I met the guy who was making one outside the library yesterday - it's a really interesting project - part of dulwich festival and each scarecrow is based on a dulwich historical person, Edward Alleyn, Enid Blyton, even a hermit who used to live in Dulwich woods! They are made from living willow so will grow one day - apparently this Saturday all the scarecrows will be gathered at the library to be viewed all together before their final planting. It's a lovely project for the community and schools involved - though sadly the guy said one has already been vandalised and one stolen which is crazy and will ruin enjoyment for local residents who want to look and appreciate them!

Here we go again. Middle class self congratulations. It's basically what we called as kids a 'Guy Fawkes' that you'd use to beg for cash and then burn on a bonfire November 5th, but oh now, apparently in some contemporary modern

twist it's now a scarecrow with cultural references to Dulwich. Unbelievable. Giant imaginary clap for middle class cultural originality.

    • Was planning to come on here to ask if anyone might know which celeb/royal came through Lordship Lane yesterday - was on my way up to Spurs, on bus at the roundabout by the EDT when some whistling police cyclists pulled the traffic to the side of the road to allow a biggish range rover to shoot past, on the way up towards Dog Kennel Hill. Could only make out two, maybe middle-aged, men in the front before it passed. Mildly hysterical lady on pavement was laughing/screeching with her friend that they were desperately trying to find out who it was. Had more reason to post after this lunchtime's experience. Had just got to bus stop opposite the M&S by the station when some mini cooper thing bombed through the traffic, swerving across to cut up another car to get up the hill, before two or three police cars followed about 20 seconds behind. Said mini cooper thing then reappeared coming the other way, beeping its horn to get other cars out the way before it bombed up what I think was Elsie Road, with police cars now on both sides of the road by Maxin trying to stop traffic getting in the way/half the speeding car. Bit more than I had bargained for when I set out/want in local area! Stay careful out there folks, this place is getting scarier...
    • The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open
    • You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose. 
    • @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?
