The article has a slightly warped sense of local geography. Not only is the Brick House bakery "on the borders of Peckham" (I'd say it's pretty much slap bang in the centre of ED) but Bellenden Rd apparently stretches all the way to Queens Rd. Really? And as for Nunhead, it's a mere "outpost of Peckham". This smacks of someone looking at points on a map rather than someone with a genuinely interesting view on an area.

Well Peckham High St is just a continuation of Queens Rd, so it's almost right. It's probably the most factually correct sentence in that joke of an article.

.... and Queens rd. continues on to the A2 and Dover.. and they don't have a Waitrose in Dover.

so the people there will be pleased there is a Waitrose opening just up the road.

    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
