Honestly, I lived 10 minutes from Brixton tube for nearly a year and never once got offered any weed at all. Not sure whether or not to be offended.

In the early 90s I lived just around the corner from Electric Avenue. Reading your piece I almost wish I was living back there again. Nice one, DG.

Katherine: The first time I ever went to Brixton I was offered weed within 5 seconds.

Perhaps a scientific experiment needs doing? How should you act/what should you look like in order to get offered
ot offered weed in Brixton?

Quin: They did a report on the drug problem in Brixton on Radio Four's PM the other week.

The reporter was offered "skunk... weed... skunk... weed" WHILST he was conducting a live-to-air interview.

Some people won't take their Mums through Brixton. I think there's something wrong with my mother, she's more than happy to travel to Brixton Tube despite me plugging the benefits of Clapham common. I think it makes her feel alive. I insist on meeeting her these days...

Bugger, I am up against you in the Bloggies - that's really unfair (and a total suprise on my side).

Good luck dg

Loved that song, but it was your words that made me want to visit the real street.

I was offered E from a bloke biking down Railton road - a sort of "stop me and buy one" approach. All he needed was some music...

I think it was probably the business suit that did it. Damn that sensible clothing.

I expect to be offered weed every time I go to camden market... but a couple of weeks ago took the piss when I was offered 3 seconds after passing the ticket gates!
