So is it a private leak or not?

On the BBC News just now: "... in the exact same spot." What's wrong with "... in exactly the same spot"? Probably doesn't sound informal and American enough for modern tastes. Bah, humbug!

I've always understood "junk mail" to mean mass-marketed direct mail through the post, which of course the Royal Mail is obliged to deliver, rather than flyers, brochures and leaflets. And I agree, if it's useful information then deliver it.

"I'm just getting off of the train." No, you're getting off it - off the train. Save the "of" for a rainy day.

I've looked through the evening services proposed and the frequency is four an hour, as it is now. So apart from those post-23.00 services (which are subject to further consultation), service frequency is either increasing (peak) or staying the same (offpeak). Cllr. Barber on Twitter is talking about 'slashing trains' to ED. Am I missing something?

Rush hour services proposed: ED -> LB dep. 07.23, 07.32, 07.38, 07.53, 08.02, 08.08, 08.23, 08.32, 08.38, 08.53 LB -> ED dep. 16.44, 16.52, 17.01, 17.14, 17.22, 17.31, 17.44, 17.52, 18.01, 18.14, 18.22, 18.31 Offpeak daytime services look to have the same frequncy as now.

If you click on 'Later trains' there is a 23.54 scheduled. And it says that late night services are subject to further consultation.

Come and join the pink and blue travelling contingent :-) Leiston (away) Aug 26 Lowestoft Town (away) Feb 10 Needham Market (away) Mar 24

The good news: Dulwich Hamlet's first home game of the season is tonight ? a friendly against Crawley Town, kick off 7.45. The not-so-good news: it's ?11 to get in (?5 concs), which I think is daft.

I went straight to the door when the fishman came ? didn't want to keep him whiting.

It is, but presumably it has to show up at some point for accounting purposes.

Thanks. Next time someone mentions the housing crisis to me, I'll just say, "Supply and demand." Conversation over.

Unless you are personally a neighbour and see the physical application on a lamppost, there might be no way that you get to find out about an application. Southwark's online planning portal is utterly unreliable ? I'm signed up to receive new or amended planning applications for one or two postcodes and it only alerts me to a fraction of them. Southwark show little interest in putting it right.

None of these will be 'affordable', so it will do nothing to help homelessness or affordability.

Developers want to block off part of the proposed Coal Line path with an inappropriate development ? where the Peckham Spike project used to be. The New Southwark Plan proposes safeguarding a route through the area for the Coal Line, which this development would make impossible. If you wish to object, you only have until Saturday 15th July to do so. More here: http://www.peckhamcoalline.org/blog/urgent-the-coal-line-is-under-threat-from-developers

Formally, yes it is. Meadow Residential (and before them Hadley) have said that they will immediately buy out his stake if and when their planning application succeeds. But having sorted out the club's debts, the developers control the running of the club and Nick takes no part in it.

Nice bit of business for DHFC in the sale of Ethan Pinnock ? earlier figures quoted were, I believe, way off the mark, but anything like a ?50,000 'windfall' is very good news for the club: https://www.londonnewsonline.co.uk/26867/dulwich-hamlet-set-bank-50000-defenders-switch-barnsley/ Perhaps less welcome is the suggestion from an 'insider' on the Urban75 DHFC forum that any sell-on fee money will go straight to Meadow Residential, the property developers who control the club, rather than directly to the football club itself. This seems to be in contrast to the details given last year about the club's financial structure that suggested that all transfer-related and directly football-related monies went to the football club: "Dulwich Hamlet FC Ltd - Owned by Nick McCormack, run by Meadow Residential - Receives all match day income, (except for the Bar income) - Receives FA prize money and Transfer fees - Receives all Sponsorship" The reason I bring it up here is because the suggested parlous financial state of the club has been a major part of Meadow Residential's (and previously Hadley's) argument for the proposed stadium move and ground redevelopment. As with the queries about increased gate receipts and proper club accounting, I hope that this sell-on fee isn't kept obscure for the sake of talking down the club's current position. Financial transparency would get rid of any lingering doubts either way, but I'm not holding my breath. Similarly, and it's a trivial point, but I was irked by the detail from the club committee that its allocation of FA Cup final tickets was taken up by Meadow Residential rather than the club itself. A small matter, but one that smacks of 'droit de seigneur'...

There's no problem getting on the 8.30 at the moment. A seat or two free in most carriages and plenty of standing room.

Well industrial action then. But you're suggesting that ED is a poor place to live because of its transport connections. Our transport connections IMHO are fine. When they're disrupted, they're not. Same as anywhere else.

Of course the strike isn't going to last forever :-)

But that's industrial action, not a long-term change in the service. It makes sense to timetable the effects of industrial action for as long as it lasts.
