Saw them at Hammersmith Odeon about 1984. So loved them and still do. Golden Brown was my favourite. But on sunny days on the coast I still sing Peaches to myself!

But it IS useful!

And, Admin, you can take my name off it if you like and just call it Useful Police and SNT details. I am just happy to help folks.

Please note, I did not write the posting 3 posts up, the one that has the 'or follow this link'. That was not me: that must have been admin. I don't quite see the point to be honest because the thread will drop and so no-one will see it. Many people tell me they don't see the info tab, which is why I thought stickying THIS thread would be more useful for everyone. So why can't it be stickied it if it is useful as the hits it has acquired seem to imply?

Thanks. Do people read the Useful Info Page? Probably.

540 views at the time of writing and no reply from Admin for my suggestion to 'sticky'. Is Admin on holiday? I can take no for an answer (but this is a useful page I believe), but no reply is worrying!

True. I have a rare free day, I may go to see the llamas at Mudchute City Farm today, after going round Nunhead Cemetery Open Day of course! Yes, the farms are working farms. But with the difference that they are mostly open to the public and are areas of learning for city kids, which most even open-to-the-public farms in the country, are not. Which is fine.

MrBen I get your point but it is a little bit more than just a goat on a pile of bricks. There are (I read recently) 64 city farms in Greater London. Many are working self financing business enterprises and perform a major service for people (specially kids) who don't get to see the countryside. On Surrey Docks Farm there is a working blacksmith and they also sell produce from the animals, ie eggs, honey etc. It may not be your thing since you grew up in a farm; many in London did not. This is for them. Enjoy.

Last night (for those of you who did not attend) muggings were one of the priorities that the local snt teams will concentrate on. Please forward all info you may have to Sgt Cook. Look at my thread re Police info (I am hoping will be a sticky) for details of how to contact him or go to the met police website and work it out like I did.

Please don't think this reply is inappropriate; I really am only suggesting a way people might get help here. If the people who need hedges cutting down are finding it difficult to do so for any reason and they are over fifty, they could join Southwark Circle (?20 a year) and then pay one of the Helpers to do it (for something like ?10 an hour, don't quote me). It's a not for profit organisation. Mr PR has been doing quite a bit of gardening and hedge trimming recently for people. Arm muscles like rock, he's got. Sighhhhh Hope you won't mind this reply, James.

Ah but I do about four other lines of work, and only rarely do Humanist Funerals. This was one of the others: I am a Helper with Southwark Circle. But a funny post nevertheless! I do occasionally, however, meet with people who have contacted me because they want to plan their own funeral and so they want to tell me about themselves and how they would like it. Which is fair enough. They get the irony that since they won't be there anyway it wouldn't matter if I get people to sing hymns and stuff, but they do it to save their families the grief at the worst time. Back to the farm. Hope you all have time to make your way there with your kids, while their kids are still little and oh-so-cute!

You'll all there but I see not what you say.

Dear all. Here is a heap of information regarding the police for you. I hope Admin may see fit to 'sticky' this. Met Police Website's Site Map Southwark Police website and phone numbers. The Main Safer Neighbourhood team page from the Southwark Page, along with numbers and emails etc. East Dulwich Safer neighbourhood page, with the map of the relevant area, and team members and numbers etc. Peckham Rye Ward details with numbers and names and faces And all the other individual teams can be found from the link three up. Last night (19 May 2011) at the Peckham Rye Police Ward Panel, Sgt Cooke told us about this police survey and hopes you will all fill it in. I have an idea some of you may already have done so as I have a feeling I put a link somewhere before. But please all take a look and complete it if you have a few moments. The Police Ward Panel last night (19 May 2011) was very interesting and quite well attended. I publicised it here as much as I could but considering the amount of reports of thefts and robberies on this forum, so few of you were there which is a shame. Would a different time help? We meet at 7. Would 8pm be a better start time? Discuss! Please also note that the Peckham Rye Police Ward Panel does cover a lot of the East Dulwich environs, quite a way up Barry Road, The Gardens etc, as you can now all see on the maps on the above links. But if you are close to the edge of the border you are still welcome at ours. Anyway, the survey. Right, that's my homework and good deed for the day!

I was unable to stay and say hello to everyone last night but were you one of those who turned up to the Police Ward Panel to discuss all these thefts?

English spelling teachers would be ideal....!

The Meeting is TONIGHT. Hope you can all come.

The Stage or The Radio Times... Oh okay then. South London Press. Ha.

Just had it confirmed from the SNT that they will indeed be discussing the muggings. Please come along and offer your thoughts and experiences.

Please if you can come along to the Police Ward Panel tomorrow Thursday 19th 7pm at Harris Girls Academy to discuss this and other issues of crime in the area including the muggings on the park.

PLEASE NOTE that the Police Ward Panel which I know you'll all want to come to, is now at HARRIS GIRLS ACADEMY and NOT at the Tenants and Residents Association Hall. 7pm tomorrow. Come discuss the muggings and ask the police to make sorting it out a priority.

I sometimes even have to hold back the tears when I am doing the funerals, and I know what's coming! I worry that they think I am putting it on, and I really am not. Last night even though I have seen it five times, cried at Sixth Sense, ESPECIALLY when he tells his Mum that her Mum is proud of her. Mr PR watched it too and turned round to face his computer, so I expect he was blubbering too. And don't get me started on ET when ET looks like he's gunna die. And on a more personal level, seeing my Dad in Lewisham hospital, when I had brought my Mum up from Margate to see him, and he was on a breathing machine and not doing well at all. And she held his hand as she left and their fingers parted - I don't think they'd spent a night apart in the 50 years they'd been married. Nope, I'm off.... (he survived).

I lived in Chelsea for five years and also my Father was a Chelsea Boy. Like most areas in London, people have just one opinion of the singular sort of person who lives in an area. There is a square 10 mins walk from Sloane Square, 15 mins from Harrods, 5 from South Kensington, which is a council block, and most of them are still council owned. I lived there. Many of the people who work at Peter Jones live there, I remember seeing them set off together in the mornings. Down the other end of the Kings Road - and still very much Chelsea, right by the most expensive part of the Kings Road, is the Cremorne Estate and also the big red brick tower estate next to that. I bet none of those people will appear in the programme about Chelsea. I hate this sort of programme. It does nothing for social harmony! Um... sorry.... was I taking this thread a bit too seriously?!

PLEASE NOTE: there is a POLICE WARD PANEL meeting this Thursday at 7pm at the Rye Hill Tenants and Residents Hall on the SE15 side of Peckham Rye Park. Come along and tell the police, SCPOs, Community Wardens, and Councillors if any come, your concerns.
