Palm tree

Where is everyone's heart? Doesn't the bit that makes you think you are on "holiday" make your heart skip a little bit?


Maybe not - maybe "F*** it - make it a 36" raised concrete circle to better facilitate traffic" - nothing says "ahhh - back in Dulwich like a 36" raised concrete circle"

Yup, but it will get lonely and may pine (palm?) for more of its mates with him.

The row of Palm trees and yukkas on the Peckham stretch sometimes look a bit badly kept.

They're tough trees, but they do need a bit of tending to since they are not in their natural habitat.

I hope they develop a healthy defence against car fumes.

They remind me of holidays too. Your post is right and appropriate SmG!

As I can't afford a holiday at present - no, I'd prefer not to be reminded of places outside ED or indeed the UK :))

People are not necessarily moaning or being cynical just because they say they don't like something, different folfs/different strokes and all that. I've not even noticed it when I've been by yet, but frankly a palm tree would have been pretty low on my list.


I also worry how long it will last before getting kicked down by some friendly drunken soul.

I think any friendly drunken soul's entire foot would be in plaster for weeks if they tried to kick that palm tree down.

In some areas of London like Edmonton there are arches across the roads either side welcoming people to the area. I am in two minds about this: I think it's nice the council is trying to be (on behalf of its residents) welcoming, but yet it is unnecessary as the area (and the people in other words) should speak for themselves and be friendly and welconing!


Anyway, I love the palm trees in Peckham and East Dulwich, and Yukkas, and if I was boss I would turn the traffic lights junction of top of Barry Road / Lordship lane to a roundabout and put a palm tree on that, too.


A new thread looms....

Never seen such a ridiculous spectacle in all my life. I think it would be more at home in Kew than round here, in fact how about somewhere in the Caribbean or Pacific? What an utter waste of my council tax. I have a crap waste dispoal service, the police and other public services are rarely if ever used (and if they are they turn out to be not very helpful). I think this thing should be put back in it's rightful home and a statue of me should be erected on the roundabout, I might be a little less p*ssed off about how wasteful this council is then!

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
