You should nick that roll of police tape by the bicycle. Hours of fun to be had by putting tape across the front doors of friends and relatives and waiting for them to get home.

can you get to the coop i want some pizza and cider

 

[Fingers]

Yes. I am rubber necking outside whilst my smalls spin at the laundrette. Big problems lifting it without ripping it apart

All traffic was being diverted up Palace Road. In the past I was calling for Palace on to Probyn to be illegal when coming from Leigham Vale, but it must be a special diversionary route.

That must be why Cllrs Liz Atkins, Lib Peck, and Val Shawcross AM all ignored my emails.

 

[Fingers]

Second failed attempt

 

[Cartoon Man]

Lucky it didn't fall into the bookies.

What were the odds on that happening, eh?

 

[colacubes]

Thanks for the reporting on the ground Fingers

Just been to the COOP. It is back on its wheels now but pretty battered

How many coop trips have you made today?! Are you wearing different clothes every time to ensure you're really going undercover?

Ha. Only one. The on the spot reporting was due to me waiting for my smalls to spin in the launderette. Upright photo coming up shortly

Fucked truck

 

[Fingers]

Looking out of my living room window it appears to still be there

Talking to some truck geek on the scene (he had come all the way over from Epping) it fell over because it was badly loaded. I could not really argue with his superior knowledge.

My mum must be a truck geek, she said the same thing.

The old house on christchurch / Palace Road corner was where author Dennis Wheatley lived as a lad, penning James Bond type tales. The house itself was really quite beautiful, but sadly derelict. I think Streatham Society were trying to protect it as a place of interest / get it listed. The developer grew tired of waiting and a fire started entirely accidently in the middle of the afternoon in the middle of the empty house. And a unique, beautiful building went up in a major blaze. Now crap flats for half a mil each.

You and I have been here before!

It still looks like traffic is being diverted up Palace Road.

Do you know what they were carrying? It could be expensive if the entire load has to be scrapped.

Some of the shit that fell out when they nearly ripped it in two looked like clothing

My boiler broke down making for a pretty unpleasant couple of days. Sorry - should have reported that

You'll all be pleased to hear it got fixed this morning and I am now showered and warm again.

Five trees were felled on my street during the storm, but for some reason I decided to report it in the general Brixton thread. Shame on me, really...

These guys are just up the road and were brilliant. You can call and make an appointment now as they're 24 hour.

Emergency Plumbers, Electricians & Heating Experts in London - The Hamilton Group

They were here at 10.30 this morning after I called at 9pm last night and the bloke who came round was professional and a really nice guy. I don't know how their prices compare to other companies or solo operators, but it was money well spent as I didn't get dicked about.

Hope you get it sorted.

ETA: apparently not the cheapest but I was quite happy paying to get it sorted quickly and easily.
