?$%& 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?

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
