Not sure who is responsible for the 'Absolutely Dulwich' freebie magazine but I only hope their sponsors are paying them well. Stylish looking? Asolutely, yes it is. Intelligent? er no it isn't. Elegant? hmmm..it is possibly, but it is filled with absolute dreck. Will 'Absolutely Dulwich' end up in my recycling bin unread? Absolutely.

Absolute Bollox.

As it completed it's journey from my front door mat to the big blue recycling bin in the sky, I noticed as it tumbled to the bottom the words (something like) 'the ethical question' as the lid slammed shut and vaguely in the back of my head the sound 'FFS' echoed.

I think Southwark Life is fine.


I quite often find interesting things in it.


Whereas "Absolutely Dulwich" is, as stated above, a load of boll***s.

I have considered that. However, I am put off by the aesthetic of having such a note on my door. Plus I believe it sets an unfriendly first impression. Not to mention that *some* unsolicited post is quite handy, i.e 'local electrician' etc. First world problems eh?!

You'd employ a local electrician who was so short of word of mouth work that he (or she) had resorted to putting flyers through doors???


Unfair maybe, could be seen as proactive and showing initiative maybe, but ........


:(

I'm obviously going to have to start looking at this publlication with different eyes.

Bloody hell! Some pretty scathing remarks there. I hope November's issue arrives in good time for bonefire night.

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
