  1. If you join the Peckham Society you may be able to get back issues of the magazine and read letters others have written. Many older folk who are not necessarily into these new fangled computers have met up through the Peckham Society. It will soon be on line, you'll be able to access every article and every letter written and look at all the subjects written about, ie. including Peckham Manor school.
  2. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/file.php?20,file=80748 OK then, me juicer. Now, should I add the last of the wine?!
  3. Nope I stand by it. My bike is a tool. It tools along; it's a tool for getting me from A to B.
  4. My bike.
  5. As well as the law the fear factor would bother me! Coming back to see my car/bike had been scratched or something, and also never knowing if the car belonged to someone who maybe could not afford to get a dropped kerb and used their car to take her elderly folks to the hospital and you had blocked them in.
  6. Dulwich IS on the map!
  7. Where abouts do you live Jem? We were cut for four days when a local known vandal remains the main suspect when he cut cables on four blocks!
  8. My mate lives in Upper Norwood. There is a nearby carpet school (Harris) and fabulous architecture. Local bus 410 take you to Crystal Palace so you can get a 63 and visit your East Dulwich mates. She loves it there. Nice park too. South Norwood Lake in one direction and Crystal Palace in the other.
  9. Here's what I have done instead of paying the extra money for Interflora. I can't afford flowers much but on special occasion I thought I would do this. Google to find the nearest flower shop to the person you want to receive them. (Google Earth to see if they look like a nice shop if necessary!) Phone the shop and ask for a delivery and pay them straight into their bank account. It's worked for me!
  10. I just tell them to go forth and multiply. But in a sweary fashion. I'm like that up until about 10.00am. Self employment is good like that. Right: breakfast...
  11. My limited experience (2 months motorcycle trip around the whole country) and with NZ family and a glider expert for a husband taught me that in the northlands of the north island the industry is pretty much marijuana these days. And the best gliding site in the whole world is in Omarama in the south island.
  12. If you all go to your local police safer neighbourhood team forum meetings you can say what you think needs to be the top three areas of focus for them. It's pretty much always "burglary" in the Peckham Rye and Nunhead area. Please look up the relevant pages and areas so you can see when they meet. I always used to say in the What's On page when our meetings are; no-one from here came. Can't think why. The councillors can't do much about burglary, can they.
  13. Possibly because Large parts of Dulwich are not council owned land? Just a guess.
  14. I agree about Lewisham as that is where I usually get my veg and fruit but also a heads up to the little greengrocers on Evelina Road just past the Kristals Pharmacy and by the dry cleaners. They are friendly and like greengrocers should be. The fruit is not always plentiful but the veg is, and mostly comes from Kent. And is cheaper than supermarkets.
  15. I had just left for work and was suddenly nearly blinded by a light. Before I worked out was it was a massive clap of thunder hit. Then it rained. It was a meterological phenomena is what it was.
  16. But my Mum really HAS lost her wedding ring....
  17. I saw the entire Live news broadcast from Leicester University, where about six professors in their field - archeology, forensics, geneology, genes, armoury and others all delivered their own explanation of how they came to the conclusions they did. It was most moving, as they also thanked all those who had contributed their knowledge (and their DNA in the case of the relatives!) Then the head of Leicester University announced with pride that Leicester Uni was the one who had discovered DNA and now this, ie. GIVE US MORE MONEY! It was interrupted by the news of Huhne (who I hope goes to prison), then back to the news conference in Leicester. Back to the news anchors on BBCNews24 and one said, "Well they strung that out, didn't they!"
  18. A thread on Face book. A salad is to McDonalds what a hug is to a prostitute. Not the funniest line, but a reasonable analogy. I had a couple of burgers in my twenties, not since. Bit bleuuugh or it may have been the Dogbolter.
  19. Yes, sorry about that edcam. I thought about it and remembered there was a thread about the noise over ED from planes, so thought I'd put it there so people can comment accordingly. You're right. I see it's been moved. Fair do's!

  21. How excellent. I took a similar photo when I was flying over but it was not nearly as clear so well done you! Love how green it looks and you can see the train line and either someone has a blue roof or a swimming pool can't work out which! Also the edge of Brenchley Gardens, and the Reservoir. Thanks so much for posting!
  22. Jeremy thanks for listing the NHS review site. I note The Gardens and Nunhead Surgery has great reviews but very few of them. People are eager to share bad experiences, warning about them, but not so eager to share good ones.
  23. Report them to PCT. Other surgeries do not have this appalling service. If you're in the Nunhead Surgery area definitely go there. We had a patients forum last week and they are very popular because they are empathatic and won't go down the 0870 route, have a human answering phones and do not have these ridiculous long waiting times to see doctors.
