Gen17, I think I love you.

Anytime I've gone in there I've regretted it, because I dont like the guy... :\

Oh that sounds hopeful! And after all these years, please can we get restoring it, before it really is too late? If I win the lottery this week, I'll chip in ???s. But, seriously, is there a way we could try and get funding to restore it? There must be a Houses in Need trust or something!

We've always been strangely attatched to the house, I even have an arty photograph of it framed in my bedroom...! Surely some of you have got to admit there is a strange beauty attatched to the house? It's become a Dulwich Landmark, not an eyesore. I really can't believe it's still not being rescued.

My family are selling the house, and we've had about four viewings in three months and have dropped the price by ?60,000... and still nothing.

Wow, that's an excellent photo! Thanks! I live in one of the post-ww1 houses and that's the nearest I'll get to seeing a photo of our stretch I suppose... There's apparantly a large tunnel that runs underneath our houses, but all my research points to nothing...!

Macroban, do you have any photos of the library end of Lordship Lane. Maybe even the houses on the library/church side of the road towards the Court Lane junction? I've been looking for YEARS and have failed dramatically! You always seem to have the goods!

I have never seen or heard of this man....

The direct trains are a bit too early for my commute and any time I've got the train to Tulse Hill and then the train to Wimbledon, I find that the trains are nearly ALWAYS delayed, so if I miss one of the trains to Tulse Hill/its delayed and get to Tulse Hill, the Wimbledon trains only run once every half an hour, and that's half an hour of waiting I've had to do too many times in the rain whilst holding big black bags of art work. Commuting is made 10x worse when you're a design student! And yesterday all the trains were cancelled/delayed forever! I waited at Wimbledon station for the 18:20 back to Dulwich, and it never came... Hoards of very annoyed looking people, scrambling for a new route home. I just got on the train back to Vauxhall. My patience with first capital connect/southern ran out after my first week at university.

I study in Wimbledon, so 185 to Vauxhall (about an hour) then train from there to Wimbledon (15 mins) then a 20 minute walk to uni. Then I go to work in the West End and that takes 45 mins on the tube and train, then 176 home from Leicester Sq and that can take up to an hour at 11pm at night! Unfortunately, my commute is so drastic, I'm leaving ED for the first time in my life and moving to Wimbledon :(

Well, there ALWAYS seems to be server problems with AOL... Urgh..

My 14 year old brother is being followed a lot, has had bikes and phones, even his coat stolen on MANY occasions. The police have done nothing, despite it happenning again and again on his commute to school and back. He even knows who the culprits are, but the police won't do anything...

I think we're prone to odd weather as opposed to strange earthmovements! My friend said he felt the earthquake, CDs fell from his shelf, yet my boyfrind and his flatmate felt absoloutely nothing! I suppose when it comes to Lewisham it all depends on how many CDs you own to measure the magnitude of truly British earthquake. I was also drinking at 1am (also gin!) but consuming cheese on toast (mozzarella). I wonder if cheese on toast buffers earthquakes...

Nothing on Lordship Lane. Lewisham friends say they felt it though!

Going to work I get the 176 (or 40) to Elephant, then get the Bakerloo Line to Piccadilly Circus... but get the 176 home as I work late. I waited 45 minutes tonight. With the flu. Am not pleased. I swear it's getting worse night by night. And what's wrong with it on Saturdays?! I have to leave at noon to get to Soho for 2pm because there are just no buses! And when they do arrive they usually terminate in Camberwell or just take forever...! I have a lot of built up hate for that bus. Handy at 3am. Not any other hour of the day.
