Hello DulCool1. Hello Everyone.


DC, I'm curious to know what your first language is.


And as a sort of answer to your question... I used to cycle up Dog Kennel Hill each day on my way to work. However I felt when I left home there was something heartening in seeing the view uphill with the treeline meeting the sky. And then, some years ago, they built an apartment block two thirds of the way up the hill, with an upper storey that extended even above the treeline. And that view disappeared for ever.

Hope and Greenwood used to be my absolute favourite place. Now I love the Japanese Garden in Peckham Rye Park. I love the cinema. I love Brick House Bakery, the Forest shop on Frogley and Pearspring. I?m also growing rather fond of the new cafe in Peckham Rye Park. Not for the menu in particular but for the view.
I don't shop there (my wife likes the vegan food stall though) but I've always loved the energy of North Cross Road market on a Saturday morning, especially since it's revival thanks to our local councillors amongst others a few years ago. It's super friendly, attracts a lot of people from outside the area and although it's very small, there's lots to see, hear and smell - a real feast for the senses! I miss the cat with the pirate collar that used to stroll around near the chemists, was so sad to hear it passed away.
I've lived here since 1996. I still love the view from the Horniman Museum Gardens (although just outside SE22) more than anything. I also love Nunhead Cemetery and Crystal Palace Park for a wander (again, not SE22 but close enough). In terms of businesses, I would say Farmers, Franklins, Thai Corner Cafe, the Great Exhibition, Greetings, Willow, Karavan, St Christopher's. All the other bars and restaurants seem to change hands frequently.

    • Yes, I think people who don’t use their food waste bin are less likely to vote Lib Dem or Green or Labour as they think it’s a woke type of thing to do, like solar panels and other renewables. 
    • But we’re not in Canada so why celebrate their recent election? Wasn’t their winner our Bank of England director up until his defection to his homeland of Canada? He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.
    • I expect that they consider it should be a free choice what to do with your waste, and that segregating it is a waste of money, no doubt it's all a woke conspiracy.  I expect that others are more up to speed with Reform policies. I should have asked Nigel when I was drinking with him.  Well within the vicinity of him in Westminster pubs a couple of times.
    • Let's see how a Leader and party that thrive on division and demonising elements of our society actually do when they have to deliver. Let's hope that the two main parties don't consider that the best way to fight Reform is to become like then. Even less reason to visit the small town where I grew up.  Not a cause for any joy or celebration. Happy to celebrate the Canadian result.
