We did have the South London Loop though, which was pretty useful. And more reliable trains running on Thameslink and into London Bridge.

Public transport in this part of town is getting intolerable

Ticket machine at Denmark Hill wasn't working today and as far as I know doesn't sale monthly oysters

I don't get why it's allowed - effectively it's transferring ownership of the bit of street outside a house to a private individual. It's taking away public space, limiting it's use to a single individual. It also make the environment for pedestrians much more precarious / unwelcoming. it's really not very civic minded.

I think it's a shame. As a pedestrian, it feels like you're being squeezed on both sides - it removes the feeling of separation between the road and the pavement.

I hate this trend for concreting front gardens. It really does change the character of a street / neighbourhood.

"Kids Company did provide valuable support to many vulnerable young people, albeit the evidence shows that this was on a considerably smaller scale than it claimed in its publications and annual reports. The failures in governance that led to the collapse of the charity should not detract from the commitment and hard work of many highly dedicated individuals who worked in the organisation. e charity?s consistent message, that vulnerable children and young people must be supported with compassion and personalised care, must not be lost with the collapse of Kids Company and criticisms about the appropriateness and e ectiveness of some of its methods."

Add in the word 'primarily' if you want.

Also heard 'Chime' by Orbital recently for the first time in years.

Reminds me of the we want plates Twitter account. Anyone for cottage pie in a pint glass?

Kaleidoscope by the Boo Radleys. Was watching 'Spirit of the Blitz' (an old Deathbox skate vid) on You Tube - this was the opening track. Both the vid and the track transported me back somewhat.

Yep, the Dulwich Estate's only aim is to maximise income in order to subsidise a number of elite schools. Charity eh?

Bruno's, the ice cream shop, the burrito and the popcorn places in the market.

Blimey, it is easy to wind up Guardian readers.

I think Sandi Toksvig and Neil Buchanan lived opposite inside 72.* *slightly obscure 80's kids TV reference

Not surprise.. just pointing out that it's a little perverse.

It's not that I'm unsympathetic. The point is, you should speak with the publican in the first instance.

This isn't the place to contact the Cherry Tree pub.

So you hate the Guardian, yet you trawl it for examples of infuriating articles, which you then link to on here?

Is this place related to the Great Exhibition does anyone know?

I liked Inside 72, but I think it's 'legend' has become somewhat exaggerated over the years. Probably time to stop using it as a point of comparison. Anyway WGT looks good, and nice to have somewhere with a decent beer garden.
