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.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
