  1. Spotted a clutch of 7 newly hatched coot chicks on the lake at Peckham Rye Park this morning
  2. "My main concern is that The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan will be involved.? Piss up in a brewery springs to mind".? You must be confusing him with the former mayor
  3. Currently Dulwich and West Norwood is the constituency with the eighth highest number of signatures ETA and Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott and Keir Starmer are the MPs for the 6th, 7th and 9th constituencies in the list!
  4. The council will take it away if you ask them to
  5. James Barber alerted us that this was in the pipeline in September 2016 /forum/read.php?5,336529,1728890#msg-1728890
  6. Sorry to learn you experienced this. Please do report to the police, I doubt you are the only one to be subjected to this and if there are a number of similar complaints, the police will do something.
  7. What happens if it exceeds 17.5 million?
  8. Keep trying! Earlier it was attracting about 400 signatures every 10 seconds, that?s a lot of traffic
  9. For those who haven?t seen it https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584

  11. You may have been told this by the postie but it's not necessarily true
  12. Think of it as a gift
  13. I agree with Texas. You do it again and again Rendall on many threads stifling debate with petty point scoring, determined to get the better of any poster who views things differently from you. I agree with much of what you say on many subjects but you make it all so unpleasant.
  14. ?Given the choice most children prefer walking, cycling, scootering to school.? This is really interesting and I?m not doubting you James but is this based on research or is it anecdotal?
  15. Being There with Peter Sellers? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_There
  16. And the coal man. And the Corona man.
  17. Everything crossed for Gordon. (Banks?)
  18. ?London will depopulate massively again like it did for long periods of the 20th century.? A major reason London?s population fell in the 20th century was the damage inflicted by the Luftwaffe. I don?t know the numbers but many, many homes were destroyed and those made homeless were accommodated outside London. When the war ended, clearance of war damage was combined with slum clearance and more Londoners were moved out, some returned, very many didn?t and put down roots in new areas. Then there was the creation of new towns which again many Londoners moved to. The original post on this thread does appear to be an anti-Labour diatribe rather than an unbiassed examination of the quality of life of those who live in East Dulwich, based primarily on potential restrictions for the car owner. Public transport has improved enormously since I first moved here when there were far fewer buses and there were no trains on a Sunday from East Dulwich station. Now we have the Jubilee line which has opened up connections from London Bridge and the London Overground is easily accessible. If journey times by bus are slower then a large contributory factor has to be the massive increase in private cars on the roads which are just not wide enough to accommodate all vehicles. So something?s got to give. There are of course those for whom owning and driving a car is essential. If non essential car journeys were curtailed, it would improve the quality of life for that group of car owners. (RH despite your assumptions, I have never owned a car and never got the hang of learning how to drive.) I guess it comes down to whether you?re a glass half full or a glass half empty person: I would count myself in the former group.
  19. The original post is a valid question and of course it?s those who regard cycling, and the freedom of the cyclist, as a religion who belittle and demean the question with snideness and accusations of trolling. S/he may have provoked a response but this is not trolling.

  21. Depends on whether the new store has a pharmacy, the one in Peckham doesn?t. The shop that used to be the Co-op Chemist is now called Sogem (?) - there?s something very unappealing about it and a lot more could be done with the space.
  22. Good luck indeed to any people trying to get anywhere on the bus coming towards the camera as it?s Out of Service
  23. ?She? was some kind of bot or spam merchant, they just had links to other sites. Admin?s probably blocked her
  24. I forgot to say on my previous post that the basis for arriving at the figure of 50% of visitors to Lordship Lane coming from outside the area does not stand up to scrutiny as the data used does not represent an unbiassed cross section. The figure is based on those who are opposed to the CPZ and have signed the petition. Those who support the CPZ will not have signed the petition but still count as visitors to Lordship Lane. It is most likely that those who are for the CPZ and so have not signed the petition will have come from within the area whereas it is unlikely that those from outside the area would support the CPZ as it would inhibit their ability to park and so have signed the petition.
