Thank you VV, have sent a PM.

Thank you Rhian, but I am looking for pebbles/cobbles .

Would anyone have any spare real slate roofing tiles? I need a few for a garden project. Happy to pay. thank you.

If anyone has any pebbles or cobbles that they are not using please let me know. Thank you.

Sent a pm.

what I am saying is that women should be given exactly the same opportunities to succeed as men and they are not. That is all.

Men came to dominate the world because they are physically stronger than women, and it is stupid comments like the one mentioned in the op that allow this dominance to continue. Banking, politics, education, religion, media, police, law where are the female judicial appointments? on and on and on. If we as a country and a world could eliminate discrimination towards women then everything else would would be so much more easily solved. As for the stupid woman in the playground, she is fooling herself and damaging her daughter's future security.

Best saying I have come across in a long time and very positive; 'Strive not to have more but to be more' Perhaps a quote for today would be a good thread too?

Morning Eileen I am sorry that I couldn't make last night I hope that it went well. Would you let us know what happened and any news re eagle wharf? Many thanks

Fantastic idea. Great for our area. Thank you.

Left of centre politicians who tell us they want to dismantle private education and then go on to Send their kids to private or back door selective school make me feel sick. Tony Blair, Diane Abbott Ruth Kelly the list goes on. Then they preach the opposite to us plebeians. Arggh. There is so much corrosive hypocrisy. As for Alleyn's for this legacy to have been in place for hundreds of years is an achievement If it could be available to a larger proportion of disadvantaged kids it would benefit society more. Ironically from what a previous poster said The labour party stopped what left of assisted places. If it took local kids first in a kind of local catchment it would also free up local state places benefiting the rest us more.

Hi Eileen there is a link to the article on the Peckham Page of the south central forum - which I have only recently discovered. I will try to come along on the 14th and I also fully support the campaign to control the numbers bookmakers. (The article mentions the gowlett as a great pub too). A thought re empty shops instead of horrid hoardings- I saw in Margate recently that local art students had created great designs - certainly lifted the streets that were suffering in the downturn. Could help tidy up here too?

I think we should give our money to local business and families. If you need a waitrose or m&s order it online. There is a gap in the ed market for a 'collective' local shop order and delivery.

Ibilly99. I agree re shoreditch. Your photo is wonderful. It is awful how peckham has been ignored. Does any know what is going to happen to the eagle wharf old whiten timber site? Would be an excellent community arts space.
