Peckhamgatecrasher

Paul & Rachel Chandler have been released and are safe. Apparently a ransom was paid.

Oh Judy, Judy, Judy, I live in dread if you expect me to drink whiskey. Only the real McCoy for me, old bean. I'm not a very sociable bod, but I really enjoyed last night, so thanks to everyone for a great time.

Cheers, Georgia & Mike! Jolly good time had by me. Am a little inebriated so apologies to anyone I bored. Declan, you are adorable!!

Katie - real life got in the way of real time! My liquid has dripped through the jelly bag and is now covered (where do all those fruit flies come from?) and will have to wait until tomorrow to be processed. I'll report back.

I've been musing on this one. I don't like it, but is it any different to selling a VC?

Am typing to the aroma of simmering crab apples - gorgeous! Crab Apple & Chilli Jelly Scrump 2lb of crab apples in Peckham Rye Park while avoiding over-zealous park warden Roughly chop one chilli - add to pot, seeds and all. Cover with enough water so they bob about. Bring to boil, simmer for 40 mins. Put into jelly bag and leave overnight or for as long as you can be bothered. This is a recipe in real time, so next instalment later today.

Sounds good to me.

For goodness sake Hal - these sites are run on a voluntary basis. Even with the new advertising, I doubt very much Admin will be able to draw a salary and retire from his daily job. I think this is a superb local resource (speaking as a fuzzy-fringe member). If there were a viable Peckham alternative, no doubt I would be on there, but as it is, I am using and enjoying this forum. Since there is a dedicated Nunhead Forum, it's not unreasonable for Admin to direct Nunhead users/suppliers to that one. If anything, that would dilute the number of users on this site and decrease the potential for revenue from advertisers. Nunhead Forum doesn't carry any banner advertising so there is nothing to be gained.

Plain wrong indeed.

I'v taken photos from the platform and inside - but I did ask permission first. Maybe a little courtesy smooths the wheels.

There is a service at the Dulwich Memorial on Sunday. see this thread The official Southwark Remembrance Sunday service will be held on 14 November at 10:30am at The Old Municipal Offices, 151-153 Walworth Road, SE17 There's a memorial event in Brockley & Ladywell Cemeteries tomorrow evening from 7.30pm: The unique remembrance event will see visitors walk along a lantern lit path through the cemetery alongside several WWI memorials and graves where poets, contemporary dancers, a single actor and classical musicians will be performing in silhouette. A silent film and soundscape will also be playing. In Lewisham there is a parade: War Memorial, Lewisham High Street All are welcome to attend,programmes will be handed out to all attendees. Service start at 10.55am.

Oh that's a relief - I thought it was because my computer is antedeluvian. (And that I'm a techno idiot too.)

Sob - mine aren't. Pages still ranged right and nary an ad in sight.

Zulu. Hot dead people.

Aye, aye!

Better clear the roads - DulwichMum coming through!

Sometimes this Forum is priceless! Thanks Admin.

The sponsor ads are truly annoying. I understand they want placement for their money, but perhaps they could be laid out horizontally rather than vertically?

How wonderful. Congratulations Moos Family.

Many congratulations.

I'm bored.

Sounds good to me.

Quids, don't force me to use our most eloquent chant: We 'ate West Ham and we 'ate West Ham We 'ate West Ham and we 'ate West Ham We 'ate West Ham and we 'ate West Ham We are the West Ham 'aters.

I think some of the problems at these lights come with the fact that some people don't know that if you are turning right, eg, ED Road into Rye Lane, you can enter the box and wait. Instead they hover at the edge of the box and then race over when the lights turn red, almost causing pile-ups. Some of the probs are people making illegal right turns from n.Rye Lane into ED Road - I suppose cameras at the junction would solve this one.
