You're right, the music made it, that's what's missing from the normal Saturday market. They have music (in various forms) every week at the Herne Hill market which is amazing... Come on East Dulwich!! 🎵

I was a little disappointed with the shops on LL not really getting in to the spirit of it all - a few balloons here and there and St Christopher's Hospice with a stall outside trying to capture passersby,who clearly had more important, non charitable things on their mind (given the look on some people's face), attention.

I thought the whole day was meant to be focused on ED community and traders not just NCR... shame.

I spent all day with those wonderful ladies, hilarious isn't the word {I was their steward} !! Children were either amazed or terrified but the brilliant folk that were out and about were fantastic. I'm at a meeting with the Council Events team on Wednesday so any comments can/will be passed on-- good or bad

I think it wasn't advertised very well as it did actually go up lordship lane right to captured on the rye on pellet road by the patch which was the magnolia ! They were spin painting and I had my jams and jelly stall and we had carol singers etc and also push studio had a Christmas market open yesterday . Nothing to say apart from abit on the back of a flyer that they were on . Shame

The stalls were great down NCR but the music was just too loud for me. Something gentle in the background is lovely but my head was splitting by the time we'd walked the full length. Shame, my purse came home a lot fuller than it would have done if the decibels were a few less. Perhaps we were there at the wrong time.

I didn't know anything about a market at Push studios - would have gone if I'd known.

I went down on the off chance to have a pre Christmas browse to get me in the spirit. Wonderfully organised, if somewhat too loud for me. I too would have stayed longer had it not been so crowded and painfully ear drum ringing. Nevermind, can't please everyone.

I was so gutted to miss this, especially Chris Shaw and The Rye Ranters Rip-roaring Barn Dance Band.


I heard his melodeon drifting down North Cross Road as I walked to the station on my way to - ironically - a melodeon class :(

I was at Football Millwall..


Would love to of seen Chris Shaw... Lovely man.. have not seen him for many many years...


Chris playing his Melodeon whilst standing up... Doing both at the same time can be a bit tricky :)


As compensation Millwall won, beating The Current FA Cup holders Wigan Athletic 2-1.

There were some cool elderly bearded people playing a weird english folk/sea shanty music. They were really good but struggled to get the mainly white, affluent middle class crowd to get dancing. I reckon if I'd had some more of that plum cider I would have been up for busting some moves.

Well, it was fun joining in with the dancing (at last I discover the true advantage of being stoney broke!)

    • The alternative would be to let them free, to be predated on and without parents to teach them the necessities of survival. Clearly this is an unhelpful model of instruction, but, given the ducklings have been born and will not survive without parental care (unless they are hand reared in the school - which I doubt has the capacity of skill for this) then gassing them is the most 'humane' action. The school should perhaps have thought through what is the likely outcome for ducklings which are not being reared by either skilled farmers or ducks. I suspect that the duckings would not be saleable to farmers having been initially born and raised in circumstances which were not sterile for introduction into larger flocks. 
    • That's a good idea smiley blue , if you or anyone else comes across petitions to end these despicable acts of cruelty to defenceless animals please put on here or start a new thread if you please so we can sign the petition and add our objections to this , I would also like to thank all of you the people for reading these messages and adding your voices to this cruelty,  maybe we can end it 
    • Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.
