Re: Timings for Torch route along Peckham High St/Rd on 26 July

Posted by Applespider July 22, 02:56PM



It's not that hard to find the street by street timings around. The BBC torch site has them - and lets you know if it's on schedule on the day...

[www.bbc.co.uk]


Be warned - crowds tend to start gathering at least 30 minutes beforehand. I think the points listed here are the actual torch 'kisses' where it's busier but you do get to see it for longer than when it's just going past.

10:30 Old Kent Road A2

10:41 Trafalgar Avenue B215

10:47 Sumner Road B215

10:52 Peckham Hill Street B215

10:56 Peckham High Street A202

10:57 Peckham Road A202

11:00 Lyndhurst Way

11:00 Harris Academy at Peckham

11:57 Lyndhurst Way

11:57 Peckham Road A202

12:05 Camberwell Church Street A202

12:09 Lambeth

12:09 Denmark Hill A215

12:10 Coldharbour Lane A2217

12:30 Acre Lane A2217

Been & gone. As one shopkeeper said, the last time it was this busy was during the riots.

Imho, good vibe, happy clappy flag waving, kids with their excellent home made flames, friendly smiling police, clean streets and empty odourless bins plus sunshine all of which pleased pretty much everyone - even the local curmudgeons. Win win.

    • Which is why I was careful to specify "the true definition"! A bit like "dilemma", generally used for any tricky decisions but should really be where there are only two options, both with equally bad outcomes...
    • I raise your pedantry. Language evolves and Merriam Webster gives the meaning as "drastically reduced especially in number." The word originally derived from the Roman practice of killing every tenth soldier in a mutinous army but I'm sure nobody uses the word in that context now.
    • Thanks all for the replies.  When the roofer come to look at the roof more recently,  there were holes in the felt in the same place that the original leak had been,  as well as where the new leak is.  There doesn't seem to be a reason why a hole the the felt was the cause of one leak and not the other.  It would have been good to have got everything sorted at the same time,  rather than having to put scaffolding up again.  But my main issue is around the vagueness of a 10 year guarantee.  After work was done the first time,  the roofer gave us a summary of the work and just wrote '10 Yr guarantee' after, without specifying what exactly that means.   If a roofer comes and doesn't diagnose the problem quite right (which i imagine is common with roofs, given it's not always clear what's causing a leak), the guarantee doesn't seem to apply. But anyway,  we'll be getting a different roofer, because we think he should have checked the felt under the tiles the first time round.  
    • We used to feed the birds, but once the parakeets discovered this they just took over, scaring away all the other species and eating everything in sight. I tried scaring them away with a Nerf gun, but they just didn't care. I know it will open a can of worms (no pun intended) but I really think  the parakeet population needs to be reduced; yes they are pretty, but they are just like a plague of locusts when it comes to food supplies.  PS apologies for pedantry @malumbu but the true definition of "decimate" is to reduce by a tenth... 🫤
