From a glossy flyer, courtesy of The Herne:

They're going to be doing (amongst other things) 'Screen in the garden': showing classic movies outside during summer and serving 'film food' to the viewers.

Any thoughts? I imagine opinion will divide along the usual battle-lines of old ED v new ED etc etc


This important and up-to-the minute information has been brought to you thanks to the magic of "working from home", ie being immediately distracted the instant anything drops through the letterbox. Possibly followed by half an hour of Jeremy Kyle on the goggle-box

Cheers for the info *Bob* - sounds like it could be great fun. Having watched some films outdoors at Somerset House a few years back it seems have a very different effect on the audience. People tend to be more vocal whilst watching


Any of the films named?

No programme of films as of yet - 'classic movies' is all that it says. Though due to the proximity of residential housing to the boundary of The Herne I'm guessing 'Pulp Fiction' is off the agenda.


Other stuff they're doing: a couple of beer festivals; Punch & Judy (good, clean, wifebeating fun for all the family), Village Fete and Pig Roast.

First few scenes of Mona Lisa.


Oh, and I was watching a film called "Last Orders" the other night (Michael Cane, Ray Winstone and Bob Hoskins), and I've-met-Jimmy pointed out that the pub is the Wishing Well on Bellenden, and you see various bits of the area.


Can't think of any comedy ones right now jim_the_chin, but E.D. is genius in it's simplicity! >:D<

And, if I'm not very much mistaken, BIggs went there some time after the actual event.

I use to walk past that every morning on my way to Peckan Pie rail station. One morning I walked past, and suddenly noticed, while in the middle of it that the pub had changed colour, and that there was a MK1 Escort and Vauxhall Viva parked in the road. Felt like I had walked through a time portal. All the trucks etc were parked up the side of the Peckam Exp. so wasn't obvious I was on a film set.

yes, I remember them filming last orders - we got all excited when the local junk shop in bellenden rd (now either lucias and richards or the dog parlour) looked like it was turning into an organic butchers!! then we found out it was just a film set......


normal service was soon resumed and all us incomers (been here 12 yrs now) all deflated

In a small row of grungy shops on the junction of Peckham Rye and St Aidans road at the south end of Peckham Rye park (where Peckham Rye becomes Forest Hill Road). Less than a 1 mile from your new flat in the Gardens. Well worth a visit - good beer, good food, friendly service.

Hi.


Glad to see that our plans for The Herne film screenings have met with such a positive reaction on the ED Forum.


Nothing is set in stone yet but we do plan to show films probably in our newly refurbished barn area in the garden at The Herne. We are looking to do this in conjunction with a local film society and would also like to become envolved with the Stella Artois film season. Another option would be to have mother and child screenings during the week.


We are looking at all the practicalities and options and of course looking to minimise any nuisance to our close neigbours.


If anyone has any suggestions or if there are any film societies who may be interested in using the facility please email me at [email protected]


Thanks for the support,


Will

Jacques Tati? Hang on a moment, let me just google that ;-)


I'm sure whoever we get in to run the nights will be far more educated in the world of cinema than me. But if you want to be kept up to date with what is happening on the film front at The Herne, we do have a mailing list. I don't want to promote too heavily because that's not what these boards are about. But feel free to check our websites for more info.

>>Can we see that one where Catherine Deneuve plays a bored housewife (read ED yummy mummy) who goes on the game to >>>see how the other half lives? Belle de Jour I think it was...


>:D< I have that and several other of Ms Deneuve's works on DVD but would certainly welcome the chance to see her on the big screen yet again!

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
