Events at Harris Girls' Academy this week


Recommended Posts

Hi all


We've got some great events in this week's East Dulwich Literary Festival. All events start at 7.30pm, and tickets are a bargain at ?2.50, and available on the door (or in advance from Rye Books).


Tonight: A tealk on Muriel Spark's surreal early novel 'The Ballad of Peckham Rye' by her official biographer, Professor Martin Stannard


Wednesday: Author Evie Wyld (proprietor of the Review Bookshop in Peckham) will be talking about her award-winning novels. Alongside her, we welcome 'The Bookshop Band', who are fresh from Glastonbury and will be performing a set of songs based around novels.


Thursday: A one-man performance by Charles Dickens' great great grandson. Two one-act pieces, 'Mr Dickens is Coming!' about the great man himself, and 'Doctor Marigold' based upon a lesser known short story by Dickens.


We would love to see you there! Email me on [email protected] if you have any questions.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
