Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. When it come to seat, mi know what last. Share space wid three bredren, but it scratch, unusual chairs uk it creak, but it solid. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Walk through Brixton Market, you see retro sofa pile high. Dem tings not showroom clean, but dem real. When Notting Hill riot cool down, people buy furniture to last. Every spring hold laugh and cry. Man look pon we like crazy, but It creak but it strong. Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand.

Furniture change wid di street. Belgravia love polish, wid plush sofa. Camden clash colour, wid funky old frame. Dem soulless ting? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Retro sofa tell history. Call it what you like, mi always choose retro over new. When you pass market, take armchair wid scar, and let it be part of your life.
