How much will you want and when will you want to collect? I will have to install it in an electrified cage till you come to claim it as thats the only thing that will keep the cabbage from stealing it.

Lots of people with mobility difficulties complained about that fencing-off fiasco. Lambeth promised they wouldn't do it again. We shall see.

This. Do they not use buses in North London?
They're a strange bunch, them that lives on the wrong side of the river.

Hurrah! More likelihood that the cider will last until Sunday lunchtime with none of these "scrumpy tourists" coming to Brixton.
It takes about 20-25 mins on the Vic line Finsbury park to Brixton. It takes a lot longer and more faffing getting Piccadilly and Northern, then a bus. I know it is possible, but its a harder sell. I know I am less inclined to go in the other direction to visit them when its not running.

I think of them more as vegetable animal tourists.

Bizarre.
Chill out Onket, I'm sure my friends laziness won't spoil your enjoyment of the fair.
You're missing the point though, closing the nearest tube for the whole weekend of it makes it harder to attract people in general from other bits of London, especially those who've not been before and don't know how good it is. I'd imagine its one of the biggest events that happens here in terms of people travelling to Brixton from other bits of London and you'd think that could be taken into account when planning when to have the weekend closures. Though to be fair it probably is, and just doesn't rate as highly as Arsenal playing at home etc.

Okay, the bus takes longer and can be horribly hot, but IMHO no good reason to miss the Lambeth Country Show. Agreed, people who haven't been before probably wouldn't think it worth the journey. First few years in the area, I didn't think it was worth crossing the park for what sounded like just another local fete.
Lure them with tales of gourmet bacon rolls & cider (and general randomness). The 2, 3,or 68'll get your friends most of the way there in under an hour even from north London, even with roadworks. Herne Hill (in theory, step free) overground's v close to the main entrance - shame you can't use PAYG oysters on it yet.
Although the show is trailed in the SLP, AFAIK it's not advertised in the Evening Standard or in the what's on bits of any of the national papers. People won't turn up if they don't know about it.

Agree with all of that Greebo, you're preaching to the converted here. I live a short walk away and will be going anyway, so really the publc transport thing doesn't even affect me directly, probably just getting a bit tired of the ongoing closures in general.
The only point I was really trying to make, perhaps not that clearly, is that the Vic line being closed that weekend is not ideal, and if they must close it for entire weekends I'd prefer it to be a different one rather than the one weekend when a fairly major free event is going on in Brixton, and there is an extra influx of people toing and froing from here.
Anyway, as you were, can we get back to talking about vegetable animals and 'hold an owl' now?

And the 19th is 'The Big Lunch' which they've just started advertising on the telly. Wonder if that will effect attendance...
