Just wondering if anyone has noticed the large numbers of people gathering outside the Carlton Centre on Alpha Street/Choumert Road making huge amounts of noise (including music), or am I the only person who finds this extremely offensive and aggressive behaviour towards local residents?

Doesn't sound like an Eid party to me.


Most of my Moslem (of Moslem cultural backgrounds) friends drink (though, mainly, not to excess) - as a militant atheist of a Christian cultural background, I celebrate Christmas, many non-Moslems celebrate other cultural festivals, such as Eid or Divali, with their friends who do have these festivals in their cultural background.


If Christian cultural festivals were only to be celebrated by fully practicing Christians, shops in the UK would all be bust by now (OK huge generalisation, but most retailers make their profits in November-December) and chocolate sales (Easter) would plummet.


So drinking at an Eid party? - perfectly possible.

It's been like a party (on Saturday Evening) for a number of weeks now.


Hot weather ?

Yes, there are many that drink, but I assure you that it wouldn't happen at an Islamic gathering; particularly one that celebrates the most important occasion!


Besides, the ones that are not fully practising try to take part in religious events by adopting the "spirit" of the event and would respect the cultural norms. So unless they are an alcoholic I'm sure they would put down their drink for a few hours....

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By Ryeman · Posted

      I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional.

      Tessa Jowell centre car park.

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients.

      Leaves on East Dulwich streets

      By Katherty · Posted

      Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.

      BYO restaurants

      Amrutha is excellent, unless you are died in the wool meat and two veg most will find the food to their taste and it certainly isn't a place that expects you to be a sandal wearing vegan. Recommend Matoon too, there are many great places in SE23, SE4 and SE26 if you get chance to get on a bus. Don't have takeaways very often and would only do this when they employ their own delivery people due to all the issues with the slave labour that is Deliveroo and the like (and numerous other issues).  Yes it is a different thread but I can't stop myself reminding people.
