Administrator,Local sushi restaurant rec?
stellakis posted a topic in General ED Issues / Gossip,
Hi all, can anyone recommend a great place to get Sushi locally (a restaurant or place where you can dine in). After the closing of AONE in Peckham we need an alternative… hoping to find somewhere to celebrate my son’s bday. Thank you!

Wagtails on Lordship Lane
Cancerian posted a topic in The Lounge,
Just up from the co-op, going towards Goose Green, a wagtail bird was flitting about on the pavement. It wasn’t worried about people walking along and then another one joined it and both flew over to a cake shop pecking at crumbs.
Never seen one before and was nice to observe.

Street trees: when is it time to call time ?
ed_pete posted a topic in General ED Issues / Gossip,
Just walked back from DV to Lordship Lane and wandered through the estate on EDG. There's a tree surgeon pruning the trees there (council funded for sure) and it just seems a bit bizarre as the stumps that are left are far from attractive. I would that thought that replacement was what was really needed here. Appreciate that funds are tight but really is there not a better option ?

Joe,Local fundraiser for family of Akif Mushtaq
Jellybeanz posted a topic in The Lounge,
Good morning everyone,
I wanted to share a crowdfunder link - funds to go to Akif Mushtaq's family - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/akif-mushtaq-rip---fundraising-for-his-family
I have personally lived in the area for almost 25 years now and have known the brothers who run the dry cleaners for almost that long.
As some of you may be aware, very tragically Akif - of East Dulwich Dry Cleaners (family business on Lordship Lane near the post office) - was horrifically killed by a dangerous dog a few weeks ago.
https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/dulwich-in-shock-after-owner-of-lovely-family-business-dies-in-tragic-dog-attack/
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7ve32ejqp1o
It was a huge shock for me so I just cannot comprehend what his family are feeling right now. Akif had young children who will be left without a father. He was such a lovely man, always smiling and good humoured - joking about how good his wife's cooking was and how he had gained some weight. We always had a laugh and he was never in a bad mood whenever I popped in.
As it was so sudden and shocking, I think the main thing that the family may need is financial help to get cover whilst they keep the business open but also take some time off to grieve.
As a gesture of support I wanted to set up a Crowdfunder, so if anyone would like to donate it is here:
Please spread the word to anyone who uses the business or who knows the Mushtaq family.
Very best wishes

Weird shapes in the sky Dulwich Village
chuff posted a topic in General ED Issues / Gossip,
Did anyone see weird lights in Dulwich Village approx 45 minutes ago? They were at the junction of Woodwarde and Calton Avenue.
They moved like bubbles but the close up photos look even stranger. Will try to upload some here.
No idea what it was, wondering if it could be a drone?

Administrator,Humming noise Camberwell Grove / DKH area
Rokit2022 posted a topic in General ED Issues / Gossip,
There is an intermittent deep sound hum noise (last a few seconds) every 10 minutes or so, in the Camberwell Grove / Grove Hill / DKH area. Audible at night.
Does anyone know where it is coming from, or what’s causing it? Thought it might be rail works but its regularity seems unlikely.

Is this a scam?! Keylock safe appears to be installed in my house out of nowhere
Daniel_CR17 posted a topic in General ED Issues / Gossip,
I live in Landcroft Rd. I came back from work yesterday and someone had installed a new keylock safe outside my door? (you can see the dust on the floor, newly installed)
I own our house and we have not ordered this. I've asked the neighbours and it wasnt them either.
I called the company and they said they dont do installations. What should I do?

Joe,Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?
Spartacus posted a topic in The Lounge,
In 2022, Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng delivered what was seen as a disastrous budget by the markets and it is claimed they crashed the economy.
Rachel Reeves appears to be going after farmers, Pensioners, pension pots and increasing NI for employers, which whilst not taxing "working people" will see prices going up to cover the costs for already squeezed businesses, all this whilst changing how the government fiscal rules work.
The change of administration in the States may impact our exports to them (potential tarrifs) which also may see growth stall slightly.
Will her gamble work or will we as individuals and a nation see stagnation in growth as businesses reduce investment whilst prices go up.
With the farmers protest planned on Tuesday 19th, it is starting to feel like the bad old days of the winter of discontent (1978/79) again.
Whilst investment is needed to help the country grow, are we in danger of not supporting the businesses and people who normally are responsible for growth?
Discuss.

Joe,Dirty pool, Dulwich Leisure Centre
ctovey posted a topic in General ED Issues / Gossip,
Just back from a swim at Dulwich Leisure Centre. Whilst in the pool, we saw the lobby outside the family changing room being washed, The person doing the cleaning then washed the mats taken from the family changing room and then put them in the pool, laying them on the steps!!!. Not only was this dangerous - they were laid on the top step in such a way that they overlapped the step - when we got out there was a load of grit on the top step where they were taken out.
