  1. To be fair, there has been a significant increase in demand for both junior and senior school places in the area. The state sector has increased capacity with whole new schools being built and some existing schools increasing intake from 2 form to 3 form entry. Although the independent system is unpopular with some, as it stands there is no compelling reason why the independent sector should not also increase capacity. There is an issue though with volume of traffic and a worrying level of inconsiderate and dangerous driving and parking around these schools though. As has been mentioned already, the nature of these schools means a higher proportion travel in, plus they are more likely to have siblings attending different schools which means it?s more likely they are driven to school, so most of the issues that also exist at local state schools are multiplied. I believe the council are looking closely at traffic management specifically around Calton and Townley Road. I hope they are bold enough to implement the solutions that are needed to address this quite serious problem.
  2. Shame, but they were outgunned by Voodoo Ray which opened opposite shortly after they did. There never used be many places to get decent pizza round here, but now there are quite a few so competition is tough. I went in there a couple of times, and it was absolutely fine, but didn?t really have a USP
  3. The new EBay ad uses Dulwich College and Dulwich Pk as locations.
  4. We have never done Open House before, but were walking along the Thames path this Saturday and stumbled across this house. It's an amazing house and I would love to know more about it, I don't think I have been anywhere like it before. And at the risk of being crude, it must be worth an absolute fortune!

    I have heard that Chernobyl is good too, but isn't it Sky only? Just started with Catch 22 last night on C4. The catch-up offer on their website is good, goes back a lot further than the one accessed by TV and the picture is decent.
  6. To be fair, they are pretty much all variations on their given names, most commonly using their middle name instead of the first name. As for George Osborne, if my parents had called me Gideon, I'm not sure it would have taken me as long as that to change it by deed-poll.
  7. He is often in the news - not only when he's facing legal proceedings - and they always mention that his real name is... SYL He is a recent example: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/may/02/tommy-robinson-doused-in-milkshake-for-second-time-in-two-days
  8. Why is it that the news media always call him Tommy Robinson, but then without fail state that his real name is SYL within a couple of lines? There are plenty of other people in public life who operate under an assumed name that they don?t do this for:
  9. As much as you might like a Wetherspoons in ED, I don?t think pubs come into being via a petition normally, do they? Particularly not if there is a tenant already running a viable business in those premises.
  10. "Anymore snowflake comments in this thread & you wont get a response out of me" Is that a promise?
  11. That's fake news, RRR - I don't think you'll find any Brexiters dumb enough to fall for that sort of carry on!!
  12. Bang on. It's a criminal charge surely if there is the evidence and public interest justification to pursue it.
  13. 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/
  14. 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.
  15. This sounds great Lee, where can we find more info about this? I tried Googling it but couldn?t find anything.
  16. I have never heard of Generation Identity I consume a fair amount of BBC News Media
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. It's been in Dulwich, and also Peckham recently - why do they like it round here so much?
  20. Is this actually happening though??
  21. Yes, if you witness an adult assaulting a child, you should report that to the police

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