Oh the weather outside is frightful,

But the fire is so delightful,

And since we've no place to go,


All together now...


Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions!


It doesn't show signs of stopping,

And I've bought some corn for popping,

The lights are turned way down low,


Everyone...


Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions!


When we finally kiss goodnight,

How I'll hate going out in the storm!

But if you'll really hold me tight,

All the way home I'll be warm.


The fire is slowly dying,

And, my dear, we're still good-bying,

But as long as you love me so,


Come now...BIIIIG finish...


Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adveweeeeerse Weeeeeeaaaaather Conddddiiiiitiiiiooooons!

Good King Wenceslas looked out

On the feast of Stephen

When the adverse weather conditions lay round about

Deep and crisp and even

Brightly shone the moon that night

Though the (adverse) weather conditons were cruel

When a poor man came in sight

Gath'ring winter fuel


"Hither, page, and stand by me

If thou know'st it, telling

Yonder peasant, who is he?

Where and what his dwelling?"

"Sire, he lives a good league hence

Underneath the mountain

Right against the forest fence

By Saint Agnes' fountain."


"Bring me flesh and bring me wine

Bring me pine logs hither

Thou and I will see him dine

When we bear him thither."

Page and monarch forth they went

Forth they went together

Through the cold winds wild lament

And the adverse weather (conditions).


"Sire, the night is darker now

And the wind blows stronger

Fails my heart, I know not how,

I can go no longer."

"Mark my footsteps, my good page

Tread thou in them boldly

Thou shalt find the winter's rage

Freeze thy blood less coldly."


In his master's steps he trod

Where the adverse (weather) conditions lay dinted

Heat was in the very sod

Which the Saint had printed

Therefore, Christian men, be sure

Wealth or rank possessing

Ye who now will bless the poor

Shall yourselves find blessed.


PS I'm singing along ...

In the bleak latter part of the year

Unseasonal Siberian winds made moan,

Earth stood hard as iron,

Water like a stone;

Adverse weather conditions had fallen, adverse weather conditions on adverse weather conditions,

Adverse weather conditions on adverse weather conditions,

In the bleak latter part of the year,

Long ago.

Frosty the Adverse Weather Conditions man

Was a jolly happy soul

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal


Frosty the Adverse Weather Conditions man

Is a fairytale they say

He was made of Adverse Weather Conditions

But the children know

How he came to life one day


Frosty the Adverse Weather Conditions man

Was alive as he could be

And the children say

He could laugh and play

Just the same as you and me


Frosty the Adverse Weather Conditions man

Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye

Saying don't you cry

I'll be back again some day


Thumpety thump thump

Thumpety thump thump

Look at Frosty go


Thumpety thump thump

Thumpety thump thump

Over the hills of Adverse Weather Conditions

I saw three trains come chugging in

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

I saw three trains come chugging in

On Christmas Day in the morning.


And what was in those trains all three,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?

And what was in those trains all three,

On Christmas Day in the morning?


A tramp, some cans and the Metro were there,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

A tramp, some cans and the Metro were there,

On Christmas Day in the morning.


Pray, wither chugged those trains all three?

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

Pray, wither chugged those trains all three?

On Christmas Day in the morning?


O they chugged their way into London Bridge,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

O they chugged their way into London Bridge,

On Christmas Day in the morning.


And all the bells in ED shall ring,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

And all the bells in ED shall ring,

On Christmas Day in the morning.


And why should the bells in ED all ring?

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

And why should the bells in ED all ring?

On Christmas Day in the morning.


Coz they're aint gonna be any sodding trains,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

Coz they're aint gonna be any sodding trains,

On Christmas or any damn bleeding day!


So may as well just get used to it,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

So may as well just get used to it,

And simply rejoice: Happy Christmas Day.

    • Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?
    • There was another unprovoked attack on Monday this week on a young woman nearby (Anstey Road) at 6.45pm. Don't have any other details, it was posted on a Facebook group by her flatmate. Pretty worrying  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EGfDrCAST/
    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.
    • Licensing application for 2026 has gone in and they want to extend the event from 4 to 7 days accross two weekends.  There are some proposed significant changes to be aware of:   Event proposal moves to two separate weekends Number of days of the festival moves from 4 to 7 meaning also a change in the original licence is required Expected footfall in the park over the two weekends around 60,000.    Dear Peckham Rye Park Stakeholder,   Re: STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION – event application: ‘GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’ – ref: SWKEVE000935   We are writing to you because you have previously identified yourself as someone who wishes to be informed about event applications for Peckham Rye Park, or we think that you might have an interest in knowing about this particular event application.   Please be aware that the council are in receipt of an event application for: GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’   In line with the council’s Outdoor Events Policy and events application process we are carrying out consultation regarding this application.   The following reference documents are attached to this email:   Consultation information APPENDIX A – site plan weekend 1 APPENDIX B – site plan weekend 2 APPENDIX C – Production Schedule APPENDIX D – 2025 Noise Management Plan   The consultation is open from Tuesday 4 November and will close at midnight on Tuesday 2 December 2025   Community engagement sessions will take place on Wednesday 19 November.   If you would like to comment on application: SWKEVE000935 and take part in the online consultation, please visit:   www.southwark.gov.uk/GALA2026   If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.     Kind Regards, Southwark Events Team Environment and Leisure PO Box 64529 London SE1P 5LX 020 7525 3639 @SouthwarkEvents APPENDIX A - SITE PLAN weekend 1.pdf APPENDIX B - SITE PLAN weekend 2.pdf APPENDIX C - PRODUCTION SCHEDULE.pdf And just to add that councillor Renata Hamvas chairs the licensing committee.
