ungrateful little bollix's


Where is everyone's heart? Doesn't the bit that makes you think you are on "holiday" make your heart skip a little bit?


Maybe not - maybe "F*** it - make it a 36" raised concrete circle to better facilitate traffic" - nothing says "ahhh - back in Dulwich like a 36" raised concrete circle"

Yup, but it will get lonely and may pine (palm?) for more of its mates with him.

The row of Palm trees and yukkas on the Peckham stretch sometimes look a bit badly kept.

They're tough trees, but they do need a bit of tending to since they are not in their natural habitat.

I hope they develop a healthy defence against car fumes.

They remind me of holidays too. Your post is right and appropriate SmG!

As I can't afford a holiday at present - no, I'd prefer not to be reminded of places outside ED or indeed the UK :))

People are not necessarily moaning or being cynical just because they say they don't like something, different folfs/different strokes and all that. I've not even noticed it when I've been by yet, but frankly a palm tree would have been pretty low on my list.


I also worry how long it will last before getting kicked down by some friendly drunken soul.

I think any friendly drunken soul's entire foot would be in plaster for weeks if they tried to kick that palm tree down.

In some areas of London like Edmonton there are arches across the roads either side welcoming people to the area. I am in two minds about this: I think it's nice the council is trying to be (on behalf of its residents) welcoming, but yet it is unnecessary as the area (and the people in other words) should speak for themselves and be friendly and welconing!


Anyway, I love the palm trees in Peckham and East Dulwich, and Yukkas, and if I was boss I would turn the traffic lights junction of top of Barry Road / Lordship lane to a roundabout and put a palm tree on that, too.


A new thread looms....

Never seen such a ridiculous spectacle in all my life. I think it would be more at home in Kew than round here, in fact how about somewhere in the Caribbean or Pacific? What an utter waste of my council tax. I have a crap waste dispoal service, the police and other public services are rarely if ever used (and if they are they turn out to be not very helpful). I think this thing should be put back in it's rightful home and a statue of me should be erected on the roundabout, I might be a little less p*ssed off about how wasteful this council is then!


Louisa.

    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
    • No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
