Brixton Hatter
Home is south London mate
I don't think you've got much to worry about with my dodgy craft skills mate...my 'torch' just looks conspicuously like a spliff! I'd be amazed if my ugly mug appeared in the media anywhere before some scantily-clad lady in a bikini top!Really? Rather perpetuates the view of Brixton in the media of those who don't live here, don't you think? I've already seen a cartoon in Private Eye this week to exactly that effect which I thought was rather lazy.
Or maybe I'm just having a sense of humour failure today
I like "Dwain Chambers sold me this" though

The torch came through Tooting on Monday and I will pre-warn you, trucks of sponsors with loud music are likely to make your blood boil... Nice excuse for taking photos/videos though, especially when they sky is so blue!

I'll meet you further on up the road
am I being snippy about torch bearers?
but I looked up the lambeth torch bearers and they seemed to be people from already privileged backgrounds (who generally admittedly had used that position to help others)
although the 14 year old who lobbied Gove about her school building programme being cut and got it reinstated is quite
I suppose I expected to see people who do very unsung things to help people or people who had overcome extraordinary events in their lives
Like the guy in a cafe on commercial road (when I worked in stepney) who used to quietly and modestly feed many elderly people for free and homeless people too. No one asked him to, if wasn't part of a charity it was just him giving what he could and giving people a bit of dignity
we could have had editor running although I'm not writing his nomination!

Perhaps their multi-millionaire patrons decided that showing it off in that state may put off any prospective luxury flat buyers.WTF? It's not to my personal taste but that seems a bit OTT

I'm getting a bit anxious about missing out on stuff that I didn't think I was interested in
