I know there were riots in 2011.. > > Foxy In 2011 I was having a drink - then all the pubs all shut, thrown onto the street - barricade of police at the bottom of Rye Lane so couldn't get home so had to wander. A load of boys had broken into Tesco on East Dulwich road and were sharing out beer amongst themselves - I really wanted to take photos (worked for a media company then) - but it would have provoked them. Strangely not a very threatening atmosphere - just chaotic. Not really history though (2011).

Absolute joke of a refereeing performance at Swansea yesterday. I think Curtis will have to retire through stress - he was just beginning to enjoy it too :)

Well looks like the World Medical Association has given support to the junior Doctors now. Not that the Government will care.

I generally support NHS workers. But my work colleagues general consensus is how can anyone strike in this day and age. You get higher wages by moving on - so you need private negotiation to create a wage market. You never ever get higher wages in the job you're in - other than cost of living increases sometimes.

It is difficult driving around East Dulwich/Peckham until you know the layout. Sometimes counterintuitive.

Actually seeing the above thread - maybe it's all those famous people in Sainsburys ;)

Happened to me once - over-revved the car in annoyance after 30 minutes in a queue and it made a hideous smell and almost broke the cat - but once out wasn't to bothered. No point in holding on to the annoyance of a queue :) But Why does the pedestrian crossing go red as I exit.

Here's a freedom of Information request made by a person remarked on above back in 2010 https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/yellow_box_junction_size I noted "A total of 3,048 PCNs were issued in the Peckham/High St/Peckham Bus station for contraventions between 5 January 2010 until 21 August 2010."

Workmen had the front of "John the Unicorn" open this morning. Maybe putting in windows or such. Still doesn't look like a bar inside yet.

Maybe they will take/took some time to get the traffic light sequences right. or maybe there are still NY stragglers.

Agreed - I'd be happy if that progressed. But Summer will fall back to Autumn I guess (usually does).

Can't a big plaque be put up with all the removed names and dates listed (taking up a corner or such) ? and the old graves documented and photographed.

What do the current residents of OKR think about "impending" gentrification and speculation. Will people be forced out, will there be compulsory purchase ?

Yes - nothing against festivals - but if it was fenced off for a while then the local community has to benefit. They fence off quite a large bit at Clapham (Clapham Common is big though).

Seen as mugger tunnels - but I never had an issue. I walked across the road and dodged traffic to get to the Rockingham Arms. Seemed to be no Pedestrian Crossings yet - Won't do that again :)

Nah Malumbo -no frostbite - just loads of rain (I think the next one is called Gertrude).

The guy/girl who says nothing all bus journey but as the door opens to get out strikes up a conversation with a long lost mate whilst everyone waits to move on :)

This is perfectly achievable . This does to some extent show why the Bussey made such a big thing of the 133 Rye Lane development and Canavan's the same now.

Signed.
