What's it like to live in Brixton / Brixton Borders

i know i always travel with an australian flag stitched on my backpack. saves A LOT of hawkwardness when soliciting ladyboys in thailand.

Fauxsers?

you wouldn't want to stitch a zebra farmer patch on your bag. everyone'd think you were a baddie in an action movie

Oh behave. I said supported their *right *to strike. If I felt strongly enough about their plight to make the statement that I supported the strike then I would have joined the boycott and not gone.

But I weighed it up and decided that on balance I didn't feel that their complaint was worth my not playing three songs in the upstairs bar for no money last night. If it's alright with you I'd like to be able to disagree without resorting to snarky sarcasm. Cheers.

Fair enough, I misread your post.

As for the snarky sarcasm, I've only got one gear.

Talking of which, there's a new twinspok in town!

A brakless, chicken feet pedalling man who I only ever see going up and down Railton Road.

That's Double Spok PK Ripper Dude, he's awesome...

Speaking of which: Snowy: DO YOU WANT THESE JEANS?

Anyone around for Splash today? We're gonna go down for a little looksie before it gets too crazy... Probably gonna wind up at Le Effra...

Nearby garden centres? Manky B&Q on the OKR is jokez. Looking mostly for herbs and a couple of architectural plants.

columbia road. it's murder the later you leave it but it can't be topped for sweet planty dealz.

Hoxton? This is the Brixton fread, innit?

There is a herb stall in the food market on Station Row pretty much every Sunday

Wandsworth B&Q is much better and has a Homebase directly opposite too

as rascale says wandsworth road b&q and homebase, just off the wandsworth roundabout are good, there is another homebase on the wandsworth road, heading back towards clapham junction which does have a decent plant selection as well...

There's a garden centre on Croxted Road

That is what I needed. Thanks!

^ it's nice, but it ain't cheap.

Seconded

There's a nice little garden centre next to North Dulwich Station at the top of Half Moon Lane.

Also there is one by battersea rise on the edge of wandsworth common

There's one in West Norwood, behind the Sainsburys Local. #wn4l

Speaking of West Norwood, has anyone else been to the new leisure centre? I went last night - good: it's all new and nice; bad: it's £4.20 for a swim, only 2 lanes open, lockers cost a quid and the staff don't seem to know what they're doing just yet. Still, exciting times in WeNo.

The best garden centre, by a mile, is the one behind Sainsbury's in crystal palace. Really excellent and good value. Free parking in sainos as well.

5 quid for a banana plant we had to put the seats down for to get in the boot of the car at CRFM.

no bananas yet.
