Yeah Jah, a conspiracy

I'm growing potatoes in bags in my garden here in East Dulwich so this thread does concern East Dulwich matters (similar justification to the Peckham Rye Park thread being in this section)

Well Jeremy it's not my intention to be annoying but I don't see why accepted wisdom shouldn't be challenged. I shall say only this on the subject. Boosboss is correct in saying that peckham Rye Park falls within the SE22 postcode area and this is backed up by the map you referred me to. A postcode isn't a place: it is an artificial convenient way for the post office to carve up the country into areas or zones. To quote Wikipedia again: 'SE22 is the postcode for East Dulwich, the southern portion of Peckham Rye and the northern edge of Honor Oak in the London Borough of Southwark.' Wikipedia has stated this conjunctively. Thus Peckham Rye Park is not in East Dulwich. It is a separate but contiguous area which shares the same postcode.

No Jeremy, but thanks for that. I didn't realise the subject had been broached before. I'm supposed to be decorating the kitchen today but as you can see I'm doing everything I can to avoid it. So just to be clear, is Peckham Rye in East Dulwich or does it just border it? Perhaps the clue is in the name.

I did thanks and the boundary is clear. The park borders East Dulwich but is not in, a part of, East Dulwich

Thanks for that boosboss, it is unclear. Even Southwark Council's website gives the address as Strakers Road SE16.

Weird or not, I still think this is in the wrong section From Wikipedia: Peckham Rye is an open space and road in the London Borough of Southwark in London, England. The roughly triangular open space, managed by Southwark Council, consists of two congruent areas, with Peckham Rye Common to the north and Peckham Rye Park to the south ... The road Peckham Rye forms the western and eastern perimeter of the open space. ... To the east is Nunhead, to the south is Honor Oak and to the west is East Dulwich. Peckham Rye is a ward in Southwark, forming part of the Camberwell and Peckham constituency.'

Why do you ask?

Glad to hear it bigbadwolf. The only winged mammals I can think of are bats and maybe those tree foxes who have wing-like skin to help them glide between trees. Platypuses are mammals that lay eggs but they don't have wings.

Is this in the correct section? Is Peckham Rye in East Dulwich?

Blimey, I'll have a double helping of your crumble reggie. Are you sure nobody's sprinkled some wacky baccy on the topping?

Each to their own reggie, you stick with your rolled oats if you wish and I'll keep sowing some wild ones

Interesting theory Humans are hardwired to believe in God, say scientists http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1211511/Humans-hardwired-believe-God-say-scientists.html

I've just taken up RoosterMcLooster's suggestion above and looked at the Guardian website. I clicked on two articles and after scanning about 2,000 words on the subject I'm no clearer what I'm supposed to do to reduce my carbon footprint in a meaningful way. Can anybody point me in the right direction so I can view a serious scientific list of the power used by everyday machines and labour saving devices. For example, if I am one of 300 people who fly on a plane to Italy and back for my holidays, hire a car and tour 1,000 miles what is the carbon breakdown of my actions as opposed to actions I take every day? As I write this my washing machine is on, my dishwasher is on, my laptop is plugged in, my mobile phone is being charged, the light in the room is on, I've boiled the electric kettle to make a drink, taken milk from the fridge, taken some food out of the freezer to defrost overnight for tomorrow's dinner which I shall cook in an oven and newsnight is on telly. My wife is in the other room watching a different telly and my son is up stairs on another plugged in laptop with the telly also on. I'm sure this is not an unusual state of affairs in countless households up and down the country at this very moment. If I washed up the dishes by hand I've no doubt that would help but I'm not going to start washing clothes by hand like my grandmothers used to do. I could switch off my telly as there's two others being used at the moment. I could switch off my computer. My son won't be very pleased if I ask him to do the same to reduce his carbon footprint. The point I'm trying to make is we've reached (in the affluent first world at least) a standard of living with all sorts of gadgets and white/brown goods that will not go away. Furthermore, many of the recommendations to reduce carbon emissions are expensive, eg, lagging attics, and people won't spend the money without financial incentives. If people turn down the central heating by one degree it will help I admit but does charging a mobile phone/using a computer cancel out the gain?

What exactly is it about the post Macroban that has led you to quote it on the LoL thread and here?

I must admit I thought this subject would be more explosive than it has been. However I see it's still rumbling along with the latest suggestions that the princes may have been hacked.
