or 0 and not deal with thinning, layering etc that I've normally had.
Machine trimming my hair is a step too far. Grey and baroque I may be, but better that than skin headed or tonsured!

Newton Ventures is the one on the corner of CHL and Luxor street, kind of just opposite the Co-op, yellow signage.
I went in for a proper 'do' that the internet would probably call culturally appropriative (it involved 5 bags of fake nylon hair and about 3 hours of skilled twisting), which is how come I know that the standard of chat in there is excellent. . But take courage, honestly, my neighbour goes to Newtons too for a £5.99 careful conservative trim and he's from 5 generations of Dorking.

Sure looks that way. I'm not sure when South London hi-fi (left) closed though.
Given its proximity to the land of Champagne & Fromage, I wonder when some twat will start describing it as the East Village.

That'll be the new name for Loughborough Junction in a little while.

Now that we have two Third Wave coffee shops and a juice bar I expect the hill will be Brixton Heights or maybe that is the fate that awaits New Park Road.

You'll have much changed view as the planning application has gone in for the flats to be built on the bus park behind
editor

Yep. You can ever get enough gated luxury flats here.

Street Party: July 2
It used to be called The Pavement - a street name still visible in old lettering high up on one corner building.

Were you lot - editor in particular - aware that of the three public comments on this, all are IN FAVOUR!

The consultation deadline is technically past.
Looks like this one was targeted by Lambeth to fly in under the radar like a cruise missile. Where were the notices posted on the street? Definitely not outside Jimmy's!

That smacks of someone with a vested interest in the development. Surely no one else would write like that?
