I use the word "fascists" to describe the fascists who have previously attended these events. Hope this helps. https://twitter.com/simonchilds13/status/1629468513839599616?s=20 https://news.sky.com/story/tate-britain-protesters-clash-over-drag-queen-story-time-at-london-art-gallery-12808361 https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5yqgx/patriotic-alternative-split-homeland

Yes, an increase in parking permit fees is exactly like being a victim of Stalinist terror. It must be awful to live in fear of starvation or summary execution by roving Conway gangs. Everyone keeps talking about commemorating the Holodomor, but where's the memorial for you?

Unfortunately fascists tend to be annoyingly persistent. They're not like spaniels that will just lose interest if you ignore them for long enough.

Clearly the solution is to add a second southbound lane to Peckham Rye. And a northbound lane too. Practically no-one walks along that strip of grass anyway. In fact, if the council were a bit more ambitious, the whole park could be converted into a high speed roundabout like Elephant and Castle 👍

Better than police-related dogging, I spose

Why bother? It's a huge company. It'd be a waste of my time (on top of the time wasted by them getting the orders wrong in the first place)... 🤷‍♂️

Mostly the amount of old toot you talk! 🤣 But, to be fair, okay, please do share more about your experience of opening and running profitable butchers and cafes.

Christ on a bike. I'm not the biggest fan of the police, but none of us have any idea why the cops were there. They don't sound like they were telling OP off for anything, and there's no reason to assume they were only there to tell off dog walkers. None of us know that they weren't simply there doing a bit of patrolling in between more urgent calls.

Not only that, but a Japanese restaurant two doors down from...another Japanese restaurant. The last time I went to Wagamama in town (a colleague chose) they got our orders completely wrong, and the place was empty.

It's not really new, but Organic Village has reopened after its renovation.

Most of the bread (and meat for that matter) market is held by supermarkets and convenience stores. @Ken78: if butchery is such a ripoff, you should open one up. (That is, after you've opened your cafe, as you've said before that's a high profit margin industry with easy money in it).

I don't know about soup kitchens, Ken, I think the nearest one is on Coldharbour Lane. But I know food banks already operate in this neighbourhood. In fact, there are more food banks than McDonalds in this country. It's one of the legacies of Tory austerity that so many are needed. I think I'll save my good luck wishes for those who need food banks, not politicians that get houses for free, like you, Ken. You wouldn't have thought Johnson moving to Herne Hill will bring Dulwich downmarket - but he did manage to bring the whole country downmarket, so anything is possible... https://www.businessinsider.com/cost-of-living-there-are-more-food-banks-mcdonalds-uk-2022-9 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/foodbank-hell-britain-demand-soars-20903189

This might surprise you, Ken, but politicians don't get houses for cheap or free because they're lucky. They get them because they've done someone a favour. A favour big enough that it has to be paid for, but dodgy enough that it can't be officially paid for. https://balkaninsight.com/2019/03/27/gerb-vice-president-quits-bulgaria-parliament-over-property-scandal/ Still, don't worry, I'm sure nothing like that could ever happen in the UK. https://www.transparency.org.uk/publications/corruption-on-your-doorstep

You don't need permission from the council to park bikes in Southwark. It's not regulated.

Before he entered No.10, he was camped out at Carrie's flat in Camberwell because he'd lost everything in his latest divorce. In No.10, he shook the tree among donors in an opaque scheme to decorate his residence. If after No.10 he was plonking down cash to buy multimillion pound properties when his legitimate earnings could not have been the source of those funds, that would be very suspicious.

I think it's important to share information with your neighbours about criminals roaming the area.

I would have thought he'd packed that nonsense in now that he's married.

I think you should start a cafe, ken78, it's obviously complete moneyspinner and a piece of piss to do. https://smallbiztrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/businesses1.png https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jul/25/uk-restaurant-insolvencies-closures-rise-data https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/the-extreme-economic-pain-of-running-a-restaurant-in-the-uk

Hah!

You're now getting upset because someone you don't know prefers coffee to crisps as a treat. 🤐

They're not, though. By far the most agitated person is you. The Sun article was a pisstake based on a joke on the first page of this thread. 🤷‍♂️

🤔

That sounds very unpleasant. Please do tell your son's school, as well as the [police] Safer Neighbourhood Team. These kids seem to carry on doing this stuff until they're picked up - which they often do because they are not master criminals. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/met/southwark/peckham-rye/contact-us/top-reported-crimes-in-this-area

Let's not get carried away. Most ABC1s in this country got to be ABC1s because they were born to ABC1s. Appreciating good service doesn't come into it. https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/pages/from-briefings-07-april-2022.html
