Nightmare. Sorry to hear that OP

Grove Vale (no longer) closed off to all traffic
Dogkennelhillbilly replied to gebbjane's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Shit on a brick, that's a fair old whack -

I think it was a response to the concern trolling about how the Bromley-resident shopkeepers of Lordship Lane were going to commute without free parking. The forum doesn't allow embedded images, but imagine a large photo of Jimmy Hill appearing here.

I couldn't give the slightest shit about the car parking requirements of schoolchildren, and I can only assume your comment there is satirical. I am only fractionally more interested in the car parking needs of staff. Practically no-one else in London gets free parking at work.

Gala packing up on Peckham Rye
Dogkennelhillbilly replied to fishboy's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
That's a horrendous amount of rubbish. The cigarette butts aren't biodegradable (it's not all paper) let alone the ring pulls and cable ties. -
Famous People in Sainsburys
Dogkennelhillbilly replied to Ladygooner's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Jamie Theakston, ordering pizza extremely politely. Separately, Bob Carolgees, examining a tin of fine wood wax. (The beeswax is better than the petrochemical stuff). -
DuncanW Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > articles like this are generally > written by people who aren't from London, Yes - the way he describes Peckham as a black neighbourhood being gentrified by white people shows he doesn't know anything about Peckham. But otherwise his catty thumbnail sketches are pretty on the button IMHO (in my heterosexual opinion).

New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham
Dogkennelhillbilly replied to LondonMix's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Not East Dulwich but West Dulwich: Peace & Riot has rebranded as At No 12, and is now a conventional (but still family-friendly) coffee shop and wine bar. Because I'd never been in all the way before, I hadn't realised what a nice space they have. There's also a decent garden/deck. Definitely rocketing to top spot in my favoured W Dulwich places. -

Nigello Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > business owners who did not make the > effort (flag, bunting, poster, etc.) could well > have earnt a bit more if they had...do your best to make money...I don't have a business to think of Looks like most of the people who do have a business to think of decided bunting wouldn't make them money.

Hosting Family from Ukraine - others?
Dogkennelhillbilly replied to JBR-peckham's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I have been told that the Dulwich Foundation Schools are organising Ukrainian coffee mornings in Dulwich on a weekly basis. Sign up below. Obviously attendees don't need to have an existing connection with Dulwich or the schools! Link below https://forms.office.com/r/x7SmUmh96t -

It turns out the difference between someone (CPR Dave) being ironically stupid and merely stupid is nothing...

Nigello Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > , don't they understand that > practically any gimmick is good for business, Did you go in for a scale and polish at the dentist specially because they had bunting out? Maybe shopkeepers understand how to run shops better than people who don't. 💡

Dogkennelhillbilly replied to JBR-peckham's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
There's a been a social night for Ukrainians being hosted by the White Eagle Polish Club in Tooting - would be worth following the clubs Facebook profile. Also, they have a "boutique" to outfit newly-arrived people with clothes etc. https://www.facebook.com/490333667805651/posts/2043767025795633/ https://fb.watch/dr8kiAAXml/ -
Where to donate books & comics?
Dogkennelhillbilly replied to Applespider's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I would batch up the comics and sell them on eBay with lots of photos and description. You can donate whatever money you make directly to charity. -

speakwithmaria Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > try searching the words > > tfl managed decline Thank you - found it. It's that Khan is advocating a "managed decline", it's that if he doesn't get the money he wants, he will have to implement a managed decline plan. The phrase has been used a number of times by TfL/London over the past couple of years when explaining how bad things will go if they don't get the funding. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/tfl-funding-bus-cuts-sadiq-khan-government-elizabeth-line-b1001116.html?amp

Putting children with diverse sen needs > together is not a good idea. It entirely depends on the kid and their needs. Kids have not been helped by a dogmatic insistence on either "mainstreaming" or segregation for all SEN kids.

I can't see anything on there now and Google isn't throwing up any results with the quoted text. I'm probably missing it
