Not exactly a break in at Dulwich Hospital, given the empty site is not accessible from the hospital. Surprised it's taken travellers so long to try this - absolute disgrace how long it's been 'empty'. I seed-bombed* the site a few weeks ago, just to add some colour and life to the place. Even if they do start building the new school / health centre next year, it's been a shocking waste of space for far too long and a huge administrative bureaucratic b*lls-up.

Agree with that, unfortunately this is Southwarks way. They did a similar thing with the site of the demolished Elmington estate flats. Left acres of land empty for more than a decade.

I am told that one large white caravan and a white van did get onto the site and were there overnight, and that this morning one of the occupants could be seen emptying a bucket/bowl of liquid onto the ground beside it. However, as at 10.20 a.m. it seems that both vehicles have now moved, although it's not clear whether they are now on another part of the site, or whether they have left completely.

That "horrid little tree" was planted by the the children of goose green school and the friends of goose green. It is a living Xmas tree and had to be a young specimen, like any other tree planted, it shall grow!

The children are all very proud of it and look forward to the now annual Carol singing event round it in December.

Thats's lovely for the kids. People are allowed to find it horrid though, doesn't make them chail murderers.


Personally I have no idea where this tree is.


From memory the squatters were actually a bunch of middle class kids playing at being alternitive. Not sure there was any actual housing need involved.

Sorry to go all Louisa/Foxy on yo ass but that squatter thread has made me miss the good ole days. I even yearned for Hugenuts to be back among us albeit for a fleeting moment ;-)


And some of the posters that are no longer with us, Moos, Crystalclear, Shambles, Bagpuss...all so sad ;-(

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
