Don't know why I put Frames.. I meant Tables....


I use DIVs and (AP DIVS new to Dreamweaver CS6)(Formally Layers) defined in CSS which can be then positioned

anywhere on the page and have Transitions applied to them.

Charlie MM? I spent a personable Saturday with him a couple of Saturdays ago - when the 6 x 6 had to be extended. Going to throw my head in on Saturday to see if the bars open, hopefully will be if you are there tomorra. He did say they hoped to have a soft launch all being well this week. Good luck to them.

So do I. I was very surprised. I'm sure the food will be worth the money, but I shan't be able to afford to eat there.


I suppose it's a "community" pub for the rich part of the community. The way this area is going, that's probably most of the community.


Oh well. Good luck to them. I must admit from the way things were going earlier in the year I never thought it would get this far, so I have been proved wrong.

Back to the street art on the side of the Patch, the original purpose of this thread.

If you would like to meet one of the people who organised the street art around Dulwich - me - Im giving a talk/showing a short film/brokering a discussion tomorrow evening (Wed 14th) at 7.30 upstairs at the EDT. Its part of the Dulwich Festival http://www.dulwichfestival.co.uk/event/dulwich-street-art-inside-story

I can explain why the stars and stripes, let you know what the artist, Mear One, is like, and debate the inevitable issues associated with street art. Im dying to meet some of the people behind these EDF names!

Gosh, I never knew that but now when you look at the two, there is a lady and child on the right hand side of the Hanbury Road mural that look almost the same as those in Pellat Road. There is also a very similar hand gesture in both murals.

Care to expand on this supposition?


I see you have just joined the forum and both your posts so far are on this topic.

Yes...same signature too.

My posts so far have been on this topic as this is a thread about that topic.

And I'd say it's more than a supposition; do I need to provide my own evidence? Several party members have left recently over the issue, which of course they've been investigated for. I just thought the existence of a very prominent mural by a racist artist - who is also a very politically-motivated one, I'd say - doesn't seem a good thing, to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mear_One

I'm not partisan, and do not want to enter a discussion on the Labour (or any other) party.

So why did you bring Labour into it at all then?


My understanding was that it was The Patch who had commissioned this mural, or else that it was done as part of the ongoing street art project in association with Dulwich Art Gallery, but if that's not the case, I'm sure somebody on the forum will know.
