Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. Furniture? Chairs, sofa, dem tings?. Mi live top floor above de shop, but dat sofa hold story. But mi tell you, retro piece worth more than gold. Walk through Brixton Market, you see retro sofa pile high. Not new outta box, http://www.sofasdirect.com but dem real. Long time before internet, people buy furniture to last. Retro keep history alive. We drag it on trolley all di way Brixton, but Beer spill, children jump, reggae shake wall.
Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy. Postcode tell story too. Kensington love velvet, wid velvet accent chair. Camden clash colour, wid funky old frame. Modern flat-pack? Dem got no memory. Vintage chair carry life. Call it what you like, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. If you tink to buy quick, stop an look round, and let it shout London and Jamaica both.
