Formal consultation is now open (until August 11th) concerning the planning application for the proposed health centre on East Dulwich Grove. All relevant documents etc are on Southwark?s planning site: http://planbuild.southwark.gov.uk:8190/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=_STHWR_DCAPR_9567485 16/AP/2747 | Erection of a health centre within a part 2, part 3-storey building to accommodate medical services and related uses (Use Class D1), access, parking and servicing areas, hard and soft landscaping and associated groundworks. | DULWICH HOSPITAL, EAST DULWICH GROVE, LONDON, SE22 8PT Although this and the proposed school are on the same large site, there are different issues involving each planning application, so I've posted the details in two separate threads. One initial observation ? there's not much time in which to respond to either application, especially with people away on holiday.

Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

I think Louisa means the particular use of it, when the "Wow!" is addressed as if to an invisible friend, suggesting, "I'm astonished that my parents have the cheek to ask me not to do that" etc. It is very annoying. -

Southwark Council has extended leIsure centre opening hours to 10pm as from july 31st. Good news. http://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/southwark-council-extends-leisure-centre-opening-times/ -

Southwark News reported it as ?1m for the park revamp. It's difficult to say where all that came from, as it was bundled up in the ?13m revamp of Camberwell including the library etc. TFL certainly gave a slice for the whole scheme, but I'm pretty sure most of that million for the Green would have come from Southwark's Parks And Open Spaces budget. They certainly took the credit for it :-)

No you can't. There were security people there on Tuesday for the friendly v Charlton. They were checking bags for booze. I think the club doesn't want to upset the council, given that they're looking to get a licence for an outside bar to relieve congestion in the main bar. In addition to tomorrow afternoon's friendly against Millwall, there's one against Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening. The other pre-seasons are away.

Please be reassured I'm not one of those people. I was merely mentioning that I'd be away and so wouldn't be able to attend one of their pointless and dull meetings. And yes, the 'sleeps' thing enrages me too. Must cool down... -

The inevitable question when telling a colleague that I'll be going on holiday: "Anywhere nice?" Er, no, I'm going somewhere horrible. -

But isn't Brexit the mandate, unwelcome though that might be? Otherwise we'd have had the absurd position of Cameron staying on as he'd got a 'mandate' last year, but having to carry out a fundamental policy with which he profoundly disagreed. I suspect most people calling for an election simply want to overturn the result of the referendum ? which wasn't sprung on the country as a surprise, but was part and parcel of the Tory manifesto.

If your Oyster is registered, you can get a full pdf statement of your journey details online. Works with a monthly card as well as PAYG. -

Wait a minute, one minute you want to calm it, now you want to 'sort out' the congestion? Which one is it? This is a recipe for spending money on every road that doesn't have some notional ideal speed. Madness. Let's not spend the shrinking council cashpile on stuff that doesn't need doing.

Quickest way to Wembley stadium from ED?

I'd go train to London Bridge then Jubilee Line to Wembley Park. -

No necessarily. Knowing how Fusion are run, they probably didn't cooperate at all in the handover, in which case there's nothing much the new company can do. -

Speechless. Makes me quite glad I've got used to not going there given how long it's been shut.

Another top notch old school boozer down the pan
BrandNewGuy replied to Louisa's topic in The Lounge
I've always been fond of Orwell's perfect (and therefore non-existent) pub, The Moon Under Water, as described in this essay more than 70 years ago: http://theorwellprize.co.uk/george-orwell/by-orwell/essays-and-other-works/the-moon-under-water/ Much as I lament the demise of the 'old school' boozer, I'd prefer Orwell's pub ? with the perhaps surprising inclusion of the provision of lunches and a garden at the back for kids to play in. Perhaps many of Orwell's generation lamented the loss of their own 'old school' boozers in the 70s and 80s. In reality, it's the closure of pubs that is the real tragedy, but as long as they survive, they can change - for better or worse. -
Anyone up to create a new East Dulwich Brewery?
BrandNewGuy replied to James Barber's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Clarkshaws moved because the rent was considerably cheaper for their railway arch in Loughborough Junction than for their former unit on Tyrrell Trading Estate. The small brewery model in London seems to be closeley tied in with using relatively cheap railway arch premises ? something ED is lacking. So unless there's cheap rent, it's not going to happen, unfortunately. -

Well, if you go there and drink enough bottles of Manns they won't be tempted ;-)
