Bloody hell this got "lounged" quickly!

I'll support the cause, it's a busy and well known area, and could use a bit of TLC. Would also be nice to feel slightly safer when cutting across it at night!

Are they going to hose down the smackheads, crackheads and park drinkers first before the makeover?

[HonaloochieB]

But make sure it's warm water, some of them look as if they might be a bit 'chesty'.

You don't call, you don't write..

Does he still bake bread though?

Perhaps a barbecue bake off in the summer on Camberwell Green if the makeover get the go ahead.

Thence to the Silver Buckle for celebratory drinks!

In all fairness a nice gastro makeover for the Silver Buckle and replacing Somerfield with a lovely M&S Foodhall would achieve more than any park spruce by the council.

An M&S food hall in Camberwell? And we've had to put up with betting shops opening on prime sites on LL.

Honestly it makes my blood boil and my previously warm heart cockles grow chilly.

It all seems so terribly unjust.

That's the style AD, you're the numpty for the job.

I did cast my vote for the green, but was actually quite torn when I looked at the short list.

Mayow park is very close to where I live, and is a nice little park (with a popular little playground), but very plain, and doesn't look very cared for.

Maryon Park in Charlton is near where I work, and is very interesting from a historical perspective.

Avery Hill Park has a lovely (I'm guessing victorian) winter garden (hothouse) with all sorts of tropical plants, that apparently needs repair.

Another that is not on the list, but that would definitely have gotten my vote for childhood memories would be the Hornimans Triangle. Always depresses me to go past there and see the empty paddling pool and battered old climbing frames! Although that helicoptor was the dogs dangglies when I was a kid.

Ooh, I can just picture, Heston Blumenthal serving olive oil ice-cream and snails while the locals grind to the likes of Jimmy Witherspoon and Nat King Cole, can't wait!!

nd I've no idea what you're talking about old boy, I live in the village donchaknow?

any numpty can tell that you have unfairly lounged this thread.

Not just ANY, Alan, THE if you please!

[Jah Lush]

Joking apart Alan I've signed up and voted.

[mockney piers]

Langford village, the longest village in Europe I'll have you know!

Perhaps this is another case where they should get rid of all the fences around the perimeter. I'm not sure who they were trying to keep out or in, but they don't really make any sense.

Ah, you missed me then.

I got there late because I was on the piss and 'cos Len The Tinker nicked my key, I had to punch him in the head a few times to get it back.

The interpretive firework genital waving got mixed reviews however.

My Catherine Wheel was considered a triumph, my Roman Candle, though risque and not for a younger audience was appreciated for accuracy and energy.

My Rocket, though was generally judged to be a flop.

'A ridiculously ambitious climax, considering it followed the Roman Candle. This man needs to learn about pace' according to Clive James.

Ah well, there's always 2009.
