[quote name='woofmarkthedog

which end of "Peckham Rye" please...?]



Y-es' date=' at the risk of sounding like an inexperienced picnic planner [i'](as if)[/i] who doesn't know her way around South London, or indeed, Peckham Rye park....I was gonna ask PeckhamRose or Charliecharlie for help here?


Or anyone on the forum who is coming along? Any helpful suggestions for where to meet on Peckham Rye park?*


Cheers.


*doesn't have to be OS grid co-ordinates or anything.

Yes, but it's part of the dog-free area and at least one person is bringing her woofer.

...and we don't wish to indirectly discriminate against "Woof" either;-) or legalbeagle for that matter.


But, joking aside, a designated picnic area does sound like a sensible idea (though a pretty Japanese garden sounds idyllic)...oh decisions decisions...

Moos and SimonM - thanks so much for your helpful suggestions for whereabouts in the park to hold this. Hopefully this means you are coming along too!


Rustic tables and benches sounds fab as does the idyllic garden....guess it depends whether pets are coming too. Sure we'll find somewhere thats perfect (tu)

Er, perhaps not LM - it's a lovley little spot for a quiet family picnic but no good for a forum rabble who might frighten the ducks! Remember there will be a frisbee, assorted dangerous foodstuffs and, I dare say, some booze.


I'd opt for a spot on the Common in front of the cafe or by the children's playground in the park.

Well there's that nice strip between the Japanese Garden and the Bowling green which has nice views of both, is fenced off and won't frighten the water fowl. (I don't think I've seen a kingfisher there for two or possibly three years though anyway..)- or the big meadow facing the new school..or...or...loads of gorgeous spots to choose from really!


Am attending a school reunion that weekend so won't make it either :-)

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
