Within the context of a story on the 'restaurantisation' of London's high streets, the Evening Standard has picked up on the story of the planning application by the new restaurant on Green Lanes.
They want to take a photo of a group of objectors for inclusion in the piece and are asking for local people who objected to take part.
Reporter Natasha Salmon and an ES photographer will be at the Bottom of Pemberton Road this evening at 7PM and have requested as many people as possible to make their way there. Look for someone with a camera!

This just in as a text message from the reporter:
Hi Hugh so sorry to message at short notice. I have had to go out on another job this evening and our photographer has got tied up somewhere else. We won't be able to make t along to take the picture after all. If people do attend could someone take a picture on their phone with the restaurant in the back ground? It is definitely appearing in the newspaper tomorrow. Thanks for all your help, apologies again Natasha
Pretty unprofessional. Apologies to anyone who went along
Not very long ago, the Standard would have had a list of freelances they could call to step in and take the necessary photos, with their - what's those things called? - camera. Reliable, knows how to make a crowd look not like a football team, has the right gear. Knows how to keep verticals, vertical.
May even be in the appropriate union.
Now it's, please do something with your phone. We won't pay you but you may get a photo in the paper, probably without even a byline. We're not that bothered about the quality, if it's a bit wobbly no-one will notice on a tiny phone screen.
Does Osborne turn up to work (in this one of his eight jobs) for free?
It's also pretty unprofessional for a journalist to incite people to attend what will be presented as a spontaneous demonstration. Leave that to the North Koreans.
Not sure about your quote, but mine's not quite right. I didn't wistfully dream of past glories of the high street. I was asked what shops I wanted in place of more restaurants and I referred her to what others had said online. Still, there have been worse misrepresentations, I guess.
Only online: the West End Final Extra, page 19, still has you saying "We used to have a fish shop, a book shop, a stationers but they are all gone. I do use..... all there is".
Oh, and the online comments are troll central, sigh.
