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 🤣

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
