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".

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?

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.

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...

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.

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.

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'.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
