Hi everyone, we just launched a website called People's Republic of Southwark, a place to read and talk about a range of environmental issues in the borough.


We are two Camberwell based artists who believe that there are many little and big things we can all do, individually or together, to improve our lives, improve the environment, relearn to breathe and let the planet do the same before it's too late.


People's Republic of Southwark is a place to


* write and/or read about current environmental issues in the borough

* exchange ideas and share your experiences

* find out about resources and funding available in Southwark for environmental initiatives

* learn about what other people are doing, and how you can get involved

* get support for any environmental projects you are involved with



People's Republic of Southwark is about all of us. All you need to do is register and make a difference.


If you have any queries, please contact us at [email protected]

Wouldn't it be far better if we had The Peoples Republic of Dulwich?


I mean, we are such a super perfect and divine oasis of green loveliness here in SE21/22 - nothing at all like our neighbouring Southwark areas of Peckham (OHMYGOD) Forest Hill (yawn) Camberwell (yikes), Herne Hill (snore) or Norwood (inhales sharply...) which is only Lambeth and should not be permitted to be our neighbour at all.


Why don't we campaign to have Dulwich turned into a gated community? We could build an enormous wall (I believe that they once had similar in Berlin and Belfast) sigh. I feel sure it could work. We could pay some small extra tax to for beefy men to patrol the perimeter with big dogs - darling Chavlet avec a law degree is sure to be able to suggest some burley boys(swoon)!


Does anyone fancy a G&T?

Honaloochie, no, we're artists.


The name to the website is a reference to 'People's republic of Judea' or 'Judean people's republic' - there is a great number of good things going on in Southwark, a lot of small or largeish groups of people are trying to do good things (from reducing the use of plastic bags to improving cycling facilities etc), some of them have websites, some of them don't - People's Republic of Southwark is the place where they can all talk about it, share experiences, get help with things if they need it etc.

Perhaps you could have called it 'Romans in Southwark' ('What have the Romans ever done for us?' etc. etc.)

I dream of wolf nipple chips but you can't get the she wolves..........................................I wonder if they do substitutes,(?)

pit-bull nipple chips down the OKR yet.



Did I ever tell you PGC I always read your posts

they're such good value, and very informative.

I think I am falling in love:-$

"Know your own history, you disgraceful mob, Hengist and Horsa were English*."


Actually, PGC, Mockers was on topic with a reference to the snacks for sale at the meeting of the People's Front of Judaea.


Also, DM, I take great and sniffy offence at your disparagement of Peckham. I'll have you know I live in Posh Peckham. And I like to think it's all the posher for having me in it.


*except for those of you who aren't English. Kentish, in fact. Or disgraceful. Or a mob. But you know what I mean. I think. Or do you? Do I?..

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
