I love the park, it's incredibly beautiful and peaceful. My favourite tree (the maple on the walk from the main entrance towards the stone bridge in the Japanese garden) is just reaching its annual height of gorgeous foliage.


Don't know Dulwich Park so well, but from what I've seen it's nice too - and as Nero said, the lake is lovely, whereas PRP's is a bit soggy-looking.


It would be nice if the children's playground could be revamped a bit. I always thought it and the Goose Green playground were OK if basic but having now seen the facilities available in places like Highbury - huge sandpits with lots of things to play with, sophisticated climbing frames for various ages, big slides, lots of swings - I've got playground envy.

No it can't be, I'm sure it must be less than 20. I'm 30, and I'm sure it was there in to my teens. Well actually I'm not sure at all, but I'd be really surprised km find I was under 10.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
