If you are the middle-class dad who thought it was alright for his young teenage kids to spray orange juice* over my window sills in Melbourne Grove last night feel free to come round and wipe it off it off. You stood there, chatted to us in a friendly manner and then let your kids accept chocolate (what bit of trick OR treat don't you get?)from us. And then this is what we find in the morning, on a working morning when we could do without it.


*edited to add "possibly not even organic" (OK, know I am having a sense of humour failure, but am really irritated)

Agree it's hardly a 'hideous crime' but to answer you Curmudgeon and Kapt Kopter


We only had four sets of trick or treaters and my small son spent the evening peeping out of the windows hoping someone would come.


Unlike the others, this group didn't come straight to the door, but rustled about treading on the cardboard packaging in front of my windows, before they got round to ringing the bell. The other three groups (who I also know) rushed straight up the path.

    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?
