I think you are absolutely right! Why do we have to endure endless wailing from wannabee X Factor hopefuls on every street corner. My trip to work from Waterloo to ED this morning consisted of the following:


2 x beggars, both with very healthy pit bull style dogs, a juggler/fire eater with serious burns and scarring around his mouth and no teeth thanks to all the meths he holds in his mouth, 3 x Big Issue sales man, a pretend cryer from Turkey, who turns up with a smile on her face and starts crying to order for the duration of her shift.. a total con man, who I actually gave money to because he looked respectable and said he'd lost his wallet (only to see him pulling the same scam 30 minutes later in Peckham).

The sound of a poor singer wailing at me would have been the final straw!

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
