Wanna buy a Record Shop?
Remember those, Daddio?
“If you’re at the stage in your life when you don’t have to worry about making money but can live the bohemian life, meet interesting people every day and the occasional pop or rock star, here’s your chance to take over the oldest record shop in the centre of Swinging London.”
“The stretch of the Northern Line between Tooting Bec and Stockwell stations is the busiest and most crowded on the entire Underground network during the morning peak.”
Finding relief on the Transpontine stretch of the Misery Line with @DaveHill.
The Clap’ham Squeeze soon becomes the Stockwell Stretch [YEAH] as the Bright Young Things of Bal’ham head towards the West End via the Victoria Line.
I like to celebrate the Stockwel Stretch. It was this exact sense of overcrowding back in the day that first led me towards the love of the bicycle.
Stockwell to KX via the Victoria Line was no fun. Rolling out along the Albert Embankment, crossing at Waterloo and then taking a chance along Chancery Lane and into Grays Inn Road was a wonderful way to start the working day.
The TfL initiative of “using whiteboard notices [SIGH], in-station announcements, leaflets, posters and targeted emails” sounds a little like a mere shuffling of the pack.
Meanwhile CS7 will take you all the way from… Bal’ham to the City.
“Thanks to the dedication of Tesco, Lambeth Council and Councillor Lib Peck amongst others, there was no need to mothball this famous and historic ice hockey club nor the associated clubs that needed ice to survive.”
A sanguine - but also fairly accurate - appraisal of the Skins’ time at the Temporary Streatham Ice Rink.
