Well, whoever is making the decision that pedestrians' lives are of so little consequence - I would not like to have to live with their conscience when the inevitable accident happens.

Thanks are also due to Enzo (hope I've spelled your name right, Enzo) who supplied the electricity for the bands! Several of the original organisers of the Crystal Palace Road/Ulverscroft Road (as the roads are so close to each other, we have been alternating the party location each year) street party have moved or are moving out of the area. The core group is becoming more and more depleted, with consequently the pre-party preparation (it starts months before) falling on just a few shoulders this year, all already busy people. If you live on Crystal Palace Road or Ulverscroft Road (or adjoining roads) and you'd like to see this annual event continue and blossom, please consider volunteering to help - the more volunteers there are, the less for each one to do! You can PM civilservant via the forum.

Oh dear oh dear. Leaf it alone!

Bleurgh. I'll stop feeling pissed off that the birds ate all my strawberries, then :))

Thanks for that, I will do.

Well I've just talked to some workmen working at the back of the house nearest to the tree, and one of them said that he had chopped it down. Gave me his name but wouldn't say what company he was working for (or possibly did not understand, or possibly the others told him not to say. They were not speaking English but appeared to understand me). Does anybody know whether the council is still pursuing this? Because at the very least, somebody should be paying for the work involved for the council to remove the branches left lying on the pavement and road, remove the remaining stump, and replant the tree. Though I personally think whoever is responsible for this vandalism should be fined. A lot. ETA: I did try to phone the council this afternoon, but after waiting over five minutes for somebody to answer the phone, I gave up. It's Friday. Did they all go home at 3pm???

Thanks all :)

That question has been asked on the forum before. And answered, if memory serves :)) There are, apparently, actually people who provide this service.

Yeh thanks hpsaucey, I just looked up the bus timetable and had reluctantly decided it had to be the trains ....... hpsaucey Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Please God DO NOT go the bus route unless the > trains are completely screwed up.

OK I've tried Google Sky Map but I still can't find them in the actual sky :)) And yes I know I've missed the date when they were closest together :( They are supposed to be just above the horizon around 10.30 ish but not sure they ever get much above it. Where in East Dulwich or thereabouts will I be able to see them? Presumably where they're not hidden by loads of f-ing buildings?? Or indeed clouds. GRRRRRRR

Thanks both! Yes I'd much rather go on the bus but I'm worried about traffic and missing it. Will see whether I get up in time to get the bus :))

I have to be at the V&A for 9.45 tomorrow morning. Since I retired that's like the crack of dawn to me! Is it best to get train to Victoria from Denmark Hill then district line and if so what time should I get train? Going to Alexander McQueen exhibition hooray! :) ETA: wondering if I should allow extra time for rush hour etc??
