I love the fact that Government and Local authorities reward failure as they expect all the money to be spent and punish those who don't spend it all by reducing what they get next time. This encourages mad spending schemes.


If the system was that they rewarded those that saved money by allowing them to bank the savings and use it for bigger projects later on, then instead of spending on speed bumps we might end up with better facilities locally as they can combine savings over a number of years.


Completely bonkers backwards system IMHO

Are you genuinely suggesting that the council gives money back to the people of East Dulwich? As in, the people who sit in nice ?1 million houses, probably without mortgages due to inheritance etc, and are able to afford to pump out 4 kids and send them to the local private schools? The people who during this crisis have merrily sat in said expensive houses working from home, and having jolly walks around to peruse the delis and bohemian shops of Lordship Lane or maybe a nice stroll to the fabulously wealthy Dulwich Village?


Forgive me, perhaps some of the above folk of East Dulwich may have been furloughed of late, which means things may have got a bit tight. Janina's pony lessons may have to be reduced this year, and Sebastian will only get ?100 pocket money for his rugby team's skiing trip, but i reckon they should get by without receiving back taxpayers money.

Well done to the real Artful for clarifying identities early doors...



Imitation names aside, I am really struggling to determine whether this post is meant to a pisstake or not.....

    • You might be interested in watching this video on you tube. It's from a wildlife gardener called Joel Ashton who regularly posts about his work in that area. Being interested in that kind of thing I follow him a lot. Anyway, a few days ago he posted about his plants being deliberately poisoned allegedly by his neighbour. He is going through the process of taking legal action and videoing this journey. There is another follow up which he posted a couple of days ago . It might be helpful to you. I think I should point out that the alleged culprit is not identified on the video so not breaking any privacy laws in sharing this.
