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!

    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
