  1. I wonder what you might be basing those musings on? Please share. JAGS, JAPS and Alleyns all face out onto EDG, Alleyns has a playground that is directly adjacent to it, so they would be feeling any disbenefit in equal (as can be roughly measured) proportion. Proportionately and absolutely, far more children from the local state schools live within realistic 'active travel' distance, so I would think more are enjoying the benefits to a greater extent. There are all sorts arguments both for and against the LTNs in Dulwich, but this particular narrative just seems like grift to me. legalalien Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Just musing on the idea that the active travel > benefits may have disproportionately benefited > children at the independent and more affluent > schools (and the air pollution from displaced > traffic disproportionately affected some of the > less affluent ones).

  2. Pretty sure that's right. It's the section up by Calton that you can't drive through. Although your preferred rout being busy probably wouldn't stand up as an appeal argument if you did get a ticket.
  3. https://www.whirledcinema.com/ Might be a good option for you.
  4. What's wrong with Americano?
  5. Are they tall normally? Ours is just slightly taller than the bikes we have... Admittedly, mine is a Penny Farthing, but still
  6. Thank you. I did a bit more reading up, and it seems there is no track record of LB councils pursuing people over this for standard styles bike sheds. In my case, it also appears that once it's been there for four years consent is deemed to have been given. So I shall rest easy tonight.
  7. Gutted - what a scumbag.
  8. Oh okay.. how do you delete a post on here?
  9. Say what now...? You need planning permission to put a freestanding bike shed on your frontage? Is that right? We have one, but didn't get PP first. Please don't bolt me up for this fellow forumites.
  10. But don't other areas of Southwark already have LTNs in one form or other?
  11. Nice!
  12. Oooh - that picture isn't a Champion Hill tho is it?
  13. Yes, that is quite inaccurate. Almost half (46%) of female homicides are domestic violence related. In year ending March 2020, 154 male homicides were perpetrated by a stranger, plus another 29 where no suspect has been charged. There was a total of 188 murders of females in the same period. If you are male, you are more likely to be murdered by someone you have never met, not the other way round. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/articles/homicideinenglandandwales/yearendingmarch2020
  14. Still queueing now all the way back to the station. This is at 12:45 am
  15. You got your wish?
  16. Usyk is a former unified belt-holder and has never lost a professional fight. AJ's camp will not be underestimating him. Size will confer one advantage, but there is plenty more to it than that. That said, I still fancy AJ for it.
  17. We really do not need yet another thread on this.
  18. If you look at the fixture list you'll see the home fixtures are relatively infrequent. https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/teams/56196/fixtures-results In October, there will be two Saturday games and one Tuesday evening*. There will be some noise associated with that, but you may even find it quite warming - it's quite a wholesome club. * This is for the men's first team. The ladies' team and under 18's I think also have fixtures there, but don't currently draw comparable crowds
  19. The Esso garage just past the Horniman sell this now too
  20. I may be mistaken, but I didn't think that East Dulwich Ward existed any more since the last election. Which councillors are you referring to?
  21. It's not very comforting to the victim of a violent crime though is it?
  22. I'm not certain online grocery ordering increases congestion. If the routes are planned properly, I would have though the opposite would happen. I would support a change in legislation to make it compulsory to charge delivery at cost (minimum) on orders less than ?100. It's far too easy to order small, low-value on Amazon Prime knowing they'll be delivered the next day with no charge.
  23. Thanks for the heads-up. What a horrible experience, I hope your wife is okay.

    nunhead

    It's not a village. I never knew that the Ivy House had once been known as The Newlands Tavern. You see Newlands on maps sometimes but other than the Newlands Academy, I have never heard anyone refer to that part of Nunhead as such.
