I don't know about the merits of which minutiae warrant discussion here or not, but wish there was such an active forum where I live. I looked for one after joining here and all I could find had about a year's worth of messages (can you recommend a good au pair, plumber, good school without a waiting list etc) on a whole page from people spread all across the area it was meant to be aimed for. Maybe people north of the river just don't want to talk to each other. I've lived here all my life and that's probably the case.

KD you're a very sweet chap. Your neighbours should work harder!


On the li'l ol' lady, please take my concern and consideration for here well being as given, but..


I feel that we should have a responsibility to our community that sits hand-in-hand with our ego. It's not responsible to create derelict high streets by restricting access to commercial property. It's turning into an ED habit, with the place adjacent to Blue mountain as a further example.


Planning permission should work both ways - we're not entitled to turn our front rooms into shops, and we shouldn't be allowed to turn shops into front rooms. It's f*cked up.


(Yes I know, broken record, I have posted on this before ;-))

I don't think she did this though? I think she just lives on the top 2 floors and chose not to re-let the ground floor commercial premises? The main thrust of your point still applies of course - although there are former commercial properties all over ED that have been converted to residentials. Sometimes there is just no longer any commercial demand.

Don't believe everything you read in the Southwark Press.

Morning, Glad she is ok. Lots of people have been after this property it seems. Unfortunately with the current climate and degree of damage this place will be worth less sorry to say. She could have made a fortune had she sold up a couple of years ago.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • 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
