Well yes, but I would consider the flats as the same building

I imagine some squat parties don't trouble themselves with the same volume restrictions imposed on legal venues.

Don't really have any immediate neighbours to worry about but that doesn't mean the not-so-immediate neighbours can't hear the music
An assumption. Although tbf a lot of the interior has been ripped out so I wouldn't be surprised if the sound travelled more. Still, I have very little sympathy for anyone who chooses to live so close to a venue and then complains about the noise.

One of my old flat mates did that. The smoke from the burning plastic was horrendous and wrecked the whole upstairs of the flat. She was wankered and didn't even hear the alarm go off. Another flatmate had to drag her out of the room.A candle
The firebrigade came and put it out on the third floor. 10 minutes after they left it caught alight again!

I never put a candle directly onto any flammable surface. Always stick it on a saucer or similar.
Better still, use the fake ones

Street Party: July 2
Yes. But did they have a licence for the TV?

Would have been paid up for the year by landlords wouldn't it? Oh, maybe not. New residents would probably have to buy a new one. They could claim they don't watch BBC as it's full of lies

TBF the tone in the editor's quote didn't sound all that bothered by the party - more like it was a minor irritation than 'outraged of Brixton Hill.'
(So we can guess it wasn't sent by ajdown.)

Those squatters that apparently did have a party?
Maybe they were worried the hipsters might hear about it.

Oh, forgot to say.
Have squatters been evicted? I saw door open today and a man putting sheet metal over the windows

There were lots of lights on upstairs when I was driving past about midnight.
Most of the people who actually lived above the bar have moved out.

How come? Has upstairs been sold as well then?

Dunno. My friends moved out as they were worried about how the building was going to be maintained once the Music Bar people left.

Does the owner/whoever ran the Music Bar live there?

Doubt it.

There was a piece on Radio 4 this morning about supermarkets (mainly Tesco) targeting pubs - George IV was mentioned and they interviewed Andrew Child (the green party guy who ran in the by-election) and a few others.

Just to let everyone who objected know... I (a couple of days ago) received a new letter from Lambeth informing me of an application to make amendments to the front of the George IV plus the installation of car parking to the front. I have misplaced the letter and haven't time to search the Lambeth site for it now but, sounds to me like Tesco may have made a new, identical (iirc) application to the one which was refused? If so, everyone who objected first time around will need to do so again..

I got that letter too.
I've also today got 3 further letters about 3 of their applications which will be discussed at a planning meeting on 16th April, next Tuesday. Loads of notice as per.
Someone mentioned that Chuka had put something in motion about community listing or something and that this might be why they've started pushing them again.

i got the letters too - the planning department's recommendation (despite all the objections) is to GRANT PERMISSION

yeah, no fucking surprise is it?
I must have commented on and objected to hundreds and hundreds of planning applications over the years, only ever had success with about half a dozen or so. (Worth it though.)
