Football Casuals. None more so.


Loved being part of it all, had some great trips, made some great friends, had some brilliant laughs, but anyone who's still at it is a bit of a dinosaur. Also, today's version generally...


1. Dress like shite and don't really get the original aesthetic principle

2. Are fairly pathetic in numbers.


I don't regret it for a moment, but find it amazing that there is an appetite for it amongst younger people these days (and older people who should have packed it in)

The Dark is Rising (oh Susan Cooper, you were super)

Salt n Shake

Yes to those green shield stamps (my nan used to collect them down the co-op: I think sometimes we got sweets, and sometimes we just nicked her Rennies out of the drawer)

Now that's what I call music (I had the first one, without any numbers, on vinyl - at work today, a couple of people said the first one they got was number 18 - gadzooks)

Novelty records - grandma we love you, save your love my darling, matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs - in fact why don't they make songs about painters anymore? (and I could have told you Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you)

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Considering the private revision study that my children undertook, perhaps 15 to 20 years ago in that library it seems a shame they have timed the refurbishment so it won't be open at this crucial time for children. But hey, so long as it's greener...

      Where can you smell Wood Burning stoves in East Dulwich

      Enforcement costs money which I doubt the fines actually pay for. Presumably it hasn't been a priority.

      Where can you smell Wood Burning stoves in East Dulwich

      By ianr · Posted

      Per Cllr McAsh, as quoted above: “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. " Is anyone au fait with the Clean Air Act 1993, and  particularly with the state of 'Smoke Control' law and practice generally?  I've just been looking  through some of it for the first time and, afaics, the civil penalties mentioned  were introduced into the Clean Air Act, at Schedule 1A, in May 2022.  So it seems that, in this particular,  it's a matter of the enforcement policy trailing well behind the legislation.  I'm not criticising that at all, but am curious.
