  1. No idea It could well be a few residents who have stumped up a small amount of cash and some of them could have skills in design and so on. Most of the original members were based in the village so I suspect no shortage of skills or money. Or are you concerned that they have funding via the council which would be typically ironic if it was true.

  4. I'm not sure if I can blame the royal mail or the charities involved but during lockdown I've adopted a Tiger, 2 Donkeys and a huddle of Penguins and not one of them has arrived through the post yet. The smell in the sorting office must be driving the staff mad by now !
  5. "Next Southwark is planning to make Peckham Rye east side (the bit by the Rye pub) cycle & bus only" How will this work as the only way to go to Nunhead if you come from the direction of Forest Hill (including if you come along Barry Road) is to go to the turn at the coop building in Peckham, come back on yourself and the go along the east side and turn left towards Nunhead Equally if you are coming from the Copeland Road direction and want to go to East Dulwich Road (or beyond) you can't currently turn left or right at the East Dulwich Road / Peckham Rye junction so you have to go along the east side, turn right at the lights and approach the junction that way. Closing of the east side will cause major issues going anywhere which will see cars being forced to use side roads to get to their destination. Very badly thought through by the council as it is systematically cutting East Dulwich off from its neighbouring areas without thinking of the impacts on other roads or how the disabled and elderly will travel. Let's prey what you you suggest above simply isn't true.

  8. Perfect summary Rockets And the comment about mCASH being missing in action is spot on
  9. I wonder what new tactic the scam callers will use when the council gets their way and no one can drive so none of us will be involved in accidents ?
  10. I just had a call (automated) telling me they've been informed I've been involved in an accident is this correct ? "Yes" I said When did this happen ? "Yesterday" I said I'm just transferring you to my supervisor the automated voice said who then asked what happened "I'm in hospital now after a bus ran over my leg and they amputated it this morning" I moaned Then (and this is classic) the supervisor said "thank you for making it up" and hung up on me Classic
  11. That's age springtime And you could get two ten penny chews for a shinny new penny 😃

Depends if you mean the original or remake I guess ?
  14. Two friends try to be scary but aren't
  15. Some price rises are down to suppliers increasing their costs and not the business trying to get extra income. It's a tricky one to judge and different stores may charge different prices depending on their stock levels and when they get a delivery (supplier prices may go down as demand decreases or up if supplier stock levels are low ) So before you judge a store / business make sure it is them and not the supply chain
  16. A nomad solves a dispute about gasoline
  17. Old man ties balloons to his house then goes on a long overdue holiday
  18. Husband attends worst office Christmas party ever (Still one of my all time favourite Christmas movies)
  19. Child helped to get over fear of ghosts by RED

  22. Two brothers go on a family RV trip to bloody Mexican bar
  23. Boy helps new friend make long distance call
  24. I'll confess to plagiarising this idea. Can you describe your favorite movie as boringly as possible? An example I saw was "5 kids stuck in the school library all day." (the breakfast club)
  25. Thanks James If I remember correctly, the rising bollards were installed by the then Peckham Programme team (thankfully now disbanded) after their town centre manager went to see it in operation in Oxford. The difference was Oxfordshire drivers respected the bollards that lowered to let buses through and the Peckham drivers believed they could drive over them by tailgating buses. Quite a few cars were wrecked if I remember correctly so a very expensive but badly thought through scheme failed and cost even more to remove a few years later. You would hope that the transport team in the council would have learnt how not to waste our money by now but hey ho Really don't understand why they just don't something like widen the pavements with passing points and loading bays built in then allow buses only and a limited permit managed no of delivery vehicles to traverse what would effectively by a single track road where buses pause in the passing bays to let each other pass. (A sort of extension of the scheme outside the section at the Aylsham centre) Of course a scheme like this would need proper consultation but it could boost night time and restaurant economy by allowing tables to use the wider pavements outside core shopping hours
