And yes! Hamlet's game v Carlisle Utd is going to be live on BBC2 on the evening of Fri November 8th. That's going to be some night... No news on ticket allocations yet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000b2sb

Just had a report of a pheasant on the St Olave's playing fields next to Green Dale cycle path. The East Dulwich Shoot will convene at 4pm. Volunteer beaters required...

Wow! That should cover the 'leccy bill :)

Hamlet have a First Round home tie against League Two side Carlisle Utd. A great draw... Exact date and time tbc, but this would make an attractive live TV prospect.

A tremendous 2-1 win for Hamlet at Havant & Waterlooville sees them into the FA Cup First Round for the first time in 20 years. The draw will take place live on BBC Two on Monday evening at 7.10pm.

Some amazing field mushrooms on Peckham Rye just over the road from Harris Boys'. Also quite a few clumps of 'liberty cap' magic mushrooms in the grass near Homestall Road. Having the former for lunch and leaving the latter alone :)

They did ? it was my first game at Champion Hill. They lost 1-0.

The 'law changes' are the very welcome ones that try to stop them from ruining vulnerable people's finances and lives with their fixed odds betting terminals. Good riddance, I say. If there were to be a Waitrose on either of those sites, surely it would on the 'Little Waitrose' model, though as ed_pete points out, still very handy for having John Lewis stuff delivered locally for free.

Well, it was a William Hill, which didn't exactly add sparkle and vibrancy.

There's one on Upland Rd / Hindmans Road next to the corner shop

Hmmm, Millwall fan... in East Dulwich... not tall... likes a drink? It's Foxy! ;)

Yes, in fact that tree split and toppled over last year. The council then tidied it up and I was glad they didn't remove it entirely. Its sibling weeping willow next to the road is looking fabulous.

You might want to watch this excellent little film (and the others in the series) about gentrification / regeneration in Peckham. It gives a more nuanced view from long-term residents than some of the ones on display on this thread:

I've only been to a 'chain' Bill's and it was poor ? bland food, small portions and painfully overpriced. Decor's friendly, I s'pose... Style over substance.

goldilocks posted that Dulwich Tandoori was 'empty'. It's not. It's full most nights :)

I just have fish from Emily's, which is fine.

Yes, they only come here to breed. Extraordinary birds... "Youngsters are independent as soon as they leave the nest, and set out immediately on migration. Swifts start their return journey in mid July, before nights become too cool. They can?t roost overnight during the journey, like swallows do, so they travel quickly. One young swift that left its UK nest on 31 July, was found in Madrid (Spain) on 3 August." https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/natures-home-magazine/birds-and-wildlife-articles/migration/migratory-bird-stories/swift-migration/

I think the swifts are now on their way back to Africa. It's extraordinary that they only spend about three months here, coming all this way to breed and then return. Amazing birds.

No, Meadow haven't nabbed the astroturf. It's owned by Southwark Council (who took back the lease from Meadow last year) and currently leased to the football club. DHFC and Meadow have put in a 'joint' planning application covering both the housing on the current ground's plot and a stadium for Green Dale. For full info, here's the thread: /forum/read.php?5,2011806 And here's the planning application (as yet not validated, ie no dates with regards to decisions, responses etc): https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=_STHWR_DCAPR_9583549&activeTab=summary When I've had time to digest it, I'll post my responses on the other thread.

Services are back to normal

A trackside fire near Queens Rd Peckham has meant all trains through ED are cancelled

The DHFC / Meadow planning application for a new stadium and housing is now online on Southwark's planning site, but it hasn't been validated yet, so there are no dates with regard to responses, decision deadlines etc: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=_STHWR_DCAPR_9583549&activeTab=summary

There are hedgehogs on Green Dale fields and around Dog Kennel Hill Wood. But they're very elusive :)
