Nothing wrong with Argos. They've won design awards and sell all manor of great things...don't tell me you've not been excited when opening up the lamenated book for dreams.

No.
There was a fight between some women in the greasy spoon next to b & q. Cops were called. Not quite end of days yet.

It's been there for ages. Bon Velo has opened since.

This was posted on the Friends Of West Norwood libary page on Facebook on Sept 14:
"FOWNL attended a Steering Group meeting for the Nettlefold Library/cinema project last night. Everyone very upbeat about work starting soon. For some reason we're sworn to secrecy on the details, but expect announcements in the next few weeks."

Since I was last up on Knights Hill by the Great North Wood, I notice there are now two recently opened beer shops.
The Good Drinker and also a branch of Art & Craft (next to Pintadera) who are also in Streatham. Both very decent and friendly places with lots of local beers and a load of other stuff too.
I've just liberated a very nice selection of fruity pale ales [emoji4]
Also had lunch at Pintadera yesterday, first time I'd been in. Had a great Gorgonzola ciabatta. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Will def be going up there again soon [emoji1360]

my mum, who lives in West Norwood, was talking to the big florists down by the church - owner said that trade was down and rents were rising. And that "the new crowd in West Norwood" don't buy as much as flowers as the people they've replaced. It'd be a shame if the long term businesses on the high street begin to get priced out, Brixton mark II!

Yes, it really would.
Who are this 'new crowd'? What is their demographical make up?
I know quite a few people who moved from flats in Herne Hill to get houses in Tulse Hill and West Norwood once they had kids. I'm not not saying it's just them like.

Fuck it, it's fine.
I get flowers from them every anniversary (they did our wedding bouquet) and we bought our Xmas tree from them too.
But I'm a proper salt of the earth type and have lived here for years. Not like some people.

I am a recent interloper (just over a year). In that time I've had 2 Xmas trees, my wedding bouquet and numerous other purchases from there

I have no idea tbh. That's what she said. It has gone slightly more upmarket, but its still a great town Imo.

There are a lot of young renters appearing locally.....
The amount of exposed ankles is certainly on the increase. Wax jackets and beards too. I sense a disturbance in the force.

They don't have time to look after anything but their own selfish whims....
