What happened?

Highly recommend Balfe's for servicing, they do a great job with my old bike, which I wouldn't trust Evans with. Evans are useful if you need clothes/accessories etc right away, as they have a wide range of stock in (and they do a LCC discount) but if I can wait I buy online, will usually be cheaper.

The Tiger Tea tea man is on the market today. He is only there once a month.


Lovely fellow. Bought some English Breakfast with Assam blend.


Ok does not sound very exciting but already have some Orange Ceylon Pekoe and some Gunpowder Green Tea.


Delightful.

Now look, no one minds this constant referring to yourself in the third person (after all, everyone who considers themselves a 'real character' does it don't they?) but at least be consistent would you please?

Apropos not very much, I do like this from the legend that is Chris Hoy:

Chris Hoy thinks that the day Chris Hoy refers to Chris Hoy in the third person is the day that Chris Hoy disappears up his own a***.

Chris Hoy on being asked what Chris Hoy thought of Chris Hoy

Resist what? I suppose next you'll be complaining about there being clouds over your street blown in from Clapham. At least this is what Meds thinks.

I was not complaining about anything..


I say something negative and get a tirade of abuse ..


I say something positive and I get stick...


People need to concentrate more on the dozens of posts from me that aim to help

those seeking information on local amenities and facilities.

I've been busy and am only half way through wading through all the posts on this thread but in case no one else noticed DulwichFox's error, there is (or at least has been until very recently) a Jamaican restaurant on East Dulwich Road. I get take away from there a few times a year.

Also, I ate at the Japanese place and its good.


The Nigiri pieces are for 2 pieces, the sashimi prices are for 3. The sushi roll is 6 pieces.


The Black cod was a bit sweet for my tastes but well cooked.


The deserts were good.


Overall, I'll be back.

it looked like a clothes market inside a shop when I passed a few days ago - is it going to be a restaurant?

Louisa, please I beg you... give it a rest. We know you don't like... well, lot's of people it seems, and that in your mind East Dulwich if full of people from Clapham, Peckham is Shoreditch and you literally can't step outside without being mowed down by cyclists, buggies or skateboarders, but it's getting so boring. You've made the point. You've made it many times. Change the record.
A restaurant so great that people (apart, apparently, from Louisa) stopped going to it. Whatever its absolutle merits, failing to meet the needs of its addressable customer base meant it lost its business. Tough. I have no brief for 'posh tat' - and if the (current crop of) locals don't either, it, too, will fail. But to wish to preserve some mythic past that you alone feel comfortable with, to the exclusion of the needs of those around you, is, well, sad. And stop being rude to people who are prepared to move round SE London. With your hatred of 'blow-ins' you make UKIP's case for them.

    • Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?
    • There was another unprovoked attack on Monday this week on a young woman nearby (Anstey Road) at 6.45pm. Don't have any other details, it was posted on a Facebook group by her flatmate. Pretty worrying  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EGfDrCAST/
    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.
    • Licensing application for 2026 has gone in and they want to extend the event from 4 to 7 days accross two weekends.  There are some proposed significant changes to be aware of:   Event proposal moves to two separate weekends Number of days of the festival moves from 4 to 7 meaning also a change in the original licence is required Expected footfall in the park over the two weekends around 60,000.    Dear Peckham Rye Park Stakeholder,   Re: STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION – event application: ‘GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’ – ref: SWKEVE000935   We are writing to you because you have previously identified yourself as someone who wishes to be informed about event applications for Peckham Rye Park, or we think that you might have an interest in knowing about this particular event application.   Please be aware that the council are in receipt of an event application for: GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’   In line with the council’s Outdoor Events Policy and events application process we are carrying out consultation regarding this application.   The following reference documents are attached to this email:   Consultation information APPENDIX A – site plan weekend 1 APPENDIX B – site plan weekend 2 APPENDIX C – Production Schedule APPENDIX D – 2025 Noise Management Plan   The consultation is open from Tuesday 4 November and will close at midnight on Tuesday 2 December 2025   Community engagement sessions will take place on Wednesday 19 November.   If you would like to comment on application: SWKEVE000935 and take part in the online consultation, please visit:   www.southwark.gov.uk/GALA2026   If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.     Kind Regards, Southwark Events Team Environment and Leisure PO Box 64529 London SE1P 5LX 020 7525 3639 @SouthwarkEvents APPENDIX A - SITE PLAN weekend 1.pdf APPENDIX B - SITE PLAN weekend 2.pdf APPENDIX C - PRODUCTION SCHEDULE.pdf And just to add that councillor Renata Hamvas chairs the licensing committee.
