* Public service announcement *


Please excuse the interruption but I recently had to clean out the forum's database as it was 10Gb in size, to do this I had to remove all images that were over a year old. That's why old images are no longer appearing but the database is now only 3Gb in size so the forum's less likely to fall over because of it. A small price to pay but sorry the original images aren't at the start of this thread.

> Or pay the server costs on admin's behalf?


I did divvy up on the last request for a server upgrade (perhaps you were not around at the time), I've paid for a banner advert on the EDF, and made a donation for each one off advert.


I notee your priorities for the EDF. Silly pictures of interest to a few rather than material such as the photos uploaded by computedshorty.


I understand you are leaving East Dulwich soon.

Forum got to function though ain't it.


Plus a forum like this isn't exactly designed to be a useful reference for anything much.


I agree, set up a website or a blog and talk to computedshorty to get access to his treasure trove.


If you'd like advice on how or even help I'd be happy to do so.


Do it quick, I'm leaving East Dulwich...well, actually I left 9 years ago, but I'm leaving for further afield in a couple of months.


Not sure D_C is is he?

I have previously donated to the forum although I wasn't aware this was a contest on the depths of our wallets. Especially given I'm not the one complaining about anything I've posted being removed.


And if you want to wage battle on our respective interests then I'm happy to front up against your endless campaign of postcode and geographic pedantry.


Not for the first time, your sources are innaccurate. I'm not going anywhere to the best of my knowledge although as I live nr Bellenden Road I'm unsure if I've ever actually lived in East Dulwich. If only there was someone who could tell me?


I was merely pointing out that your persistent gloom and tetchy aside at the thought that some of your historic map pictures may be being removed to allow the forum to remain functional was uncalled for. And that if you were that interested in preserving them for public viewing, perhaps a personal blog might suit your needs.

At the EDF's Meet Your Favourite Poster drinks night, everyone's illusions of HonaB being a Wildean, louche, bohemian man-about-town, complete with wide brimmed hat and flowing cape, are shattered when he turns out to be a trainspotter called Bert living in a bedsit in Penge...

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
    • It's not really though, is it. It's practical.  At least we're allowed Christmas lights.

    • I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires.
