Red, Mad and Bad

Driving past the previously rather derelict looking HQ of Vauxhall Constituency Labour Party in Kennington Road yesterday, I was intrigued to see it is now a new gardening shop. It's name? Cue drumroll ... "RED MADDER"! At least they wouldn't have needed to submit a change of use application...

A gardening shop in Kennington?

It'll be bust in a month

Oh Old Holborn you are a cynic lol. Mind you, when I worked in Kennington (at least visited because my HQ was there) back in the early 70s I don't remember seeing many gardens then - things may have changed.

Oh come on guys, some bits of Kennington are pretty expensive - with elegant tucked away gardens at the rear of those nice Georgian terraces. And it's the proximity to Westminster which supports the land values. That said, you do need to get Banhams in (in a very big way) to avoid the unofficial redistribution of wealth.

I know it's off topic Iain, but please indulge me...

If you're on facebook and like me, you think it outrageous that a SCROTUM like ted kennedy should be knighted, please join this facebook group:
