The thing about grass is it self renews very efficiently and quickly, helped along the way with a good shower of rain or two. In a couple of months, unless there is a drought which would destroy the grass anyway, you?ll never know it had been churned up, just like you?d never know today large scale equestrian events had been held in Greenwich Park.

?but god forbid I ever become a boring NIMBY like some of the plonkers on here!? Louisa was (and will be again?) one of the biggest NIMBYs on the Forum. So many things she didn?t want in her back yard including music festivals in Peckham Rye Park, designer hamburgers and pizza, Marks and Spencer ... the list goes on. Nimbyism cuts across all classes.

There are a lot of film unit vehicles currently parked up on both sides of Lordship Lane between M&S and the Co-op. I think it might be for Luther?

I don?t think the questionnaire is that bad, the ?how was it for you? questions give greater scope for a more detailed, nuanced answer than a question such as ?On a scale of 1 to 10, how clean did you find the facility? which gives no scope for the ?yes but ...? answer. Had I ever attended at Lister, I would welcome the opportunity of answering the more open ended questions. Anyway, regardless of whether it?s a well designed questionnaire or not, or whether it?s a mere PR stunt, we should not lose site of the fact that within a couple of years (or so!), at last, there will be a brand new health facility in the area.

There is a recent new page on the Guys and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust website regarding the services that will be offered https://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/news-and-events/2018-news/may/20180509-A-new-health-centre-for-Dulwich-Community-Hospital-site.aspx

I was recently offered an emergency appointment with the nurse practitioner for an acute condition at my GPs surgery and was very happy with the consultation and outcome

All the libraries have them and garden centres, definitely the one next to North Dulwich station.

I think they are both genuinely smitten but the royal family are certainly taking the opportunity to put a message across. The cynical side of me says this is aimed at the Commonwealth to foster better trading links post Brexit, I believe it has been announced the happy couple intend working to strengthen those links.

Mea culpa !

?I am disappointed to see Labour introduce what is effectively a poll tax, but the Lib Dems are far worse ideologically.? Nothing like a poll tax which everyone is compelled to pay. You only pay the ?16 bulk collection fee if you want the council to take away large items i.e. you pay for the service.

They are a very practical family when it comes to their own survival.

From previous threads on EDF it appears that Sainsburys are responsible for maintenance of St Francis Park. See http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,336529,1795265#msg-1795265.

The buildings may have disappeared but no the history hasn?t been lost forever otherwise we wouldn?t be discussing it, history like this is kept alive even more so in these days of the internet and amateur enthusiasts. There?s history and there?s nostalgia ...

The flats on the site of Kings on the Rye are a conversion of the pub built in the late 1950s to replace the Victorian (?) pub destroyed in World War II. http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/london/se15_kingsarms.html

There is also a mosaic thistle which was David Greig?s symbol, I believe they were a Scottish firm. This gave rise to the incarnation before Tart, Le Chardon, French for thistle. BTW, there are two other David Greig?s further down the road shown on the street directory at nos. 145 and 147 to 153.

Wonderful, thanks for posting. Reminds me of the shops in Westow Hill and Westow Steet in Crystal Palace where the Norwood Society (I think) has organised ?Blue Plaques? in the windows that show what the shops were in a past life.

There was one called Give and Take next to EDT which became Question Air and has now changed its name to something else

Sharpworks at Herne Hill hold classes http://www.sharpworks.co.uk/page4.htm

Notice on window says it's going to be a Shelter Boutique. There are already a few of these including shops at Hampstead and Blackheath that sell high end designer clothes

Yep my thoughts exactly. I see Admin has quickly lounged another thread like that

FS posts work well as satire but in this very odd thread who's to know. Hope OP got information they were looking for.
