Maybe "grand designs without McCloud" The French program I watched was full of ideas along with alternative ways to either arrange layout material pros and cons with alternatives to everything from roofing tiles to sliding doors and interesting processes for finishes it even ran to undergound garages with lifting mechanisims it was a proper program. Not a load of waffle and padding. Altough that might have had a techinical piece I didn?t see ;) There is only one thing ?grand? about grand designs and that?s McCloud. Pompously grand?. 99% Garbage. Edit to add... I have 100% no issue with his sexuality if he is gay. But it might be why he appears to counter the wife's views...

Kevin McCloud is misery? Every project he looks at he uses the same format 1. Smugly looks at plans. 2. Commenting on negative aspect of plans. 3. Add a little doom and gloom 4. Goes on to building site and makes a few irrelevant observations. 5. Adds a little more doom and gloom. 6. Cut to Problems 7. Add more doom and gloom. 8. Revisit building site? more sly negative comments. 9. Review of plans and adds his perceived negative views. 10. Commenting on how the project might actually be just about ok.. 11. Visit near finished project and mince around. 12. Comment and gloss over how some issues made it a tough build ?no shit? 13. End the show on a Negative note? He?s a complete arsehole. I avoid everything he?s in because he?s a mincing twat who makes the whole process appear to be even more difficult and awkward that it needs to be. I come away thinking I?ve wasted 40 mins and learnt nothing. We all know building is problematic. Would be good to be shown solutions and details. But Noooooooo we are loaded up with dooooommmmm? It?s TV for idiots. Having watched an equivalent French program whilst working in Paris. It confirmed my already solid view he and his namby pamby negative programs are complete TV garbage.

Zebedee Tring The rental policy is market rate. Basic food shops would die a death too much competition from Sainsbury?s etc... Jeremy Today Sheppard?s sell food. I'd happily live in the Village just a matter of earning enough money, I think it offers excellent value compared to Wimbledon Chelsea etc and has some of the best schools in the country which get coach loads of kids bussed in every day from Kent Clapham etc etc . I?ve never understood how prices in Dulwich Village aren?t at least equal to Hampstead Wimbledon it?s cheap relatively ie per sqft , maybe it?s the train line going through Peckham that kills the prices.

Apologies Yes Woops? My post is rather misleading I totally missed the second floor existing plan. Didn?t look at the existing elevations either I could have sworn there was only one floor above Iceland. Good thing I?m in IT not planning! Well I best take half my comments back. Will edit them out?. Still a loss of 17 parking spaces and potential cloning and increase in direction to blag shopping experience??. Though it looks like that wouldn?t stop it being granted. ETA M&S on LL a year away.. How SAD ?? micro merde ??.. central..

After a browse of the application it appears M&S are atempting to squeeze a store onto a site which just isn't large enough. What's really amazing "for M&S" is the way their transport assessment sees the loss of on site parking for 17 cars as an improvement! Who else in their right mind would believe a loss of 17 parking spaces on lordship lane to be a good thing? An M&S store larger than iceland will have more staff and more customers with a net result of more pressure on car parking locally. The application should include an increase in parking from 17 to 40+ car spaces not a removal of 17 spaces! Regardless of excellent local transport, an application like this is completely out of keeping with local needs and places increased pressure on already limited local parking and other facilities. Without question constitutes overdevelopment. This is the type of development suited to Central London ie work destination not a residential area ie not suited to serving local needs but serving a visiting workforce..... Different rules should be applied. If this type of development is allowed "regardless of who the applicant might be" the impact will be to dramatically change the character of Lordship Lane reducing the residential feel and nature of the area. An area which currently has a good balance of business retail units suited to the size and demands of the local population. Locals before Big Business ...... Southwark have a duty to keep East Dulwich from becoming just another cloned US style Highstreet, resulting in yet another Highstreet which in time few will want to visit. Dulwich Village has "due to the Dulwich Estate" resisted excessive development, which means its still an area worth living in unlikely to become a retail Ghetto.... Edited to remove some misleading stuff about 2nd floor.... cheers ...

This is one weird thread .... 1. Who would write such a note and on pink Filofax paper too? 2. Who would then make their first post on any forum stating receipt of such a note? 3. lousmith interesting detail.... What happened to the dead cat was it buried at sea ? That would make the story hang together rally nicely IMO.

But If you live in the UK I think we would expect shops to be in suitable high street locations and Lordship Lane is a small high street ... Which should have small shops not M&S or McDonalds they are shops for Oxford street or Rye Lane. Just a thought if this was shabadaba supermarkets rather than Maxiprice&Shitfoood would everyone still be happy to see this large development on our door step? Ummmmm I don't think so! I say shitfood on the basis that the highly processed and over packaged products they sell gets us further and further away from REAL food, proper misshapen tasty vegetables and such like... Though I do like their biscuits especially when I'm out of the UK. Imo the ready meals and plastic tasting stuff they sell is very sad, nothing could be worst that sitting down at a table to all that garbage... Modern life hey eating M&S micro merde!

