hello! no i didn't i am afraid. they said it was a good idea but nothing ever happened and i didn't chase it up. i would offer to play you however i am leaving the country in two weeks so probably not much point! good luck in getting something sorted though!

thanks!

Hello I am looking to buy a new camera but there's so many on the market i was hoping for some advice. I was looking at the panasonic lumix gx7 as a friend has it and the photos are amazing, but ideally i would want something a little smaller and lighter which takes the same quality pictures. does such a thing exist, and if so, is it under ?500? not too fussed about being able to change lenses - as long as the camera can take excellent landscape, night time and moving shots. any advice greatly appreciated. thanks all!

Hello - afraid I have nothing to do with the petition or application other than I saw it on the CLF webpage and wanted to share - Peckham's fast becoming a highly gentrified area to (in my personal opinion) its detriment. All the blurb I posted was from the CLF website

Hi all Saw this and it made me very sad - if you've ever had a good night out in Peckham or seen something amazing at the CLF Theatre, or you just don't think 'luxury' flats in the centre of Peckham are a good idea, please sign the petition here : https://www.change.org/p/shanali-counsell-southwark-planning-object-to-plans-for-housing-development-at-133-rye-lane-gateway-to-the-bussey-building?recruiter=187238481&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink Southwark planning application: http://planbuild.southwark.gov.uk:8190/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=_STHWR_DCAPR_9562425 More info below: A new scheme is being proposed to create X11 Luxury Apartments at The 133 Rye Lane gateway to The CLF Art Cafe, Bussey Building & Copeland Park. A scheme which will also see the creation of a series of X8 retail stores opening directly into the Bussey Corridor and courtyard + the addition of 2 floors to the 133 Rye Lane Building Roof. Said project making access and egress to and from + the operating of The CLF Art Cafe, Bussey Building & Copeland Park impossible. New scheme will also restrict / prohibit the use of CLF / Bussey outside Courtyard space + the potential loss of up to 700 jobs. Furthermore 133 Rye Lane proposed extended roof will also directly / negatively affect projects like The Rooftop Cinema Club - as 133 Rye lane extended roof [with balconies] would be at the same height as / metres away from The Bussey Building Block A Roof. Said proposal would also affect the view from Franks Bar and [importantly] would negatively affect The New Peckham Co-Design Solution. The extended roof overlooking and hence potentially limiting uses of the new Peckham square project and it's proposed roof gardens. There are many more reason that this scheme fails, many caused by the fact that [despite claims to the contrary in the developers proposal] the 133 Rye lane scheme was conceived and designed without discussion or consultation with any of the directly affected parties such as The CLF / Bussey and Copeland Park....... but, and in a nutshell. We believe that the introduction of residential apartments at 133 Rye Lane [The Gateway to Peckhams Cultural Hub] is fundamentally wrong and will stop dead in it?s tracks Peckhams creative and cultural rise. Heralding the beginning of the end of what makes Peckham so special. A sure sign of the on-set of full blown gentrification.

It's not just a pool hall, it's a night club venue too. Let's face it, the housing won't be affordable to anyone unless they're bankers! I am so fed up with this 'afforable housing' nonsense - in my experience the afforable means affordable to people on a higher wage bracket.

why do you have to use a bag at all? can't you just put the food directly into the caddy, then carry the caddy to the bin and dump in the bin? the bags are so thin anyway once they're full they're likely to split.

I am a member and love it - pool is nearly always empty so good swimming (though during term time you can't use it during the day on weekdays), well equipped gym,good selection of classes (though having been a member of another incredible gym, the classes aren't that varied and are only in the evenings on weekdays, but that suits me). I think for the monthly price it's definitely worth it - the only bad thing I think is the joining fee (but they do special offers sometimes that levy this) and also the general community feel - as in there isn't really one. I think they could work on that by having member events or something but that's just my 2 pence! To answer your other questions - parking always fine plus they have bike racks for cyclists, ladies changing rooms always nice, being connected to a school just means you can't use the facilities at certain times but you can always use them from 5pm ish every day and all weekend.

@isnottropical, my friend went to quit and they reduced her membership by ?15 to keep her.

isle of wight. almost feels like you're going abroad because of the ferry.

hello i think if you follow the blue routes they take you on a diversion round the roundabout - a slightly longer route but misses the roundabout completely. sorry i can't tell you the route, i have only done it once with an instructor about 8 months ago so cannot remember it exactly also citymapper gives you options for busy/quiet/fast so that may give you a route avoiding the roundabout too

I love Stevie's hot yoga classes, he does them at Jags, Dulwich College and Gaia Studios. Search for Hot Yoga Peckham on facebook. he's really good with beginners too.

our service is intermittent - sometimes it's fine, others it'll just stop working for an hour or so. i wonder if it's anything to do with the green box at the top of worlingham road - it's a virgin box but always open so anyone can go in and pull out cables.

Hello! It's a rather pricey ?8.50, but for that you get entire day's access, so if you wanted to swim or something after you'd be able to. Also I think I can buy a book of 10 guest passes for ?50, so assuming it were to become a regular thing then price would go down to a fiver

Someone? Anyone?

Hi all I am a member of JAGS and was wondering if there's any other fellow members (or people willing to pay guest price) to play squash with me at their facilities? I'm pretty pants currently but I do enjoy it and think with regular play I could improve. I'm a 27 year old female. ta!

sorry to hear that - as an aside, if you threaten to quit they'll usually lower your membership cost, my housemate now pays ?35 a month when she told them she was thinking of leaving

OP, that sounds terrifying, I hope you're ok. I have noticed within the last month an increase in crazy driving recently. Twice I have been tooted at by drivers behind me for not going on a roundabout when the exit wasn't clear (I am not going to block up the roundabout for others) and I have also been tooted at for not going at a pedestrian crossing when the lights had gone from red to amber - the reason I wasn't driving off was because there were still some slow pedestrians crossing, and obviously I wasn't going to run them over. I have also been tooted at for not jumping an amber light (again because the exit wasn't clear so I would have ended up stuck in the middle of the junction). This particular driver then overtook me at the next available slot, when I was slowing down because the bus ahead of me was slowing too, then he cut me up and nearly went into a cyclist coming the other way. It is very frustrating to be made to feel like your driving isn't good enough/quick enough when actually you're just being safe! I am by no means a slow driver who toddles along at 20 in a 30 either. I agree with one poster that tests should be taken regularly, cars and road layouts have changed a lot since I passed 10 years ago - I reckon people over 50 should be made to take a test every 5 years too!

i think it's someone taking the piss

Thanks for the reply JAGS, unfortunately I can't really afford the monthly fee and usually swim only memberships are cheaper than inclusive memberships. Your facilities do look great though, I have climbed and swam there before as one offs. But thanks :)

Hi JAGS, have you considered doing a swim only membership? I would be very interested in it as I don't want to use the other facilities
