MitchK Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 How ridiculous. Am I not allowed to sing the national anthem in case people find it divisive or offensive? If you don't want to celebrate the marriage of your future king, don't go to the party.

Not against The Monarchy. You can sing The national Anthem where ever / when ever you like. It is sung at every major sporting event and so it should be. I am just not interested in Another Royal Wedding. If you want to party then Party. do not need a Royal Wedding to do that Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15237-lordship-lane-street-party-for-royal-wedding/page/4/#findComment-401739 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather is likely to be better, as well (was a lovely sunny day last year).

esme Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 i'm not a royalist but have never been to a street party and they sound like fun so i'm all for it - hey if we have to pay for it why not celebrate our day off :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15237-lordship-lane-street-party-for-royal-wedding/page/4/#findComment-401761 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck the royal wedding. To have a street party on Lordship Lane would prove to be impossible. Too much traffic and public transport. Have it on your on street if that's what you want just as long as it's not on mine.

*Bob* Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Don't worry, Jah. The chances of the south circular being closed off to host a street party are exactly the same as those of M&S deciding to open a branch because fifty people on the local internet forum promise to buy a ready-meal twice a week.. ie, zero.

Sue Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 And I ask again - all you people who so want this street party, are you going to organise it? Including liaising with the council re road closure, doing risk assessments, arranging first aid provision, publicising it, providing entertainment and everything else that would be involved?Because if not, how do you think it is going to happen?

edcam Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I don't mind this happening (on a side street, not on Lordship Lane), as long as absolutely NO public funds are used including those associated with traffic diversion, policing, street cleaning etc. If people want something like this, fine, but they should pay for it, maybe by ticketed entry.

DulwichFox Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Why Lordship Lane. Why close roads. What is wrong with Goose Green for a party. Plenty of space. No need to close roads. No need to Divert Traffic. Easy to set up temp. Toilets.

SeanMacGabhann Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have no interest in it but I wouldn?t want to side with the ?just say no to everything? brigade eitherI don?t know why so many people want to identify with a couple they don?t know and will never know but enough people do to want a party, so have a partyIf it?s on Lordship Lane I don?t see a problem with that either - anything different is always good for a laugh. You stick England in a world cup final and you won?t have to close Lordship lane, it?ll be deserted anyway, so if it gets closed for a party why not?

SeanMacGabhann Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 If a party is organised enough to happen on the proposed scale then yes, enough people care about "the wedding of our (sic) future king"If it's just people who like a party then trust me nothing will happen Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15237-lordship-lane-street-party-for-royal-wedding/page/4/#findComment-402102 Share on other sites More sharing options...

northlondoner Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Initially it sounded a bit naff. And all the general gushiness is a bit nauseating. But a big street party at a time of national celebration would be great. The wedding itself would be incidental and it would have an ED twist. Have it on a side road though.

Sue Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 So let me ask again, all you enthusiastic people - which of you is going to organise it? Cos it surely aint going to happen by itself :))And "a time of national celebration"? It's clear just from this thread that a lot of people won't be celebrating, including me. If only I could afford to, I'd be out of the country :))Two people getting married. Hooray for them. So what?

DulwichFox Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Isn't there enough Misery and Suffering in the World without people getting married. Royal Weddings are not the most successful by any means.

HonaloochieB Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Tell you what Sue I'll start the ball rolling.I'll pony up several big tubs of M&S deli coleslaw, a dozen M&S baguettes, various M&S dips, let's say half a dozen litre packs of M&S juices (even unto mandarin orange) and a good selection of M&S cold meats.But only if the M&S has opened on LL by the time the shindig is on.Catch me dragging all that lot on the bus from Brixton?

Sue Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 About as much chance of that happening as any of the people on this thread actually organising a street party, I'd say :))I stand to be proved wrong, but whatever happens I deffo won't be going to it if it's got any connection whatsoever to this ******* wedding :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15237-lordship-lane-street-party-for-royal-wedding/page/4/#findComment-402328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
