I can't believe two cars ended up on their roof in virtually the same place and at virtually the same time. Many moons ago I filmed a (acted) incident. When shown it later, people's subsequent descriptions of it and the people involved varied widely.

We were talking recently to a lady who said she used to be one of the gardeners in that park. She said those geese had stolen the nesting site from another pair of birds. I think it was moorhens. The moorhens had to start again :(

Exactly. And I don't intend to stop :)) But I'm definitely more aware of mopeds and scooters now. And btw it was the other end of Goose Green from where the OP was :)

http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1812444 I presume this is the same incident?

WTF? Are we talking Pok?mon Go??? ETA: No clearly not because that's not Just London .....

Since seeing this and similar posts on here I've become really aware of mopeds and scooters driving around the back roads especially :( Is their M.O. generally to snatch your mobile out of your hand then immediately drive off? Because if so that might be slightly easier to avoid than a confrontational mugging? I've never been worried walking round here, but I've definitely recently got warier :(

Surely if everyone goes down there picking the herbs, there will be nothing left for others to enjoy? Surely a community garden of this kind is to look at, not to strip the the plants??

Very very sorry to hear that.

And me.

I thought the parking mentioned at the meeting was referring to the staff's own cars (they can drive to work and park in Sylvester Road, but won't be able to in Peckham). I don't recall that there was any mention at all of lack of parking for Royal Mail vehicles.

Thanks for posting. I found it interesting, so I expect other people will too.

So the pavement outside the railings at the green's boundary? I walk on Goose Green a lot, so obviously this is worrying, but slightly less worrying than if they were taking mopeds onto the green itself.

Sorry to hear this. Was that actually on Goose Green itself, ie on the path, or on the road/pavement adjoining it?

It doesn't address the distance issue or lack of parking for ED customers at all, does it? Yes they are consulting the unions but the feeling I got from the UCW rep at the meeting was that many of the posties are not that bothered about moving to Peckham, because the working conditions in the Sylvester Road building are so bad. What I would like to know is what if any other options they are actually considering. But I haven't written to her yet :(

Amac thanks so much for this thread. We went to Shoreham on the train on Sunday and did the circular walk. Bluebells, fantastic views, great ale at the George Inn - Old Peculier on draught- and a fantastic roast lunch for just under a tenner! Then we wandered round the village and saw Samuel Palmer's house etc. We had a lovely walk and a lovely day and we will deffo try out the other walks! ETA: And the bluebells were proper bluebells, not those big Spanish (?) things :)

What is the figure of eight walk??

Greedy bastards :(

Link??

No doubt in future she will make sure to find a credible house number that she can say she is from ....

:))

Not just in East Dulwich. We walked to the Square and Compass in Worth Matravers (Dorset) a week or so back, with family, including kids. Just off the cliff path. Lovely old pub with a hatch for a bar, a strange fossil museum attached, and equally lovely green space in front for the kids to run about and the adults to sit and drink ale and eat pasties. Except - the grass was full of dog sh*t. All over the place. Due to the many many dogs, with owners who clearly weren't watching what their dogs were doing. Literally. No bin for said sh*t. Parents trying to keep their kids from running/walking/crawling in said sh*t. Which reminds me, I meant to write to the pub. Yes the dog owners are to blame, but surely the pub could at least provide a bin and maybe bags? It was disgusting.
