Often happens when the traffic lights go out; drivers riders and pedestrians actually concentrate!

I would love Infinity. We have a box outside telling folk we are connected to it but we are not. Everyone else nearby is. South East side of Peckham Rye Park. I have no idea how much more expensive it will be.

I spent a New year's Eve at the old Marquee seeing them pre their 'big' success. Fish was in his make up and it was rather a fabulous night. He was a great story teller. I never did drugs but I probably drank rather a lot of XXXX lager, which was rather popular in them days and that may have helped my appreciation. Saw the mates I had spent that evening with, two days later and we agreed - They were too close to their idols Genesis.

If you do not have the expensive but effective ant powder from the likes of the little shop on the corner of Peckham Rye SE22 and Dunstans Road - you know, the lovely lady who has the dog in a basket on a shelf behind the counter - then try any talcum powder. It's fine enough to do serious damage to them. Cover all entrances with a line of it.

What a great article of my local shopping area. For a fortune, Bambuni sells warm coffee in little glasses which to my mind is rip-off pretentious tosh. Ask for hot coffee in a mug like it should be served and they will do that for you. Dish and Spoon may be what the reviewer says, but when I walked in they could not have been more snootier. Maybe because I didn't have kids in a pram with me.... Nice that the flower shop AG got a mention. Wendy has worked so hard to make that shop work, and it took a great deal of nerve for her to buy the business. Shame they missed out Kristals which is the whackiest pharmacy/chemist you're likely to see ever. We've just bought our new loo from MK Plumbing in Evelina Road too, and they even delivered it for free. All we need is a trinket shop and we'll be a good match for Lordship Lane!

Courtesy of Steve North on Facebook (and I agree with it): Whatever you think of Thatcher she divided this country in so many ways. Why the fuck should she get what is essentially a state funeral when so many people in this country hated her and what she stood for? Do we not all have a voice or a say? She decimated communities in the North of England. She sold the Falkland Islanders down the river by ignoring their concerns and denying them British citizenship and then used the ensuing fallout of conflict to win the 1983 election. She called Mandela and the ANC terroists. She encouraged the police to lay into miners, shipworkers, all kinds of protestors, by giving them huge overtime payments and backing them to the hilt even when they were completely in the wrong. She called the miners who'd dug coal and powered this country "the enemy within". She allowed mass unemployment to be an acceptable result of severe economic policy. She encouraged a get rich culture based on banking and lending to become our major industry whilst completely running down our once great manufacturing base. So when we buy a stupid single, or protest against her funeral, we aren't disrespecting an old woman. If it was a low key, marked event in the nature of Harold Wilson's or Heaths, fair enough. But if they're going to give her the status of a mass state worship shoved in our faces then too many of us resent that her legacy isn't being shown up for what it was. The most divisive period in British politics in recent times. You want respect, you earn it.

Yes. He lost the keys.

Hiya Haven't got card in front of me though it arrived today. I live in flats so will alert council but it is important people deal with it if there is a problem.

Sorry to hear this mate. Good advice. I've been let down by witnesses too.

ALWAYS have champagne in the house for JUSt such an occasion. It is not for things to celebrate although I am drunk for just such a reason; it is for bad times and 'Just Because' times as well. Go for it.

I saw some council flats in Peckham.

' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' """""""""""""" ,,,,,, ....... Save for laters.

They could reach a pretty penny. Take 'em to the next Antiques Roadshow! Also I suggest you telephone The Stage and ask for their suggestions, since this is their business.

I absolutely loved the film and have briefly been. If you are very stocky like the American in the film then no point trying to go up said Bell Tower! It's not a huge place which adds to the charm. Have a great time.

And the negativity goes on.... Meanwhile, looking forward to popping in and seeing the new Clockhouse. Love Youngs Beers anyway!

Sue?

1970s shows. The Persuaders. 1980s shows. Rock Follies. 1990s shows. Twin Peaks and/or X-Files.

And the type of Chiropractic treatment I would highly recommend is Wendy Watson or others who practice MCTIMONEY CHIROPRACTIC at the Dulwich Therapy Rooms above the health shop on Lordship Lane. Next to Mr Moo on the left as you walk up from the roundabout. I have suffered a few knocks of the ol' motorbike over the years and they put me straight. But more importantly I go about 3 times a year for a top up to straighten me out and align everything perfectly. And yes she gives you exercises if necessary to help keep things strong. Good luck!

I have once threw my ice cream into the badly made up face of someone on a bus who was now spraying hairspray on their hair: I have bad lung problems and anything sprayed makes me very ill. After this I got off the bus and used inhalers and tablets. Still waiting for the caution for the assault but hey, ya gots to do what ya gots to do. Great thread.

Like the above post! (Even though I am technically in Nunhead!) I also love the individuality of things, eg Therapy Rooms and the organic shop. And the excuse to meet people via buying and selling things!

And anyway, the derogative collective noun 'Luvvies' (ie. professional and often highly trained actors), does not apply to Journalists who are also often highly trained even if they do not always 'act' professionally... Did I really just waste some time?!

Thanks for letting us know about this Eileen. I have commented on the Feedback. I want to go to see this. They have to ask our opinions but they have already made up their mind!

Never the same since It stopped being Greater London Radio. Johnnie Walker and so on was wonderful.

The Clockhouse has an Events manager? Sheesh. I only want a beer and a decent meal.
