State schools would be improved tremendously if there were no private schools. The VAT thing is just a step towards that ideal situation

Just walked through the Dulwich junction. Absolutely sickening shortsighted waste of public funds.

Yes, that’s true. Things have changed many two beds now have four bedrooms. But asking virtually double the ceiling price for the street is not going happen.

Big house, tiny garden won’t sell

this has become an annual thread. tho a bit late this year.

Sounds like it was operating at half capacity. Whatever its product was, people weren’t buying it.

😂😂😂😂 meanwhile

Lovely mother to bell ringing, speeding child, both on bikes, both on the pavement ‘ Say excuse me’. 😂😂😂

Your post, perhaps inadvertently, states there is only one legitimate food bank in southwark - of course there are many.

Edori a well known local artist runs something similar

Well. I exaggerated a little. 😂😂😂 would be more accurate

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’ve donated to him. I thought the website looked fine. what was wrong with it? Says it’s supported by various big supermarkets. Surely they would complain if it wasn’t legit.

It’s just made me laugh out loud to think that having a load of trees along a street would make me travel further to get there.

Not long as I was in there about 8 o’clock and everything looks totally normal

Loads of people go to Rye Lane. I go at at least twice a week.

A long convoluted response To what I still consider a very interesting comparison of data. You clearly have views which you find confirmed in the information that you choose to share.

Okay, I take that DP Here’s my response: - there’s no information about reported crime versus arrest rates at Notting Hill - I should’ve multiplied it by 100 rather than 1000 ( ED 12,000 Notting Hill Carnival 1200000 ) apologies - I’m now limiting my comments to sex crimes and violent crimes 17 in Notting Hill in three days - In ED, there were 20 sex crimes and violent crimes in a month. (Average) - if I’m multiply that by 100 that should give me how many such crimes amongst 1.2 million people = 20X100 =2000 I’m now dividing that by 10 to give a three day total for Notting Hill Carnival to have crime at the same level of East Dulwich; so there should be 200 reported sex and violent crimes at the Notting Hill carnival but I do not have the statistics for that. There were 17 arrests for sex crimes and violent crimes. Yes, the gap between reported and arrest is a massive problem especially in sex crimes.

Putting your Notting Hill crime stat in perspective DKB. There’s an average of about 20 violent crimes a month in East Dulwich with a population of 12,000. If our crime rate here in East Dulwich was extrapolated to Notting Hill There would’ve been 20,000 violent crimes in a month which roughly works out at 6600 in the 3 days of carnival. I am happy to be made aware of any mathematical flaws in my calculations

Yes much faster

the reference library is always packed - using one of the little used 'meeting' rooms' would be great for the 12- 16s homework

One thread is just not enough for you lot

repetition of untruths. Doesn’t change the number of cars travelling down under Hill Road.
