Surely you'd cut your mouth on that tin. I never had a particular issue with drinking from a glass.

True, but if you have paths, you lose more grass. I dunno, just seems strange you can't enter the green easilly coming from Lordship Lane or the station.

i dont think extra entrances/exits necessarily require extra paths. I would have thought most dogs could jump the low fence around GG anyway, if they were so inclined.

The magical power of the forum huh? BTW - I wish people would stop not giving me free stuff *waits expectantly*

Yeah, I've had the same experience. I don't get why there are only three gates.

It would be really good to have an entrance to Goose Green in the northwest corner (by the junction of East Dulwich Road and Grove Vale), so one could walk across the green instead of up past the roundabout and along the heavily polluted East Dulwich Road in order to cut in to the Green there. It seems that a lot of people would be moving that way between the station and the green (and vice versa) and yet the direct route is effectively blocked off.

It's a fair point actually. I'm not sure why it's two-way.

It kind of reminds me of the ridiculous black > cabs/uber debacle. The alleged union 'sick-note strike' is a total smokescreen. The problem is the crazy, failed privatisation model. Southern is in collapse whilst "..the boss of Go Ahead, David Brown, has just seen his annual pay soar above ?2m, and the dividend payout to his shareholders has jumped to ?37m. Someone is making a lot of money out of grotesque failure." It's a shameful state of affairs and the politicians seem powerless to do anything about it.

People who call police 'Feds'.

The council do seem determined to push through a CPZ and there is a large enough minority of angry residents with a sense that they have a 'right' to park directly outside their front door to help with justifying this agenda.

Who would have thought a small change of one convenience store for another would cause such a furor?

They're not fake, they're 'authentic/fake'.

we all pay our taxes in, a few get to take profits out. It's an backwards kind of redistribution.

Depressing.

@danielson00 -I thought that response was fair enough. It isn't under the Mayors control

If we had better public transport, you might see fewer people keeping cars. Long term that's the best solution to 'parking stress'.... That, and trying to keep things in perspective

Turkey is not going to join the EU anytime soon, for exactly this (and many other) reasons. Don't believe everything Give and Boris tell you.

I'm appalled by Alexander de Pfeffel Johnson's appointment. He has a career marked by repeated dishonestly and incompetence. He is one of the most self serving and unprincipled politician of recent times. A man like him has no place on the front bench. I've seen a lot of people talking about the inevitable gaff to come and giving him enough rope to hang himself etc... but really, what makes people think with his history that anything he does can really damage him now? He's our very own Berlusconi.
