I’d prefer the UK to be a republic, so not interested.


However, if those who feel differently want to celebrate then it doesn’t bother me. That said, it’s 2023 not 1953 so shifting all the parked cars around here would be quite the feat!

For those wanting to join into the spirit of the occasion, the deadline for applying is 28 February and fast approaching.

That was well publicised by the council 🙈

I don't have strong feelings either way but, yes, the bias is plain for all to see, especially when we consider the rationale for extending Gala in the park to a month has been built around the narrative of the Council's really strong desire to fund free community events.


It will be fascinating to see which ' community' events they push and which not.

I'm interested to hear if CPR Dave is organising anything for Crystal Palace Rd or anywhere else.

Its a once in a generation event (hopefully)

Aside from abdication, it is pretty much a once in a generation event by definition...

A generation is generally taken as 30 years. That means that on average people might expect at least 2 and possibly 3 coronations in their lifetime. This will be my second. I'm the same age (give or take) as the King so it will be a toss up whether he or I pegs out first.

Crystal Palace Road is a major through route so doubt permission would be granted tbh. We've never had a street party before.

 

There have been several street parties in Crystal Palace Road.


The part of the road between The Actress and what is now The Great Exhibition was closed, with no problem getting council permission.


On one occasion the CPR party combined with Ulverscroft Road.


My partner and I ran the live music for the CPR parties, and once for Ulverscroft Road.


They only stopped because some of the people involved in organising them moved out of the area, and nobody else was interested in helping.


The remaining organisers, including us, felt it was too much work for just a few people.


I don't think any of them were connected with royal events. We were conveniently out of London for those 🤣

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
