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!

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