Rye Lane is a disgrace! Southwark have allowed Rye Lane to decend into a disgusting Ghetto / No Mans Land. Mainly due to the restriction on cars. The moment it became a dump was the day cars were stopped, shortly after Jones and Higgins the department store equivalent to John Lewis saw massive customer decline as Dulwich customers went to Croydon for the multi storey car parking. M&S should be forced on Rye Lane. NOT Lordship lane! It's about time a plan was set out to balance both these high streets. Lordship lane is 1/6 the size of Rye Lane. Putting an M&S on Lordship Lane would be overdevelopment! Putting an M&S on Rye Lane would lift that high street. Southwark must have a balanced plan and part of that balance must be to stop dumping every high street name on the smaller of these two local shopping high streets. Rye lane will never escape the Ghettofication enforced on it by previous Poor Southwark planning decisions of the 1970s . Its about time some common sense was used. No question the M&S application is Over Development of Lordship Lane and the ban on cars on Rye Lane should be lifted! Edit to add There's a perfectly good Cinema on rye lane .... Why are we trying to replicate everything Peckham has in East Dulwich madness! In a few year time we will end up with the Lordshio Lane Ghetto?

Rye lane died when some genius decided make it busses only and stop cars driving through. If Southwark did the same for lordship lane blocking it off to cars with a Barry road bypass then lordship lane would die too. If Southwark want to regenerate rye lane the they need to open it up to cars again, maybe then M&S would return. But until then rye lane will remain ghetto lane. The reason lordship lane is vibrant and busy is because cars drive through without restriction and parking is free and available. Our problem is the overspill of shoppers who would otherwise be going to rye lane and making the whole area including Peckham a nicer place to live but noooo Southwark insist on making Peckham a no go zone....! James its about time rye lane was opened up to cars again!

You are kidding right?

Yes Brooks Brothers are very good. I don?t understand how M&S have made so many costly mistakes and they?re still going deep reserves, maybe the banks have bailed them out or is it the food part of their business? I now associate M&S with poor quality clothing, over packaged / over processed overpriced food. Best found in Bromley / Croydon etc in the same high street "desirable" league as a poshed up MacDonalds.
-
M&S are back in Paris ... except they don't sell Food! They are selling clothes!!!!!! Fancy that trying to sell Clothes to the French very brave indeed! I popped in to buy some biscuits etc but none to be found.... Complete bunch of Muppets! But then again maybe trying to sell food to the French is a bigger problem?
-
I lost interest in M&S when they started getting their underwear made in the Far East and after 3 washes the elastic disintegrated and the socks wore out after a month. M&S made me look like a tramp in front of my then girlfriend, our relationship never recovered. M&S corner cutting cheap Bstards,,,,,,,,, Grrrrrrrrr

Political time is 4 years so 5 years is more than enough. Besides these days most contractors and surveyors are incompetent or corrupt or both, usually both and they?re at the top of the food chain. Unfortunately here in the UK there?s no pride in doing a good job just bragging about how much was made for doing very little. Even the foreign ?Polish etc? have now become a bunch of crooks as most customers particuarly local authorities havn?t a clue what costs what and whether the work has been competently carried out.

James the road surfacing has been carried out It?s not what I?d call a flat did the council specification demand extra undulation? Or was it was a cheap deal? Or is it self levelling tarmac? Probably just that I?ve been more used to German and French roads recently. -

Good for you. The staff surroundings location is IMO irrelevant. The quality of the food is everything. It was completely tasteless main dish very small floppy salad. It?s all in my previous posts. In all the years I?ve been eating and loving Italian food I?ve never eaten the kind of rubbish I ate when I went to Rocca. I received NO reply to my email. No a sorry, please try us again nothing. Because that?s the rubbish they serve every day? I may never know. Remember there was no way I was going to complain during of after a business lunch. Many go because it looks nice and is convenient and the staff are nice quite laughable. The food was not good it was an embarrassment. So bad I still can?t bring myself go back . Two words that sum up what I was served Cheap & Lacking.

Oakhurst Grove-planning permission for windows
fazer71 replied to toffeeapple's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Ummmmmmmmm I've had sash windows refurbished and they are fine. toffeeapple The originals lasted 100 years and my guess is the refurbished ones will out last most of us if they are painted every five years if south facing and 7 if north facing and even that might be over the top if you use sikkens or better quality paint on the outside. overhaul only when they need it. I'wouldn't be spending ?4.5k or ?2.8k just stick to what you're doing unless you plan on living they for 50 years + toffeeapple Out of interest what is the cost to overhaul and replace the sliding sash's ? -

Back to the way it was before they changed it last year! A simple solution would be to paint the wall of the existing roundabout WHITE.

East Dulwich, the Notting Hill of the east?
fazer71 replied to JessieW's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
What is considered (Poor) in the UK these days? Only having a Nokia phone not an iPhone or Blackberry? Or is it just having one mobile phone of any make? Not having more than 2 pairs of shoes? Not having a car? Having seen poor people in other countries. I struggle with using that label here in the UK. Maybe I?m wrong but do we really have Poor people? Or do we have people who are not able maintain a job or manage the money they are given by the state or who abuse the NHS through self inflicted damage. When ever I hear someone saying the ?Poor? in this country it just makes me cringe. Maybe we need a new word for people who are not quite as wealthy as others I?ve heard (underprivileged) used which might fit the only having a Nokia phone situation. Or maybe we need a new word Poorfeks Or Feklows Or Undermids Or Feklazy Maybe I?m wrong and it?s a relative word which still applies?
