I used to have a Canon non-digital SLR. I used a Canon-compatible Tamron zoom lens, can't remember the exact spec, 35 - 200? That's probably showing my ignorance! It was reasonably light and easy to carry, very versatile, and took excellent pictures of people, landscapes etc when I went travelling. It was also very reasonably priced. ETA: And I only needed to carry one lens so didn't need to keep changing over lenses.

But I remember an identical picture a few years back - anyone else? Is someone regurgitating (:) ) old photos, or has a pigeon made the same mistake twice?

Could you copy and paste the article here, elloriac?

Well the people who are doing the actual delivering (or not doing it) are not the HQ managers who are trying to provide a reasonable service, are they? ETA: And Royal Mail is a separate company to Parcelforce.

There is a Sikh temple there. There is no Sikh festival today as far as I can see from googling, so it may have been a wedding.

And nor will anybody going to the Phoenix! They went down a storm at the fair on Goose Green which was part of the Dulwich Festival earlier in the year.

Don't know whether he's usually there - I think it was a Saturday night. The other time I went there was live music, but there was hardly anyone else there apart from us, although the music was good (Dan Maitland).

If you > want iceland it should be in peckham not here > please xxxxxxx Is this a joke? A friend of the OP perhaps? I like Iceland, and it's been on Lordship Lane for years, previously as Bejam, so if you don't like it why didn't you move somewhere that doesn't have one? It was here first!

The date of Diwali varies - like Easter. This year it happens to be on 5 November.

No, we certainly won't ever reach Utopia if people don't speak out about things they see as wrong, particularly when those things potentially affect other people.

I think we should club together to get Tarot a burka :))

Anybody who describes women as "females", as you do in your first post, has a problem, imho. Glad you've met some "truly inspirational" people through this forum who have "shared stories of joy and also pain" with you - care to share also who they were? And why the jibe about people with an "empty life" posting on here? What is an empty life, exactly?? Why are you looking for people whose lodgers attacked them?! Who has the empty life here?!

Tarot, why do you bother?

The immediate responsibility would seem to lie with the US soldier who threw the grenade which killed her (if that's true). If you're going to go beyond that, it's a bit like identifying what is the "ultimate cause" - how far back do you go?
