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.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      Aria came round a couple of weeks ago to take a look at a radiator that wasn't working properly. He did a fabulous job, and was very generous with his time and his expertise. We will absolutely look to him again for any plumbing needs.
