2016's Dulwich Literary Festival will be held this weekend, the 11th-13th of November, at Dulwich College.

We are delighted to be hosting a range of political, literary, and science events for adults and kids. Here are just a few. The festival will be bookended with politicial discussions between Harriet Harman and Margaret Hodge as well as Ken Clarke and Nick Clegg. Joanna Trollope will talk about her reworking of 'Sense and Sensibility' and and Joe Dunthorne will talk about his coming of age novel and recent film, 'Submarine.' Journalists Ian Cobain and Tim Marshall will debate the crucial relationship between corporations and the state's use of our personal information - to name just a few.

There are events for children of all ages, with an interactive class at Hogwarts, a writing workshop with Katherine Woodfine, and a storytelling journey across the desert with Sir Charlie Stinkysocks!

Come and listen to stories, discussions, and poetry to take your mind off or change your perspective on the world's troubles. Tickets can be purchased at http://dulwichliteraryfestival.co.uk.

- New homes vs inferstructure

  There are "plans" to build more reservoirs, with physical work yet to be started, with the first hoped to be completed by 2036, and a second by 2040, then time is needed for them to fill so add at least another 12 months on. However, if the 1.5 million homes are built by 2028, each averaging 2 people occupying them.(some will be more, some will be less) then thats 3 million people showering, bathing and using water. Therefore there is a massive demand that will strain our current inferstructure between 2028 and 2037 (nearly ten years) plus all those homes will need electricity, as the ambition is to phase gas usage out, which will take just as much time to reinforce the network to cover, let alone add in the ability to cope with green production electricity that needs to be moved from wind and solar farms to where it is most needed. Therefore, is the current plan to build more homes, regardless of where they are, potentially going to have serious ramifications on already creaking networks ?

  Cheers for that. Surprising to see it's over 25 years since it closed.
