Dulwich dweller

Get well soon!

Thanks for clearing that up. Facts become opinions when one can't be bothered to find the truth or don't like the truth. It's pointless trying to converse with you because you can't be bothered when challenged. You just brush stuff aside and plead ignorance. And if you can't be bothered to read things that you deam to be too long then what's the point in the first place. I won't be responding g to anymore of your wind ups or posts.

Is that a fact or an opinion?

Thanks for taking the time to post this 👍👍 You've got some front to comment on sniping. Most of your posts are nasty snipes. I've just read one on the thread about roadworks. In two fotted as usual.

You may want to not jump on a post that is clearly tounge in cheek. It actually made me smile because they have a point re the the roadworks. So far they have been knowhere near the pain that the recent closure on Peckam Rye/ East Dulwich Road caused. It did keep me fit though cause it was pointless getting a bus from the Gardens to Rye Lane. So I walked it daily. I got caught once and it took 15 minutes just to reach the Nigel Road stop.

What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn--- What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit? I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword. Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time. Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.

The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost We're pretty much a centrist bunch. It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour? What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.

It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.

Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government. One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029. Another one that must think people are blind and stupid. Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃

Someone else other than the tories? They fleeced our country,left us In the brown stuff and got annihilated in the last election as a result of that. In my opinion they're part of the problem and not a solution.

In my opinion and experience when debating with him it's because he's a muck stirrer, disingenuous, dismissive ,evasive, condescending and selective with regards to answering quoted posts. It's almost like he's trolling for attention and to agitate.

On Grove vale. Seems to be closed now for a couple of weeks. No signs up or any notice of leaving if they indeed have. Was a decent option and consistent

Many decades ago I worked just outside Heathrow on roadworks. Seeing and hearing Concord take off overhard was something else. We couldn't hear our Jack hammers for the noise of the jets. It was also an awesome sight being so close and directly underneath it.

Not to worry.

There is a phone number that you can call if you need more Info. I'm fairly sure that I've been served later than 10 am but that was over a year ago.

I never said it was. BHF were used as some sort of work experience scheme. Because I know the brand and where they're sold. Depends who the designer is and how you want to define designer. Primark design jeans as do Armani. I mentioned the price I never mentioned the brand.

My MP was helpful when we were forgotten about in the Gardens/ Kelmore grove for weeks on end. That was a few months back. After the service getting back to regular deliveries for a month or two it has now gone backwards again. Our postman said that our round is being adversely affected again due to a shortage of staff.. They deliver parcels daily but not letters. Time to have another email with my MP I think. Ellie Reeves was very helpful the last time we were left without deliveries. She actually visited Highshore Road sorting office and took them to task after myself and other residents contacted her office.

The shops are only obliged to give 1% of there profits to their designated charity. The rest can be used for ' overheads ' and managers salary which are decent. Most staff other than managers are unpaid volunteers. In BHF's case they were using people forced to volunteer or otherwise have their benefits stopped. As for valuing items there is a website especially for that purpose. I somehow doubt charging £35 for an item that cost £40 when new will be in that online book/ directory. But yeah it's Dulwich and if you can't afford things go elsewhere. I stopped my regular visits to the Brixton branch of BHF after I offered support/ help to a volunteer who was clearly going through withdrawals and was visibly distressed. She informed me that she was a crack addict and had various mental health issues. She was forced to volunteer for BFH or be sanctioned by the benefits people. Disgusting. I have never entered one of their outlets since. It's a shitty industry in many ways is the charity sector but not if you're making a crust from it.

Do they pay rent? Volunteers generally staff these places bar the manager. It's amazing how 99% of charity shops manage to exist. I mean the ones that shift the same donated brand for under £10. They were covered in gold, diamonds and made especially for a lucky bargain hunter willing to pay near full price for secondhand goods. I mean vintage, up cycled retro etc etc.

They wanted £35 for a pair of used jeans a few weeks ago. It's definitely not a charity shop going by the price of things.

Let the moderators ďecide that. You just carrying on sniping from the sides.

Of course they do. Have said before that unless there's regular incidents of criminality or serious breaches of H&S then nothing will prevent it from going ahead. Noise and the odd report of antisocial behaviour carries no weight. The consultation is just a box ticking exercise as is the PR team used to fob people off. Waged bullshitters destined for a career as estate agents. The council work in partnership with the event organisers and not with their tax paying residents. It's why the organisers get away with what they do and pay lip service to concerned residents and their responsibilities regarding, clean up, maintenance and reinstating. Gala is a low risk event and that suits the council and old bill. Unless it out grows itself I can't see it going away anytime soon. You'd be less annoyed if the council just said bugger you we need the money and that's that. All the cobblers about sustainability, green this green that, local community, consultation, stake holders, blah blah blah. Its cobblers and insulting to the good people of our community.

There are safety issues because of mobile phones being used in cars. They are a distraction. I have no answer to your to your scenario but I don't think ending up in a ditch is as common as motorists using their phones for one reason or another. How often to you see ditches in London / big cities?

Meaning it's not much use if you're based up Lordship Lane direction and not on its route in Dulwich. The station being almost the last bit Dulwich that it serves. The direction of travel I had in mind was from Nunhead Lane where the 78 stops near the 484 stop on the Rye and heads. towards East Dulwich Station.

Forgive me if I have misunderstood you, but the 47 doesn't seem to be much help as a step in the journey to get to East Dulwich from London Bridge Yes you've misunderstood. I didn't suggest you use the 47. I'm aware of that. It has to get to ED station some how
