Baby moorhens in Dulwich Park :)

I believe most charity shops will take things like that as rags? I've taken bags of clothes not good enough to resell to the hospice shop, clearly marked as rags.

We did think it was rather a grand house! He is one of my favourite artists :)

Some good points are made on this thread: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1814620 Although it seems (and of course is) worrying, the situation is not much different than it has always been in London. We hear about it more now because of forums like this, and other media.

The Flying Pig were supposed to be changing to a sports TV oriented pub, might they have it?

The Castle used to show the boxing didn't it? Has it stopped?

Is this the person who has all the camper vans parked in the road opposite Rye Books?

Hope they catch the bastard. ETA: Just seen this http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1814225

Isn't there a difference between getting a report on genetic heritage and finding out whether or not two specific people are related? I'd have thought the former would be more complicated, more expensive, and done by commercial companies? Sorry crossed post with above.

Thanks James, I just did the survey, it was useful.

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??
