?$%& me,i dont think i,ve of anything more stereotypically insulting, palm trees in peckham,whats the idea to make the afro-carribean population feel more at home or just to provide extra cover.

saying that i still remember the old bacardi ad shown in the cinema in the 90s in which an exotic island took the place of peckham.

Mr Mockney, are you a cactus fan? I am. Country spray do great, large euphorbia for about ?30. I've had 2. Smaller species are available too. And there is a house near the Forest Hill Rd end of Dunstan's that has a greenhouse in the front garden with MASSIVE cacti. V impressive. 'Tis all, Nero.


PS I am all for using species that are drought resistant, but I think palms and yucca are naff. Other species could be found that are more inkeeping with the natural environment, such as gingko (not a native species, obv, but at least they look like other deciduous trees.)

Keef, I'm liking the idea of mobile phone music wars! I'm going to download all the Gun & Roses I can find! And how about some Metallica or (shudder) Nickleback! Yeah! (starts headbanging enthusuastically!)


nero, yuccas and some palms are really naff but some palms are nice - Cycas revoluta (Sago palm) is nice! I wonder what palms they've planted?

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
