No, because I don't have time to look back over everything from all the many previous long threads, and I don't just type out any old emotive stuff without making absolutely sure of my facts. I have a sold out benefit gig for refugees to run on Friday with a lot of work to do relating to it beforehand, and am snowed under with work relating to losing a venue. On top of many other things. I'm sure somebody will be able to respond, though given the amount of energy your group seems to be putting into this, it's hard to understand why you haven't just put your question to the council.

There are multiple threads already on the forum, all started by the Save The Woods (sic) people, from the contents of which it is clear that many other people share my viewpoint. There is absolutely no point in rehashing the same stuff over and over and over again, and I have no wish to repeat myself either. Banging one's head against a brick wall springs to mind.

People who post on here at 6.30am cause me irrational rage. How on earth are you awake at such an ungodly hour?! Or have you been awake all night??

Deffo report to police.

It's not in ED (but within walking distance) and it's not exactly hidden, but The Ivy House in Nunhead (a pleasant walk away across the Rye and through Peckham Rye park) is London's first co-operatively owned pub (I have community shares so admittedly I'm biased!). Grade 2 listed bar, great range of real ale, craft beer and wines, wood fires, reasonably priced food, lovely staff and lots going on for all ages including live music, poetry, comedy, dance, kids' activities etc. Fantastic stage with proper old stage curtains. And a sweet little garden out the back which has been massively improved since the community took over the pub :) ETA: http://www.ivyhousenunhead.com/

It's really chocolatey. They sell it at Hop Burns and Black :) Oh maybe I'm not allowed to post on this thread, sorry :))

No, it's not Mel's house but the Blue Mountain's mosaics out the front were done by the same person. There used to be two of them, but one died. I'm off my phone, now - here's the link: http://www.stephenwrightartist.co.uk/house-of-dreams.html Scroll down the home page to see some examples :) There seems to be an open day on 16 January, if that's referring to this year which I think it is. It's well worth the admission cost. ETA: If you like this sort of thing. Which I do. A lot :) I've never been a minimalist :))

:))

I think I used up my government alcohol allowance for the year at the weekend :(

There's an amazing house in Melbourne Grove called The House of Dreams. It has open days a few days a year. Very well worth seeing. I can't easily post a link as I am on my phone, but the website will come up if you google it.

It is turning its function room into a craft beer bar. Good news if you like craft beer. Bad news if you like live music.

It's pointless using facts and logic. The "Save the woods!" (which aren't woods) people are deaf to anything except their own blinkered viewpoint. Hear this now, O foolish people, Without understanding, Who have eyes and see not, And who have ears and hear not. Jeremiah 5:21

Flying saucer. Definitely. :)) I once thought I'd seen a UFO, and it turned out to be a lighthouse light reflecting off my car windscreen. Not possible in this case I guess unless the flooding has started .... ETA: Could it have BEEN a cat, with some sort of reflective collar round its neck? Or someone put one of those glo things on it for a joke?

That's great there's a direct one.

FFS why don't they put a better one in then? Very sorry to hear of this incident, but suppose it had been a murder? And they said "oh well the CCTV is very grainy so probably not much use." That's somebody's incompetence, surely. What's the point in having it there at all? It clearly wasn't a deterrent.

I love Peckham Peculiar! Look forward to it too!

I know I shouldn't laugh but .... I was just going through my Christmas cards, and came upon one with just three kisses and no name, so I have no idea who it's from. When I looked on the back, it was a charity card in aid of the Alzheimer's Society. Had they forgotten their name? I know the feeling ....

If you stop > intertwining the subjects, you may have more luck. It's also because, unfortunately, you lost credibility quite early on by using unnecessarily emotive language, giving misinformation, inventing names for things and places, and starting multiple threads all over the forum on basically the same subject. And also by telling others that they know nothing about the issues involved when quite clearly some of them do.

This is a completely separate discussion to all the other overlapping threads. Or was. ETA: Spelling police here. It's not inter-seed!
