Nunhead forum

[vivienne]

The nunhead forum looks like the E.Dulwich forum but doesn't work. Can any of you old hands help and get us nunheaders off your forum?

[Mark]

Hi, it was set us as a test forum but never actually "turned on" in the background so all you actually see is the front end. One day it maybe turned on if there's enough interest.

[andycawdell]

Well as a Nunhead residents as well as East Dulwich users we would be interested

[snoozequeen1]

Could there be a Waverley Gardens forum? And signs saying, "You are now entering Waverley Gardens. Please behave."

[vivienne]

I think you should take it on snoozequeen!

[snoozequeen1]

I think you are a much properer person, as would I be right in guessing you are actually famous (as counts for hereabouts anyway) and are actually the same Vivienne who spoke and all on a radio programme that was on BBC 7 in middle of night recently. I had flu so might have been hallucinating, I seem to recall an antelope and some very nice guitar music which I wouldn't have minded dying to, and then, this chap who is coming Thurs starting taking to a Vivienne...really, I wouldn't have wittered on at you if I had known you were so posh.

It is not fair really I expect if you start a Nunhead Forum it will all focus on the unattainable glamour of Nunhead Lane and down here we will be left with nothing to say but "Is Ivydale the longest and most boring road in the world?" "Yes" "Hm, I thought so".

[vivienne]

No I am not famous although I have performed under the Alias of "The artist who formally wishes not to be introduced". The Antelope (Kevin Eldon) and the guitarist (Most probably Antonio Forcione) where brought together on the "Big Booth" for Radio 4 By no less than the hugely talented and wonderfully comic performer and musician BOOTHBY GRAFFOE who is on on Thursday at PULL THE OTHER ONE

"and then, this chap who is coming Thurs starting taking to a Vivienne...really, I wouldn't have wittered on at you if I had known you were so posh"

. What Chap? Where? When?

what makes you think I'm posh? is it my accent? (actually I grew up with a Welsh accent) When I came to London in my late teens I was told it was important that I lost my accent or I would not get any work. ...this was a long time ago...and of course that wouldn't be allowed now,...If someone said that now, the accent police would be on them!!

Hey some of my proudest work I've done as a Cockney!!

Don't worry Snooze Queen I have no intention of starting anything or focusing on unattainable glamour....I just want to have a bit of a larf innit!

You're right, Sorry about Ivydale road it really is very long and very boring .I rode down it yesterday and thought ...fancy having to to walk this every morning and to Work! and then all the way home at the end of the day!. Maybe the Forum could apply for a tree top walk to be built along the wall of the cemetry so that commuters could have some views and green on their way to work...or better still a little tram shuttle just going up and down the road...it would be a great opportunity for people to socialize....Same driver, all the old folks taken care of . Too uncool for the teenagers to travel on.....the knitting group could meet on it!! ooops I seem to have gone off at a tangent....maybe I am posh...is it nice of you to say so? I can't really tell, mind you if you dont witter on at posh people what does that say about me to you?

[snoozequeen1]

Posh is just what I would count anyone who has been on Radio 4 (and poss even BBC7). It's extremely posh for round here.

It is good you have experienced Ivydale Road, it may be responsible for the general air of low spirits that affects us. Riding it is cheating though. To get the full benefit you do have to walk it, twice a day, 5 days (x 47 weeks).

Treetop walk is idea of genius. There is a path that runs along the other side of the cemetery from Borland Rd down to the station but it's so narrow and scary that not used. It could be infilled with building rubble and raised to tree height, thus creating delightful and stimulating daily experience and transforming entire population and area.

Please put in bid for funds.

[vivienne]

I think there would be too many objections regards "overlooking" etc...didn't you like the idea of the shuttle better?

[snoozequeen1]

What, a bus that would run regularly up and down Ivydale Road? Now that's just fantasy.

Are you having any luck with Nunhead Forum? (Can't wait for dicussions on where to buy the best fish and chips. (The fish and chip shop) or the best Chinese (the Chinese)).

[vivienne]

I dont want to talk to you anymore....I feel slightly swiped or depressed or as if nothing is worth anything when reading your contributions. Are you bitter and twisted in the same way that I am Posh?

[snoozequeen1]

It's living in "south Nunhead" that does it.

In truth all natives must be jolly grateful for your bringing entertainment to our doorstep.

Also perhaps if you do get Nunhead Forum going area will spring to life, you know, as in, "if you build it, they will come".

[Mark]

It's a time thing I'm afraid, if I ever get time I will try and get the Nunhead Forum to work but at the moment there's no chance. Unless there someone out there who has a bit of computer knowledge who wants to help...

[malleymoo]

Any progress on the possibility of a nunhead forum there certainly seems to be some desire from ED forumites for nunheaders to not raise nunhead issues.

[Mark]

There has been no progress on the Nunhead forum I'm afraid but now I know there's interest I can put it back on the "things to do" list.

[karter]

I think that it should be a Peckham SE15 forum and that Nunhead comes under it.

I don't understand why? No one from Peckham has asked for a forum but some people from Nunhead have. I think people are preferring it to be based in on the area "Nunhead" than the postal code but I may be wrong.

I guess it's best to ask those who would use a forum for Nunhead, would they prefer to have the Nunhead Forum or their own section of the Peckham Forum? Let us know...

[edited once]

[karter]

I think a Nunhead section in a Peckham forum is the way to go. Nunhead doesn't have that many shops etc so many not create much traffic being on its own. That's just what i think.

[KalamityKel]

And yet it's not Peckham... That's like suggesting there be an official Peckham section on this Forum...

Just saying

[karter]

I used to live in Nunhead years ago and its post code is SE15. The address went like this;

Evelina Road,

Nunhead,

Peckham,

London SE15. Technically Nunhead, Queens road, Peckham etc are all part of each other. The 'trendies' that live in Nunhead nowadays probably would prefer not be part of Peckham.

Peckham/Nunhead is SE15, KK, not SE22.

[Mark]

No one is saying that it's in SE22, we all agree that it is in SE15, the I think point is that it is Nunhead, and some people who live in Nunhead have asked for a Nunhead forum i.e. not a Nunhead forum which is part of a Peckham forum.

Oh and technically the address for Sopers is:

F C Sopers

141 Evelina Road

LONDON

SE15 3HB

No mention of Wandsworth at all.

[karter]

You are the boss Mark. Bring it on, the Nunhead forum.

[Mark]

I'm not really the boss when it comes to naming an area, it's the people who use the forums who swing it, if they're happy it'll be more likely to work. I'm still waiting to hear what people who would use a Nunhead specific forum say...

[karter]

I didn't mean about naming an area. i mean't about creating the forum, as you have done with this one and the WDF. You are, the creator......the terminator....

[Huguenot]

I never really knew where Nunhead precisly covered.

Apparently these are the wards...

'17' is titled Nunhead.

I was surprised it went so far north, and seems to encompass quite a lot of areas that I thought of as Peckham.

Given that Nunhead has it's own rights and representation, I'd see no reason for feeling it to be a 'burb of Peckham. Stand up for your rights I say.

I reckon Peckham's getting a bit uppity if it wants to consider itself a 'district'.
