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.

      Lost Cat Henslowe & Underhill Road

      By jfern · Posted

      Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
