Walking along Rye Lane last week, it would seem that road markings, Yellow lines and bus lanes have been Freshly painted. Might be wrong but think perhaps the road is being made ready to be opened up. Possibly for Buses only. Let's hope so. DulwichFox

The ULEZ is soon to be extended.. meaning there will be charges outside the Current ULEZ. There is to be yet another charge (So I'm told) to be implemented soon. Foxy.

Basically a Village by definition is a community with a Central Ecclesiastical Center. (a main Church) A congregational centre... for people to meet. Also a Pub (The Pub) ... A 'Village' shop.. Not a chain.. Back in the Day a Blacksmith.. Foxy

KidKruger Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Well? Peckham was a village - it?s in the name ! Peckham was a Hamlet of the parish of Camberwell, situated about a mile to Camberwell?s east on the road to New Cross. The name means ?the place of the river Peck?, a small steam that runs through the district. Peckham has never been an administrative district, or a single ecclesiastical parish in its own right; nevertheless, today it has a strong sense of local identity. This may well be why Peckham was never classed as a Village This has its roots in its 19th century development from fields to suburbs, and crucially the development of Rye Lane as one of the most important shopping streets in south London. Foxy

Nunhead is in Nunhead. It is NOT a Village. Original London Villages:- Clerkenwell. Hampstead. Chelsea. Dulwich. That's more or less it. Foxy

I Gave up my car in Feb/March 2019.. My car was 26 years old. The correct tyres were virtually no longer available locally. The washer bottle had split and the Washer pump finally packed up. The hand brake was on it's last notch. My optician said I could still legally drive with corrected Vision (glasses) but as my cataracts were getting worse I was renewing my glasses very 6 months.. (expensive) My Cataracts have now been sorted.. My Distance Vision is excellent.. I can now Legally drive without having to wear glasses. Not 20-20 but very close to. I have no desire to buy another car.. Problems Parking at Home.. Charging points.. Car Parking Fees.. Roads Closed Off.. Cameras Fines if you stray into the wrong lane.. Congestion Charges.. ULEZ Charges.. It's a nightmare driving these days.. It was Fun when I was 18... I have not regretted giving up my car.. I do not need a Car.. I used to drive to the coast... ?40.00 petrol.. ?8.00 + Parking.. Can't have a drink. Train to Brighton with Freedom Pass (to East Croydon) ?20.00 Return and I have a couple of beers with my Fish & Chips.. Foxy

OutOfFocus Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Eraser - a thing that is used for rubbing out. Why is an eraser called a rubber? In 1770, the word rubber was coined by Joseph Priestley when he observed that gum from the Hevea tree could be used to rub out pencil marks. In short, it was called rubber, because it rubs out pencil mark, you read it right. Foxy
