*Wanders into quiet room with towel on head wearing big fluffy bathrobe*


"OHMYGOD! I have such a hangover. I drank so much I was hallucinating and I thought that I saw Michael Palaeologus wearing womens underwear!"


*Flops down into purple velvet armchair, pulls enormous acrylic bra out from beneath cushion.*


*Thinks to self - "this looks strangely familiar..."*


(IT'S NOT MINE, CLEARLY(before you even say it Michael...I NEVER WEAR MAN MADE FIBRES)

*Noooooooooooooooooooo shan't, you will make me eat from the red and shiny side of the muffin' and that will be my undoin' andtheresnomistakin'.*


*Peeks round sofa to see Dulwichmum inexplicably italicised*


*Bounds from behind sofa, equally inexplicably dressed as a Victorian Cockney boy-chimney sweep. Rods and brushes beneath arms, face covered in soot, clutching own lapels, does cheery high stepping prancey-dance to the tea-pot. Helps self to a cup of Rosey- Lee and a slice of Plum Duff*


*So, DM what did you think of the Queens Speech? Hmm?*


*I am sure I saw you on the TV in the background at the House of Lords - dusting*

*Congratulates Michael for the above line ... sheer genious!*


"Indeed I was not a cleaner in the background at the House of Lords, I was doing a cash job repairing some pointing on Donkey Alley at the time."


*Cunningly flips ruby encrusted gold ring open and slips some mysterious powder into Michaels drink, watches smirking as Michael finishes off his cup of Rosie Lee...*

*Wiggles round in a pumpkiny way to watch telly. Its the Rememberance Service on Whitehall. Who's that, at the back, my, its Dulwichmum, doing us proud. Wait, "DM - you missed a leaf, over there, in the bit of gutter that you forgot to sweep"*


*Cant get the staff nowadays. Still, glad hallowen is behind us*

    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣
    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly. 
    • https://www.letslinkuk.net/ I'm interested to know why the OP didn't find this sort of scheme to work, as I would have thought it was much harder to find someone to do a direct exchange with? Does anybody else have experience of a scheme like this? Happy to be persuaded!
