Yes, nicely summarised

Getting old and reminiscing I guess it's just part of life. The fox and I tend to stray off on tangents because it makes us happy to talk about old times and faces we miss. It's not to belittle people today making their very own memories in different places. Not in the slightest.

I know/knew quite a few people who were into things like that in the seventies/eighties, and none of them were gullible, or fools.


I don't think whatever is "wrong with the world" has anything to do with those people who are seeking peace. Far from it.


Only just seen this thread, BTW, and what a load of boring bollocks.


Things change. Get used to it. If you can't get used to it and you don't like it, move somewhere else, don't waste your life criticising the people who do like living here :)

Just to be clear. Are we talking about this guy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prem_Rawat


You're right, all sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Sue.. I seem to remember on more than one occasion yourself talking about moving somewhere else..

Why might that be if you like it here so much... ??


Many people already have moved elsewhere.

Old ? getting there .. Every day you get a little bit older and a little bit wiser.


Tired ? Never been fitter..


Why don't you post your mug shot up on here.. ??


In fact perhaps a few more should do the same..

I've got absolutely no idea who the guy in question was. Never heard of this Peace Palace in East Dulwich before.


I was talking in general terms, hence my use of the expression "things like that".


Maharishi, for example, and Transcendental Meditation, which a lot of people were into at that time, including The Beatles.


I'm not quite clear why being attracted to inner peace should be damned as being "everything that's wrong with the world".


I'm sure some of these so-called gurus were charlatans and yes I expect some of the people who followed them were gullible. It doesn't make all of them charlatans, and it doesn't make all their followers gullible. No more than Christians, for example.

Sue - quite obviously I have no problem with peace (or even meditation if that's your bag) but I do have a problem with people peddling rubbish, and the sheep-like, unquestioning nature of some people who seem to be attracted to these supposedly charistmatic people.


No point discussing the pros and cons of the whole "spiritual" thing, since you're clearly more open to the idea than I am, and we won't change each others minds on that any time soon.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
