How funny!

My mates who live outside London assume it's either all like OF&Horses (and this area is not a cockney area) or all full of gangsters and frightened unhappy black kids as was made out when Damilola Taylor died.

When they come to stay with me and see how beautiful some of it is and with fabulous architecture, and gems like Choumert Square etc, as well as how friendly people are when you break the ice and talk with them, they end up being quite envious I live in such a great area of London!


Incidentally, in Rye Lane two days ago I was walking along and my right foot collapsed to the right either by going on an uneven paving stone or something else. Two elderly black ladies immediately caught me preventing me from falling over and were SOOOOOO lovely and caring. I nearly passed out with the pain and they stayed with me and helped me into Iceland where the manager got me, guess what, a bag of Iceland Ice. Thank you again to these lovely and VERY quick acting ladies. I sat for about half an hour then got a bus home. My right ankle is now black and blue and twice its size.


Back to topic. NEVER seen anyone saying they were on a tourist trip of Peckham, but on Peckham Society walks there are sometimes people who are members but don't live here anymore, who come in just to go on the walk. And they are great walks often led by Peter Frost or one of the architect-members.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
