The need to escape a little is probably greater this year, and it's not been the greatest of summers, but I'm fingers crossed for Wilderness this year. Last year was a joy.

We went last year and enjoyed it, and I'm hoping for more fun this year


Also Meatopia at Tobacco dock this September is now over 3 days - That's a lot of meat!

Mind you, after the last event I went veggie for 3 months

I have a friend that goes to Wilderness. I've looked at it a couple of times but it seems just a little too unbearably Hunter welly, face painty, gourmet picnicy and camping chairsy for my tastes.


Saying that, I'm going to Citadel on Sunday in Victoria Park and that seems like Wilderness in microcosm but with better music (however; Wilderness have Flaming Lips playing this year!!).


I'm not doing any multi-day festivals this year. I usually go to Primavera Sound in Barcelona but couldn't make this years. I really want to go to End of the Road in September.


Instead it's all one day festivals in London. Was supposed to go to the Sunday of Field Day, but was sick. Went to Sunfall in Brockwell Park last Sunday which apart from Kamasi Washington, who was mind-blowingly good, was average. Have Citadel on Sunday and the Sunday of Caught By The River Thames at Fulham Palace in August (mainly for Sun Ra Arkestra and Super Furry Animals).

Nope but you are fooling yourself if you think that people don't trawl social media and discussion forums trying to piece together as much information about people, where they live, what they do and when they are out fir a weekend


Best not to post too much information about yourself is my opinion but if you want to then that's your choice I guess

If I lived in a small town, or was particularly well known, or had a thousand Facebook friends who aren't actually my friends, or didn't know how to use the privacy settings properly, or had my address anywhere on the web, I might be concerned.


However I don't, I'm not, I don't, I do and I don't.. so I think it'll be fine.

7 out of the 12 posts are off on a tangent. What are you lot like?!


I've mourned the loss of the Big Chill but fancy this (for next year - but others may wish to try it this)

Sane venue and under a ton,


I'm always horrified by the cost of most festivals, of course when I first went to to Glastonbury there was change out of a score, that is if you even paid. But with so much on the massive hike in price is no doubt justifice. Don't think so on the other biggies. And the above sounds far less twee than Lattitude (he says with his/her fingers down his/her throat)

http://www.foyles.co.uk/storybox - A Book festival this summer for children & Young Adults at Foyles called Storybox - lots of fun interactive author events and workshops happening over the next few weeks!


*Shameless plug alert* I'm also running a radio drama workshop as part of this festival at the Charing Cross Road branch of Foyles challenging children to script and broadcast their own live radio play with DIY sound effects against the clock!

    • 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.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • 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.
