Posted before on this thread but they need to introduce Low Pedestrian Neighbourhoods in this part of LL. Perhaps some planters forcing people to the other side of the road. Obviously winners and losers if this was done and no doubt those who don't usually use the other side of the street will be peed off on pedestrian displacement.

have just re-read your first post on this thread:

Are you are seriously suggesting that LTN's should be used to deter customers from patronising local business? There is quite a lot of this chat on Twitter at the min, whereby certain pro factions are aggressively targeting local traders. IMHO this is not constructive nor a good look!

Still long lines running up Bassano Street at lunchtime. In fact most of Lordship Lane is a long line for various shops. Glad to see many are still trying to support their local traders - they need all the help they can get right now.

Madness.. There will be so much waste after Christmas..


Every year in the UK, approximately 7 million tonnes of food is wasted.


Just during the Christmas, 2 million turkeys, 5 million Christmas puddings, and 74 million mince pie get disposed

while still edible, causing almost 270,000 tons of food waste in total during this widely celebrated holiday.

Is this because people buy them and don't eat them, or because the shops get too much food in?


If the latter, why isn't the surplus given to food banks or the homeless (well, probably not raw turkey to the homeless)?

Best is we started doing what our parents, grand parents and great grandparents did in WWII and keep chickens and rabbits that we could then slaughter ourselves. Obviously if you have a yard. Or better still we all had grazing rights eg using Goose Green for our goats and sheep. That would elevate SE22 well above other similar areas of London.

I went past at 1pm and they were open, but the queue was only 4 people outside the shop.

    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
