no, I saw that on the way to work, tried to take a pic but my phone was playing up and I had to dash off


a similar thing happened to one of the trees on the pedestrianised area near Herne Hill... though I suspect that might have been from a truck reversing when delivering goods to the local shops. That or they removed it because it was in an awkward place for cyclists... although it didn't look like a very 'clean' job!


I did wonder about the tree on Worlingham... surely it wasn't *that* windy last night?!

Are there beavers in ED ? Interesting question ? A beaver works to remove lumber to build, that tree is still there. They also tend to dam - maybe they would drag it up to the Japanese garden in Dulwich Park.


Did anyone notice the very high winds last night. (All tongue in cheek).

To the Council's credit.

I reported the tree via their Web Site sometime just after 07.30 & it was cut up, chipped & gone by 10.30

Now my report may not have been the first .... but even if it was reported earlier, say 06.00 .... i think that's a decent response time.

Don't suppose Southwark is awash with idle Lumberjacks is it .....

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
