It's largely a categorisation problem, isn't it? FWIW, here's an artist's impression of my thinking when I decided to add to the old thread yesterday.


Is there a previous thread? Well, yes, I contributed to it, though I can't remember when. Never mind, a precautionary search will find it and any other thread in less than thirty seconds. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/search.php?4,search=treacle,page=1,match_type=ALL,match_dates=30,match_forum=ALL


Ah, it's been lounged. Do I want to override the principle of not multiplying threads unnecessarily by starting another thread in the main ED section? Well, personally no, as I don't think it's substantively much more about East Dulwich than, say, the vanity threads about which purportedly notable people are seen in the local shops, bars or caffs.


But subsequently there have been two threads started in the ED section, one of them now lounged. So there are clearly folk who think of it as an ED-interest topic.


If that's the case, I wonder if the best resolution would be to keep one thread here, including a clear reference and link to the original one at http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,541742,706211.

It matters for two reasons


One. Any forum becomes unusable when it's a mess


Two and more importantly. If I want to partake in a discussion and there are three threads open which one do I use. Let's say I pick one arbitrarily, only to find someone else makes a point in another one I want to respond to. So ee both go and cross post in the other one...and on and on it goes



It's basic etiquette and it does matter.



Unless you are Aidan gillens character in the film of course

Go and support Treacle Junior-it's a great film. Mainly shot in East Dulwich and around. Loads of us enjoyed being extras and Jamie Thraves , the director is very talented . Peckham Rye has never looked so beautiful and The Blue Brick ( in its former reincarnation) has a scene shot in it. This may all be in previous threads but I haven't checked.

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
