I usually pride myself on spotting spelling mistakes. Hats off to you, I missed that one!

I used to work round the corner from there. They used to spend very silly money on our products. Loved it.

I really recommend you join LAS2000 too. As I said, I just got a 45% deduction because their invoice was incorrect and without knowing the questions to ask, I'd not have known that the council screwed up.

Oh, another car insurance company advert? (!)

Nunhead Surgery JUSt to add another in the mix! They regularly come top in Southwark's list of surgeries for all sorts of things, and recommendations on the NHS forums are always positive. Recent reviews are not quite so positive about receptionists which is interesting and something I shall raise when I next go to the Patient's Forum meeting which all surgeries have, for all patients to contribute to. Type in your own surgery and see what folk say and more importantly add your own reviews. http://www.nhs.uk/Services/GP/ReviewsAndRatings/DefaultView.aspx?id=38074

I have no problem with referring to Rye Lane as, or hearing it referred to as Little Africa. I think it is great. But I do get the feeling there is an underlying wish to 'change it back' to something it probably never really was. I accept Eileen's point that her quote may have been taken out of context as part of a long interview. That's the problem with TV shows, but Peckham Vision members are hardly representative of the every day people you see down Rye Lane. Neither is The Peckham Society (of which I am a member). I look forward to the station being opened out!

HonaloochieB, an American band fIREHOSE also sang "I am aware there are definite errors in my thinking. Example: Knowing I can't know". I agree with the We are born, we live, we die, thing. Good thread, this!

I just got 45% lopped off my bill, because Southwark Citizens' Advice Bureau, Leaseholder section, had me ask a vital question of the Council's Home Ownership Unit regarding the invoice. Council answered OOPS, we overcharged you. ALWAYS get advice.

It was a bit of a non story on the telly which she was also interviewed on. Eileen. You can't control market forces. We're living in a capitalist society. That's what happens.

On BBC Local news there will be an item about this too. By the time you read this it may have been on!

Not us! Whereabouts are you?

Never saw that coming. Assumed Tesco or Sainsburys!

And how come you did not read the history of the area first? And now you've told us it won't be a surprise! (An Angel would have been good though, wooden it!)

So what's the sculpture going to be do we think? A tree stump? (! ) An angel as seen by William Blake?

This should be good then! http://morganico.com/

Thanks for info. "Peknam" ! CGS ideas are good so I look forward to this. When is the unveiling ceremony Morganico.com?

jane1 I said where it was. Top narrow end of Peckham Rye Common, junction with East Dulwich Road opposite the nursery-ex-public-toilets x

Tomorrow? Rose? Jamie Does Beer?

This one had been dead for years. Indeed there was a rumour I heard that it was fake and doubled as a Vodafone mast! But recently indeed a lot of trees were cut shorter, and some of the reasons included that they were seriously at risk of damaging homes (those near homes, obviously!) and in the park there were health issues of some of the trees. The Arborculturalist (I think that's the title? probably not) from Southwark Council did a thorough recce with the Tree Surgeon.

A long standing dead tree is now being worked on by folks and they are surrounded by a plastic surround as they work. Wonder what it'll be! You can already see shapes at the base emerging. This one is in Great Malvern. http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b595/PeckhamRose/66080add-c94d-4ab6-9b8a-91c98af29b85_zpsa514219f.jpg

Done. Great idea.

Is that you Louisa bottom left in the glasses getting the basket? I also recall there was a Sainsburys there when I first moved to my flat (30 years ago yesterday btw) but now there is a Morrisons and the cinema is a GOOD thing.

Marion Grey is the Manageress and I signed up to weekly emails from her so I know what the local is showing. I do not often go, but I think you are being mighty unfair slagging it off when they do their best, and again what is the point of slagging it off here and not directly to the Manageress. It tries to cater for all sorts with mother and baby shows and so on, and it does occasionally do screenings of local / art movies although shows all the big blockbusters too. It's not perfect but it is independent and cheaper than most and does try hard.

Sorry, I should not assume! John Beasley is a local man who has written many books on the local area and is the editor of The Peckham Society Magazine. If you email him [email protected] he will reply or forward to someone more appropriate who will.

And there was some delicious local brew at the Peckham Village Hall day a few Saturdays ago. Hope to drink that again tomorrow Saturday.
