I don't give a toss about flowers but I do agree it's characterless.. Particularly if empty.

Best thing would be demolish and start again. I don't know how these terrible buildings got past planning. I think they may have been hoping the people behind would want to sell some of their garden (which they didn't).

Sounds like a good idea. Any pop-up food offerings?

They must cruise around looking for vans. Scumbags.

We're down on Ryedale. Storm related i guess.

Sadly this happened before Christmas. Apparently he's working out of the back of Willow - But we've tried to reach him a few times and failed.

Kebab and Wine closing?

There was a KFC in the 70s I think.

They're horrible. Such a wasted opportunity to build something interesting in a great location.

That would be good. I think if they can get some quality food offerings from pop ups it could work.

Can't remember what they were, though! Crazy Golf I think. Sounds expensive. I'd like to see some cricket nets. Dulwich Park nets are always busy.

Gang activity?

Sorry to hear this. I know someone in Henley who had all the doors stolen from their Land Rover.

Once a year and finishes at 7pm. Makes loads of needed money for the school. Not that bad really.

Hi I'm thinking about taking singing lessons. Any teachers out there?

Possibly luxury flats?

I dread cycling along Rye Lane. I try to mostly go along Bellenden Road.

Have to say it looks very twee. Hope and Greenwood was a lovely shop with not a ye or an olde in sight.

A bit like Franco's menu del dia in Spain. There's always a good cheap option.

The Ivy House gets the balance right i think. Good beer and quality Sunday roasts at keen prices.

Anything for a tenner is good. For three of us I don't want a ?75 lunch bill.

I had to look that up: Multicultural London English (abbreviated MLE) is a sociolect of English that emerged in the late twentieth century. It is spoken authentically by the low classes.

That's a shame.
