Not sure it's a thread that can work - I mean, a whole suburban area reduced to banal indie bands... but to play along with the concept a little bit, and to extend it further..


If you could change ED to be more like a better band than any of the dullards mention, who would it be, and which areas are aready like that?


As for quids decription of Coldplay, not a lot wrong with being nice and decent. Can't see much wrong with BEING middle-class either. Coldplay's problem is shit songs...


Oh I've just realised! This isn't a thread about any of those things - it's just another tiresome excercise in easy mockery/flaggelation! Doh....

Oh I dunno, nothing wrong with a bit of self-mockery. ED isn't all that sacred - unless it's because I live in Peckham?! ::o


Agree it's a bit silly to make sweeping generalisations about race or class, especially if the intent is to come up with a not-very-serious assessment of the area. But if we can side-step those minefields (yeah, right) then can't we have a bit of fun with this one?

Exactly bloody right!!!


Perhaps the original post was a bit aff, but I like the idea of this thread. And I hate the defensiveness that it has inspired! Then again, the staff in Threshers who are all about to lose their jobs are just a bunch of chavs aren't they.

    • Aria came round and quickly found a simple solution to a leaking shower. No fuss and avoided complicated work. Excellent
    • Comparing to Week 11 last season, the table is a lot more compact, even the distance between top and bottom is half of what it was when RC was a runaway leader on 90+ points. Also worth remembering there are 25 or so game weeks left, so any points difference can slowly be eroded away. Week 11 points...   Week 11 table....      
    • Some people don’t like it, some people will love it.  It doesn’t bother me at all. In fact I quite like it. I do not like assumptions you make about ‘elderly people’. 
    • This concerns me as it essentially disregards the significant number of people who do experience a high level of disruption because of the event.  While it's great that you personally are not inconvenienced, this is absolutely not the case for a great many residents many of whom are elderly or who do not have private gardens and rely on the park.   Great that you have a PHD in ecology but might also be worth reading the report into the environmental impact of Gala which paints a rather different story to yours. This comes round every year with a request to extend. This seems to me to be a distraction to steer everyone away from the main event. However, Southwark Council and Councillor Catherine Rose in particular must bear responsibility for what is effectively privatisation of our community space.  I requested data on the results of the last consultations and had to use a subject access request to get it.  In 2024 the council received 111 responses of which 108 were negative. The event went ahead. Last year they received 136 of which 82 were negative and 34 said only with major changes (which did not happen).   The impact of the event on the community and the enviroment is well-documented.  The council has so far refused to supply data on the demographics of the attendees but it doesn't take much to work out that this is largely single under 30s from out of borough judging by the steady stream of people from the station.   Please do take time to protest and also to email Events as we try to hold the council accountable for their disregard of the public consultation results.
