Grand Designs in East Dulwich

Recommended Posts

Hi Snowboarder. That was weird because my neighbour told me yesterday that he'd just been snowboarding and then he said he wanted to go along and see the eco-houses. My neighbour said it was the first time he had done snowboarding and that he loved it! I might have to try it one day.

Hi Nero


I think it will be after the last TV shoot has been done (which is tomorrow) and one house has been fully completed.


They were aiming to have one house completed by tomorrow. The TV company came around my house today looking for people to talk on camera tomorrow. I'm busy tomorrow but I'm sure some other residents will be around to give their views.


My guess is that after tomorrow is over, Talisman will post again about a good time to view. I'm looking forward to finding out about all the environmental side - it should be very interesting!

Hi Forumers - thanks for your patience, we are burning lots of midnight oil this week in a bid to getting close to presenting a finished house for the final TV shoot Weds/Thurs/Fri. "Tour" probably early to mid May when we have all had 48 hours of consecutive sleep and can talk coherently again. Bear with us. Helpful if someone could pls keep a track of numbers in case we need to arrange 2 smaller groups - think there were around 15/16 "tourists" last time I tried to count? We are pretty flexible so will be in touch with date/s asap - logging on getting difficult now as furniture is being packed up ready for imminent move. Am looking forward to living in Landells Road and being active ED Forumer. Regards: Talisman

Another latecomer!


Please, please can I come too? If there is still room? (I am a rabid Grand Designs Watcher by the way, especially now it's on the other cable channels. I must confess that I also have my moments of shouting things at the telly along the lines of 'more money than sense!!' and 'are they mad!? - but also 'WOW! Look at that!!')

there's no ceiling on the number of people we can show around - the more the merrier really, we'll just split the group into two smaller ones if we get too many for one tour. That way there will also be a couple of date options which might be useful.

Regards: Talisman

Hello there Talisman


My wife and I live on Landells Road and have been following the development of your eco-homes with interest. Like a lot of folk, we're big Grand Design fans, and we'd love to have a guided tour when the dust settles!


Best of luck with the development and the filming!


Cheers.

Shocker-ama, EDNerd is abroad (practising talking about herself in the 3rd person), so alas, to Kev's bitter disappointment, no doubt, will not be there to welcome him in her own special way.


PS I hope I make the cut for the final programme and that my banal comments do not lead Kev to shun me.

Hi Forum-ers, big week looming for Talisman, hope you have all booked your armchairs for 9pm on Weds. We are heading towards d-day with anxious trepidation now. Pass the big cushions! We have quickly put a website together with lots of details about the Landells Road houses, if you are interested you can visit it at www.ecoism.co.uk. Will get back to you asap re a date to show you around, we are still working on the second house so still v busy but nearly on to the final leg - the access alley and, of course, replacing the infamous blue gates. Rgds, Talisman

My congrats also - very impressive buildings. Liked the programme so much I even watch the "Trade Secrets" on More Four afterwards and the "experts" on the panel there really liked it too.


One question, why did they have an aversion to saying where the houses actually were? Was always just referred to as "South London".

Can't believe I missed all this - only joined forum yesterday, read this thread this morning and missed the show last night!!!

Does any one know when the cable channel repeats the show?

Talisman - do you know if there will be a repeat in the near future?

    • FredMarsh Started conversation: 6 minutes ago I must agree ! Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant ! The erection of coral fencing  to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible. The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone ! Just a couple of attended checkouts left,  sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag.  What could be easier or more efficient ? If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss. If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform  running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly  shortly afterwards )  It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral. There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. ! Why do I go there? Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !! And NO !   I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike

    • We do not go there anymore, it used to be a pleasant experience, but now shoppers are made to feel like criminals and the prices are not great. The till receipt gates to stop us nicking stuff do not work half the time - I would rather shop somewhere that makes me feel welcome. We also want to support our local independents, so we are trying to eat cheaper using less costly ingredients and buy local - it's a good way for us also to lose some weight! Veg and pulses.....and less booze 😞
    • Has seemed really empty over the past few weeks, with hardly anyone in the store on Thursday lunchtime, have I missed something or are people shopping somewhere else?
