No she just hasn't bothered to register a change of ownership by the look of it. Why should she, unless she is/has sold the property?

You've raised an issue now Rushy. I don't have access to the Jamaican registry of births marriages and deaths - and if it's anything like the Ghanaian one you might be able to chose your preferred name and date of birth.
Can't we settle for that quaint old-English term "it's family property"?

Its similar…. and they don't always register deaths if they take place in Jamaica. Which means that it can be difficult to track and prove ownership, as a friend found to her cost- she had a flat in Ealing, she went to sell and discovered the freeholder was dead, but wasn't recorded as dead and they couldn't trace him ever having been alive to the satisfaction of the british courts, either. And because only the freeholder can sort out some of the insurances, that lapsed too… they are three years into a court case at the moment

Yeah, fair fucks. Gotta say I was surprised they are aiming for prices that "low".

I thought market house was the local "speakeasy"?
9 quid cocktails?! Definitely should be illegal!

Street Party: July 2
Birthday treat in town revealed that, in places like Browns Hotel, cocktails cost £15 to £20. Terrifying.

bloody hell
i've got some cider and some breastmilk here, might mix 'em up and make my very own modern cocktail. I'll have to give myself an £15 IOU for the pleasure though...

that posh eatery called the Dairy in Clapham was doing something with breast milk IIRC, or they may have just been indulging in social media ironybloody hell

You aren't allowed to sell it in this country due to food safety laws and the impossibility of following the tracing etc laws.
Don't ask me why I know that

( not wishing to derail the thread but when my daughter was a baby I was pushing her down by the oval when a woman stepped in front of us and snatched the milk bottle from my daughters hands, she demanded. a five pound ransom and when it was not forthcoming she drank the lot in one and then asked for a pound for the empty)

But can't natural processes jump? Wasn't the temporary settlement of people from the Windrush in south London a 'forced' change?

That's very weird!
One of the partners at work (who is a very strange woman) gave birth to twins and couldn't breastfeed. She didn't want to use formula so investigated alternatives. She ended up using a wet nurse, bizarrely.

Hardly getting over it.
Not so much forced as inevitable - South London had more empty housing and cheap rental housing. What we saw from '48-onward was much the same impulse as what made Whitechapel a nexus for immigrants for a hundred years. People first gravitated there for the cheap accommodation, and then gravitated there because it was a nexus for their own immigrant community. It all took about 25 years for Brixton to become (at least in the mind of the media) the bastion of "West Indian"-ness they believed it to be.

Yes, but successive governments specifically encouraged West Indians to come over to Britain, and it was a deliberate decision to place the first arrivals there. I see your point about it taking about 25 years, but weren't those people just acting in response to the same drivers (affordable accommodation, people like them) that focus the hipster hive on various places in London?
Is this the reason you seem to support this new operation, while joining a protest against another very similar venture just up the street?
What's the difference?

These ones are better at PR.
Yeh, i guess so.
It's doomed to fail anyway. I lived there for years. It's kind of a little bubble. There is no way a cocktail bar will succeed. They should have done more market research. The only reason Larry stayed in business for so long wasn't his patties. There simply isnt enough passing trade for a cocktail place there. I give it 3 months.
