    It looks poorly cared for - no collar, long fur, underfed - so I hope the owner is found and makes every effort to care for it properly. Shameful

    And put an elasticated collar with bell on your cat so that needless deaths and maimings of small birds/mammals be avoided.

    I think the council doesn’t make money from these events, other than enough to break even and to host more. It’s self-sufficiency, kind of thing.

    Sparrow hawk? I think they’re more common than the other two but I’m not an expert.

    Why mention skin tone? There are plenty of examples of middle- and working-class people of all heritages and the festival will attract all kinds of people and all kinds of people are capable of being good or bad citizens.
  6. Nigello
    No - they were sitting on a bench.

    Or it could be that unscrupulous firms were taking advantage of the facility which is funded by taxpayers and run by a council that has to work within finite means?

    So, it will be left to rot? I’d like it to be removed after a week or so. Give me nature over plastic gaudiness any day.

    It’s not gentrification to do a basic clean up and keep it so. It’s just bog-standard, base-level civility and respect. To deny that to the residents is wrong, especially if such lack of action is based on a desire to keep it “edgy” to attract drinkers, diners and shoppers, especially those with more money and/or come from outside the area.

    The two big bins at the crossing near North X Rd and the little one at the bus stop nearby have gone. Seems odd, given they were often full of rubbish. I reported it on Fix My Street. (On another note, crow-proof bins do exist and would be very handy!)

    It’s a positive attribute, especially when faced with the very punter-unfriendly absence of interest and input from the council re the locale. Good on them, but their profits could be bigger if the area they find themselves in were improved.
  12. Nigello
    Yeah, that’s not my point. I explained that the locale is in unpleasant and uncared for, not the businesses (which I called “valiant” so you could deduce I was not against them at all but maybe you didn’t see that. I think they need support from the council in the shape of a sprucing up).
  13. Nigello
    Why would anyone choose to go and eat on Rye Lane? It’s a dump and could be so much better (and lucrative) for all the valiant entrepreneurs if the council could take it upon itself to help this neglected (and poorer) area of the borough.
  14. Nigello
    Take it back to the person in question. Tell him/her to expect a summons. It probably won’t happen again.

    They’re annoying in that they’re usually in threes and dominate that busy corner.
  16. Nigello
    Maybe - or a sparrowhawk or buzzard? V fast
  17. Nigello
    A raptor shot into my back garden for a wood pigeon, which managed to get away before it was grabbed. It was very fast and the hawk was smaller than I’d thought it would be, with mid- and dark-brown feathers. Kite?

    Why not watch a video? I know it’s not the same but it saves such grotesque waste.
  19. Nigello
    And they can put an elasticated collar with bell attached on him so it will make it harder for him to kill or maim birds (which all cat owners should do).
  20. Nigello
    Shuttered, to mean shut/closed/went out of business. (Horrid term, horrid things)
  21. Nigello
    Posh mummies and daddies with all the gear (gold helmets, trendy jackets, paniers fore and aft) love to brandish the kiddywinks they carry as a kind of carte blanche to cycle on footpaths, even when they’re right next to a cycle lane and/or a LTN. Resist! (Lycra-clad “professionals”, though, are often courteous and law-abiding, stopping at zebras and knowing their place is on the road and not the pavement.)
  22. Nigello
    Where?
  23. Nigello
    Please post a number for humble taxpayers to speak to a real person, if you have one. Emails go unanswered and phone calls via the switchboard likewise.
  24. Nigello
    Peckham Centre is neglected by council members, householders and business owners alike, to varying degrees. It needs attention and money and if this development helps it become cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming I’m in favour.
  25. Nigello
    .. is to close.
