I just found out completely by chance that this has been cancelled as I was searching for the start time on the internet.


I read the advert in Southwark Life and liked the sound of 'The Colour Thief': it somehow felt like it might make the thing much more creative and festive than the usual sort of November 5th event. I didn't think I was being a sucker for political correctness - just a sucker for a good free festival within walking distance.


I guess whoever led the lobbying for it to be cancelled didn't feel any sense of responsibility to all the people who'd read the original announcement - many of whom will no doubt show up on the night and be disappointed.


Anway, does anyone have any alternative suggestions for a blind date this Friday now some Councillors have put out the fireworks?

The really, really stupid thing about this is the name - drive anywhere around Dulwich at the moment - it is alive with the brilliant autumn colours - leaves, berries - we are at our most colourful - but the aparatchiks think a colour thief has been about apparently. A festival in midwinter in the snow, perhaps, but in autumn?! No idea!

There are loads of fireworks still happening.


At Brockwell Park and Crystal Palace Park, both within easy reach of East Dulwich, to name just two events.


There is a thread on here about them.

    • Rising damp though rare is a thing -  a few years back there was loads of companies that have all gone bust offering 30 year guarantees.  I was fooled it is true but my post was really about how such guarantees work not about the existence or not of rising damp
    • There's really no such thing as rising damp. Try as an experiment standing a brick upright in a pail of water and see how far the water actually rises through the brick and above the height of the water line. Why should gravity be overcome by a brick? Where are the capillaries in a brick to force the water upwards against gravity? Bricks aren't like kitchen towel.  Most damp is either condensation or water coming in from above, or from broken or leaking pipework. Or through failing window fittings. Damp can travel sideways of course, but very rarely upwards. 
    • The builders guarantee system is quite fraught. I had a 10 year guarantee for correction of rising damp; within 18 months. The symptoms returned and I was told by the tradesman who returned on an inspection visit that the symptoms this time were not caused by rising damp they were caused by condensation and so the guarantee did not apply.  Without a court battle which would’ve cost thousands there was nothing I could do.
    • Hi & thank you very much for reply, will definitely be in contact & see if he can help
