Just have egg chips and beans then, with a mug of sugary tea.

Sems has Cypriot / med breakfast too so you can skip the meat and still eat well. It’s a real good place.

It's now got booth seating which is even better; I guess they brought that in during Covid regs.This is SEM. I must go again soon.
Lunch at the Sem Cafe, Padfield Rd near Loughborough Junction
Tucked away around the back of Loughborough Junction is the Sem Cafe, a traditional greasy spoon with Turkish-Cypriot roots that remains popular with cab drivers and local workers.www.brixtonbuzz.com

I failed to get my Windows 98 PC collected by the bin men at 6am today Seems a couple of weeks ago I had a stroke of luck when they rook away the CRT screen.
I had misremembered the latest council recycling encyclical.
We DO take laptops, VCR, curlers, sandwich makers, printers
We DO NOT take TVs, Desktop PCs, Vacuum cleaners
in short they do take anything you could take to Currys or Argos for recycling - but not the cumbersome bastards which would embarrass you on the bus to the back of West Norwood cemetery (or Wandsworth Smugglers Way if one was dead keen and wanted to take in a change of bus as well).
Anyone know of a resting place for a dead PC in LJ?

In other LJ news, I fear that in the co-op the cheese incident of 2016 has resurfaced as it once again seems to smell awful in there, something that along with their haphazard approach to keeping the shelves stocked, is pushing me across the road to the Nisa more often.

The NISA is great. Lovely staff, good range, and always stocked well. I don't know if the Coop care any more.....?

Which is odd as Nisa is owned by the Co-op

Just looked that up and it is owned by Coop. Thing that puts me off Nisa is that if I buy Coop products in Nisa I don't get my Coop member points.

Nice staff in LJ Coop. I use it as it's got a Paypoint. Unlike Nisa across the road.
I use the Coop in Brixton road as it's which is better stocked.
LJ Coop is also good for the drinkers. As putting couple of bottles of wine under coat and legging it straight out the shop is pretty straight forward. Unlike the Brixton road shop.

if you are referring to the co-op opposite the crown and anchor then i'd guess that you use it at busier times than i do because the grab and flee style of booze shopping is very common in there when staffing and security is minimal.
bad for the staff who get a lot of aggression both verbal, and occassionally physical.

Anyone have any comment on the closure of the Michael Tippett school?
This was a facility for seriously disabled children and young people - in a "listable" modern building in Heron Road.
www.building.co.uk
Same architect as the London Eye, the Brighton i360 and the Cambridge Mosque.
I know nothing about the place - but their Twitter account liked my musing about Tippett's "Symphony of Youth" project in Brockwell Park 1939 on the eve of WW2.
Now they seem to have been OFSTEDed out of existance - one reason being a member of staff took students to McDonalds as part of "life skills"
They also had another site in Thornton Ward, which had previously belonged to West Lambeth Health Authority (now absorbed by SLAM).
What will happen to the Marks Barfield award-winning building - and to Anfield Close, Weir Road SW12? More mental health facilities up for redevelopment like Lambeth Hospital maybe?

Michael Tippett school: Wilful disobedience
Marks Barfield's Michael Tippett school - London's first Building Schools for the Future project - succeeds by ignoring many of the guidelines on both design and procurement. There's probably a lesson in that, reckons Martin Spring

While Ofsted judgements should definitely not be the only measure of a school, you have to be a special kind of shit to be failing severely disabled children for as long as this school has. Shameful.
Lambeth is pretty poor generally when it comes to specialist Sen schools but this is particularly bad.

I never understood what the Tippett connection was - unless part of the ethos was using muisc as therapy.
Pity to lose the Tippett connection though - he was a Jungian Marxist or a Marxist Jungian who worked at Morley College for a while. Very Lambeth actually.

Life is a horizontal fall.
Does anyone know if or when the post office is going to be open in the Best One shop?
I fear we're going to lose it.

I was trying to find press on the 1985 Stockwell Murder Mile panic (responding to the Brixton thread) when this item popped up concerning a woman last seen at the Loughborough Hotel in 1989.
www.edp24.co.uk
I remember the case - lots of witness appeals at the time and still apparently unsolved
Not long before was Michael Lupo the serial killer who frequented Brixton's Prince of Wales and the Coleherne.
Maybe meeting people in pubs is actually LESS dangerous these days - especially with the advent of CCTV etc?

I see 'OPEN ONE BED' is code for studio flat.

If I bought that as an empty shell of a studio and fitted it out like that I'd be well pleased with myself for that design. I want to be fair and say they've made good use of the space. But it was them who decided that should be the Sq footage to fit the stuff in, and them who chose to call it an open one bed instead of a studio and them who decided that was worth £1700 a month. plus £200 bills.
