  1. Can't believe they tore down the old station building, that was once a pleasant garden center,what a crime and should not have been allowed to happen, councilors have crimes to pay for (again) and replaced with a average quality boring building of over priced stuffy cramped flats looking onto a road full of bus's and ambulance's, East dulwich station looks pathetic now, wedged up between the bridge and the horrible block, gentrification is great hey?
  2. Ends today- Save our streets from the clutter and badly thought out schemes! Champion Hill https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=_STHWR_DCAPR_9577037
  3. Hi there Admose, Some times when I've got faulty equipment, it can really help to look up the model number and the problem in a youtube/google search, you'd be surprised how many people repair and give good instructions/tutorial on videos they make when they are repairing their own equipment. Some are better quality than others, and but not everything/faults fix's are uploaded. Hope this may help, and may your cd player live longer! C
  4. The view from the junction will be servery altered visually from what is now a nice pleasing view out to the sky and the view down the hill to outer regions, very severely! Why make us loose this? More worse the cluttered feeling it will create being and living in immediate area as I do! If it's has to be built, it must be no higher than whats there on the site now and far away from the junction as possible! And should be designed with historical local buildings in mind, more than just throwing in modern aspects in design, and that being that with it ect.... The disruption from the works will be slow unbearable mess to deal with day to day, just look at what happened to the horrible block for example that's STILL under construction, the block that is right next East Dulwich train station! Now does that corner now look great or what? After all that trouble.....No. After what was there before.....no. They destroyed a historical building doing this too, (what was part of the old station) Now East Dulwich station looks so pathetic now! Just by building that rubbish that's going to be dated soon as a 60's block of flats! How THIS even happen is beyond me. That's what this proposal is going to do to us here, harm to a nice corner. Southwark pulled down quite of few blocks on Dog Kennel Hill estate not long ago,and in Peckham and Elephant and Castle, and created partially them self's the problem of housing people, poor planning of the future that was very ?? to do that then, soon after build what looks like garages to replace this instead, and not achieving anything, this is another example Southwark Council wasting money again of course, not fixing the problem, only creating them. Now these desperate measures for these proposals are needed to help fix what they have done before, to the cost to what our community will look like, desperate for housing people at cost of poor decisions in the past! Look at Southwarks other huge unattractive (modern) blocks near us in Camberwell and surrounding area's! All these works are slowly turning our area into a concrete jungle, is this what we want? Southwark are hopelessly trying to fulfill their targets that will never fill the gap of much needing housing of any sort in the first place, and how long till they take more drastic measure without any consideration to the area and not spoiling our historic borough for the future generations? By letting this happen unopposed and successfully at that, this is only going to give them more insensitive for proposing preposterous blocks of rubbish and clutter, in any area they like. Anything green will be concrete soon enough. The proposals on Greendale Playing fields behind the Salisbury's store on Dog Kennel Hill is scary enough, this is another subject of course, and I'm not quite up to date on this situation as of now, but another one we need to win. This is another example to show us what inconsiderate this council has to offer. I fear for any open space's for local wild life, or for children to enjoy. A quiet place to reflect and enjoy. We spend so much effort looking after our own places and houses to keep the area looking so nice as it is, why let poorly led agenda's of Southwark spoil our good efforts, why let them spoil the streets and neighborhoods we live in, only for it not to work in the long run anyway! London is one packed deck of card, there really is't much else to build on, and then what after that? I fear in the near future the we will be living the 'Blade Runner' movie style, high rise buildings, multiple blocks just stashed anywhere with cramped area's to live in, no space to breath or see anything, but buildings. Look at historical pictures of our area, and look at the affected area's now, and what may come, we are heading in the wrong direction. The points of the compass must be changed. Keep up the good work those who are similar minded, and those actively trying their best to help the dire situation we have been forced to deal with. Please can all here Object-Refuse-Resist to this! Any way or form. Sorry for long message! Can't wait till this thing never happens!!!:)
  5. About time, years too late as well! I remember those bus new in early 2000's! I live right on the road they use so I have to hear them roar pass both ways! Night time was more annoying, quiet road then......ROAR!!!!!!!!!! Amazed it took so long, think they were newer replaced bus's than the other routes in the early 2000's then the other routes got better bus, but no not the 176, that stock had to go on for more years! what a faf, I saw on scrap kings tv program the exact type of bus 176 use, getting ripped to bits, was very satisfying, so by noisy bus, hello cleaner quieter more uplifting interior and cleaner bus! way long passed it cell by date! life got better all the sudden i feel! HA
  6. Please can you kindly share the blog?, I was very upset to see them just go without any info that they were, and hope they will be replaced with replica's, or something like that, to keep the history side of things and was a good story to tell people new to the area! Sad it is.
  7. Indeed they are very kind and happy people, nice that they are mentioned here!
  8. Hello fellow fine folk of ED!, Some years ago when I was in Australia, I used to attend LAN party's, basically if anyone doesn't know what this is it's pretty much computer geeks who love playing games old and new, setting up their PCs/Laptops or getting old computers from the past and playing old games on them, in a room/hall or something like that, connect a local network/internet to play online together, also it's kind of a social club, talking PC or games related stuff, having fun, staying up to very late, ordering pitza's, little drink or two, just simple fun really, mainly adults, who love nostalgia too! I'm just asking anyone here or anyone knows anything like this going on in the area, happy for people to PM me politely on information that could help, maybe if possible to meet similar people with similar interests in LAN party's? Thanks to anyone for help or suggestions!
