  1. Bang on. It's a criminal charge surely if there is the evidence and public interest justification to pursue it.
  2. I think the Sunday and the Monday are separate events, so the ?60 ticket is just for Gala on the Sunday. Tickets still seem to be available for Jam on the Rye, which is the one Kelis is performing at. That finishes at 10:00 pm. https://www.kerbfood.com/jam-on-rye-festival-2019/
  3. Lots of new restaurants have opened in Peckham during that time, many of them are very good. There is only so much trade to round.
  4. This sounds great Lee, where can we find more info about this? I tried Googling it but couldn?t find anything.
  5. I have never heard of Generation Identity I consume a fair amount of BBC News Media
  6. I like Danny Baker, he's very good at his job. But no-one is going to stay working at the Beeb after posting that, and rightly so. I recognise he almost certainly didn't mean it that way, but he should have known better.
  7. https://inkhead.co.uk/team-details/dizz-tate/ Hi there, we used a firm called Inkhead a couple of years ago and the tutor they provided was excellent. We were looking specifically for help with creative writing, but there was some comprehension stuff in there too.
  8. It's been in Dulwich, and also Peckham recently - why do they like it round here so much?
  9. Is this actually happening though??
  10. Yes, if you witness an adult assaulting a child, you should report that to the police

  12. Why don't you weigh a bag in store, and if it is under 2KG, complain in the store?
  13. You did say you can't comment, then went on to do exactly that...
  14. I'm not certain what basis you have for assuming the OP was parked too near the traffic island...

I would strongly recommend that this issue is reported to the council every time. They will come round and clear it up. Hopefully, the more council resource is used dealing with this disgusting, anti-social behavior, the more inclined the council will be to proactively enforce the existing legislation which prohibits this.
  16. > > Time to get rid of Taxing Labour Southwark > council The time to do that would have been at the election that was held less than a year ago, the voting public of Southwark don't seem to share your view
  17. I think they became tax exiles as they felt the marginal rate of tax of 95% was a bit high. "there's one for you, nineteen for me" I'd be inclined to sympathise although don't think I would have written a song moaning about it :)
  18. Thanks Bels123 I will be coming along.

Hi Sally, not sure if I understood this post. Are you saying I might be lying about being a Bessemer parent? That's a bit perplexing to say the least, unless I have misconstrued what you are saying there. But yes, I am a BG parent, we do not live in the immediate vicinity and yes my kids and I ride bicycles to school and then I continue on to work in London. Hope that gives my perspective the clarity and context needed.
  20. I'm a Bessemer Parent; I am delighted with the road closure and would recommend the initiative being deployed at other schools where practical. From what I can see, the school tried several methods over a sustained period of time to protect the children from the inconsiderate and dangerous habits of a minority of parent drivers. This seems to be the only thing that has been effective. From what I notice, there hasn't been a massive shift in parking issues to surrounding roads. Parking around there has always been tight and remains so (I guess that's part of the reason some people park illegally by the school). But as I continue my onward journey up Woodfarrs or Dylways, there generally seem to be some spaces available. Further, the number of legal spaces in the closed area is minimal as most of it is covered by the school zig-zags. With regards to the school's expansion and the distance that parents travel; according to the 2017 intake data, it's oversubscribed (the most-applied for school in the borough) and the furthest distance offered was 1223 metres. So the number of parents travelling from distance should be reducing, not the other way round.
  21. Thank you so much, BusyRabbit - this is a s good as the EDF gets! I learnt two new words also, calico and prolix
  22. I can also recommend Athenlay - it is very welcoming for boys and girls who want to play football from a young age, and also has the option to progress into a team and play matches in the Selkent League.
  23. Not especially, but I will make this my last post on this thread, as much as I stand by what I said above, I have no desire to lurk around where I'm not wanted. Happy and safe curry clubbing :)
