My last post seems to have disappeared from the thread????


:-S



Edited to say: It said that I felt that trying to compare entertainment was trying to compare chalk and cheese ... where's it gone?!


On request I had cleaned up this thread so that a number irrelevant messages were removed, the original poster wants to keep this as "on topic" as possible - The Administrator

Hoopers is 100 yards from having an SE22 post code and less than 500 yards from ED station. However its 1/2 mile from Denmark Hill station and a mile from Camberwell Green. Yes you're correct its got a Camberwell post code but how many people define where they live by their post code. People live in areas that border other areas which means there are blurred definitions. No boundary will please everyone but using a post code strikes me as being clumsy.

As I said before: "The border will be SE22/East Dulwich only, we have to draw a line somewhere and the SE22 border seems like the most obvious way to do it, but we would consider moving it based on nominations received."


To expand further, say Hoopers gets nominated for something then we'll include because it's close by the SE22 border, however if The White Hart in Bath was nominated then we won't include it because it's not close by the SE22 border. This seems like an obvious way to do it to us but please let us know if you have a better suggestion.


Categories are being decided tomorrow, any more good suggestions?

Postcode snobbery. Oglander, Ondine and Coplestone Road are all SE15. A matter of minutes from East Dulwich Station. Hayes Grove is SE22. It is adjacent to Copleston Road. St. John's Church on East Dulwich Road is SE22. The school attached on Adys Road is SE15!!!!! The lovely new chocolate shop in Bellenden Road is SE15. Bellenden Village innit!


I like the way your mind works JamesG.

Cate & JamesG, all the places you mention are great, as are other places in Peckham/Camberwell. Believe me, if I could vote for Ganapati, I would in a flash, but they simply are not in East Dulwich, and if these are the East Dulwich awards arranged by the people at the East Dulwich Forum, I don't see how you can call that snobbery, it is just geography, plain and simple.


I doubt organisers of a Peckham awards, of Forest Hill awards would allow someone to noninante the Bishop.

Keef, my point is simple. Defining East Dulwich by post code is crude and simple. Hoopers for example (with a Camberwell postcode) is considerably closer to the social centre of ED than Camberwell. We do not dictate our purchasing behaviour or social behaviour by postcodes. For example I may go out for a drink in Clapham but not SW12!!! If when voting starts there are considerable votes for The Duke in Nunhead for example it should be registered and counted. After all the purpose is to ascertain where we like going/shoping/eating etc ?locally?, not where we like going up to a set of road boundaries as defined by the Royal Mail in the 60?s!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
