Changes to train times between ED & LB
spanglysteve replied to ksh's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I don't really see the point of stopping services short at SB. In reality, who is choosing to ride to SB and then continuing their journey from there? -

I know it may attract people from other areas but what is the real liklihood of six deliveries a day? The rate of stock turnover would have to be phenomenal for six separate deliveries to be required.

Powercut on Underhill Road
spanglysteve replied to spanglysteve's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
whoops, Underhill Road, not sure why I wrote East Dulwich Road! -
Hello, just wondering if anyone else is having a powercut on East Dulwich Road or just me. None of my trip switches have flipped?

Just seen this - are we at chain tipping point locally?
spanglysteve replied to Louisa's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I must confess, I liked looking in the ED deli, but I never actually bought anything there. It was always extortionately overpriced. Tins of tomatoes especially used to blow my mind! -
Argh down again :(

You crack me up Louisa, you bemoan that kids playing on the street is a thing of the past despite only recently venting your frustration of exactly that happening at Peckham Rye. I am seriously beginning to think that your posts are a knowing parody. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1275804,1275943#msg-1275943

Except for the fact that I am sure I remember reading somewhere that most of the businesses in Rye Lane own their buildings. Apparently years back, Peckham was the desired route for High Speed 1 (ie the line into St Pancras. British Rail bought up all the properties under compulsory purchase rights. When the route changed they sold most on cheaply to the existing tennents so it seems unlikely that rents will push them out. If anything, it will be commercial developers who are willing to buy up the properties, knock them down and then rebuild, but that is a much slower process. There was even an episode of Desmonds about it http://www.channel4.com/programmes/desmonds/4od#2922212

Getting rid of Christmas trees
spanglysteve replied to MediaBoy's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
This from the Southwark website, although given that they think there are 6bn Christmas trees in uk who know how reliable any of their info is!! ------------------------------------------------- Real Christmas tree collections Each year approximately six billion trees are used to celebrate Christmas in Britain, sadley only 10% of those trees end up being recycled. This January make the most of your Christmas tree and help the environment at the same time by recycling your tree. Choosing to recycle your Christmas tree in Southwark ensures that your tree will be composted and used as a soil improver for agricultural purposes around the country. There are three easy ways to recycle your Christmas tree in Southwark If you have a food and garden waste collection, real Christmas trees can be collected as part of your normal household collection service. Simply remove any decorations and its pot or stand and place your tree next to your brown bin ready for collection. If you do not have a scheduled food and garden waste collection service you can book an ad-hoc collection and arrange for your Christmas tree to be collected. Simply telephone 020 7525 2000 or email the environment team to book. From 6 to 31 January there will also be real tree collection sites at the following places around the borough Reuse and recycling centre on Devon Street (off Old Kent Road) Belair Park Peckham Rye Park Southwark Park -
Best travel route to Goodge Street at rush hour?
spanglysteve replied to poppet27's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
63/363 to Peckham Rye, train to Victoria, Victoria line to warren street and walk. Given where you are starting I wouldn't waste time with any options which require you to walk to Lordship Lane -
Where has the Electrical shop cafe gone???
spanglysteve replied to Frankie G's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
This thread suggests they didn't have the correct planning permission. Not sure if there is any truth in that though. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1136810,1142528#msg-1142528 -
Wheelie bins left out on Lordship Lane
spanglysteve replied to wtj's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
my understanding is that southwark collect the bins from your property and return them to within your boundary. That is what they do on underhill road -
logging out and sending the link appeared to work despite it being the same link... strange. The link was being embedded in FB if that helps?

Stolen handbag in The Bishop Saturday 8th June
spanglysteve replied to stephanieod15's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
If I dont trust where I am and I have a manbag, I always tend to ensure my foot or chair leg is through the handles/strap so that it cant be easily taken away. Am sorry to hear yours was stolen. -
I dont subscribe to any religion, and am often am incredulous at the beliefs of others, but that is their choice. Who are we to argue, I think particularly Uncleglen it is not helpful to link the Tabernacle to Westboro on the basis that they are both baptist. That would be like saying East Dulwich is the same as the former East Germany as they both have the word "East" in them.

The trees don't bother me so much. It's more the size and volume of weeds currently growing out of all the pavements near where I live. It's as if you are walking through the amazon on the way to the bus stop. I regularly pull the weeds out from the pavement infront of my house, others don't and I think the council probably has bigger issues on its mind!

Herne Tavern play area to be demolished

Excellent post from THEHERNE. It sounds like these changes will be for the better. Will you be keeping the quiz on a Sunday night, I go almost every week and love it! -
Beware of penalty charge notice
spanglysteve replied to jam_log's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Indeed, I actually blocked a yellow box on my driving test and still passed, precisiely because someone turned in infront of me blocking the space that existed as I pulled into the box. Unless they have video evidence, they will find it extremely difficult to charge you and they know it. Refuse to pay on these grounds. lesalden Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > The law says when entering the box you must have a > "reasonable expectation" of being able to leave > it.

These dont seem to be getting any better, Underhill Road and East Dulwich Road are particularly bad at the moment.
