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.

    • The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open
    • You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose. 
    • @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?  
    • Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?
