Coldharbour Lane, Brixton - news and updates

The beginning of the end of it being an affordable stretch of shops serving the local community. We've already got one cocktail bar and an expensive pizza place catering to Village tourists, and the place that replaced George the barber charges about three times as much.

How much does the new barber charge?

Here's their menu. Blue Peacock | Price List
Colour correction, whatever that means, starts from a very reasonable ..£150.
But anyway, this is not a barbershop, it's "a boutique hair salon decorated in a rustic al fresco style, providing a personalised service for women and men in a stylish setting": They're not there to serve the same clientele but a new one.
 
You're a bit of a mystery SpamMisery, unless your name kind of says it all.*
If there are two sides in this 'argument' about where our local area is headed then no question about it you're on the winning side, you'll enjoy yourself more and more as the shops that aren't any use to you make way for the kind of things you like. It just seems unnecessary to gloat over it in such a way.

*ah, i just clicked on you and it says "his posts are deliberate windups". So that's ok then.

Eh? I asked what the new barber was charging. It wasn't a barber. End of discussion.
Can't you read? I said "the place that REPLACED the barber", not "the new barber," although the new place does cut men's hair for £35 upwards (subject to an additional £10 for thick or long hair). George charged £8. So that's over four times as much to get a haircut.

I'm putting you on mutual ignore because as your own profile explains, you're only here to try and wind up people, disrupt threads with crass stupidity and act like a dick, just like you're doing here. You might want to take a look at the FAQ about the last bit too.

Hardly unreasonable to assume it's a barber based on your original post.

And that profile thing is a quote from Gramsci you tit. No different to you using "maudlin night owl"
 
Whats the inappropriate content? I won't learn otherwise
You're on mutual ignore, as you have been told and can clearly see. So you don't comment on, or reference my posts. As well you know. End of discussion. If you want to argue the toss take it to the mods forum where maybe a mod will be interested enough to respond.
 
Anyway bimble, after that bizarre diversion, he who must not be named or interacted with has answered the question. Was £8, now starts at £35
I wonder what you get for £35. Aromatic scents, healing oils etc?

AFAIK at the genuine "BARBERS" round here you get a hair cut for £8 or maybe even less - but you have to put up with a monotonous ear-bending regarding immigration, the evils of Lambeth Council's corruption and other assorted topics which verge from the UKIP to the BNP - and that seems to be universal from what I hear (on here).

Newton Ventures women's back room offers excellent chat, high quality local gossip and philosophical musings. Recommended.
 
Or if you don't want to do that you can pop down the road to alfreds for a £7 haircut. Go to spoons for a pint for £2.50 and grab some nutritious chicken at any number of purveyors of reasonably priced fried poultry.

Ps I think you are using regale wrongly
 
There really is no lack of cheap barbers in the area and I have nothing against a fancy hairdresser in amongst them. Some people, even sone poor people, like to splash out on a haircut/style.

I'm a cheap crop kinda guy....whereas my kid likes to go to that hairdressers opposite The Abert and pay £20 for his bieberesque barnet....despite the fact that he is on minimum wage.

Works as a verb no:
Regale in luxury in one of the UK's most deprived wards!
Provide abundant food or drink in luxury in one of the UK's most deprived wards!
Don't see the problem

I wouldn't have a problem with be regaled with luxury...

But original still sounds wrong but you have convinced me it could be a possibility.

Yes - make the poor people "get on their bikes" ( (c) Tory cunt Norman Tebbit) and make them go further and further away for their shopping and services. They can enjoy the ride past all the local shops they can no longer afford!
