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..

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.

      Oh give it a break.  We have an MP who makes racist comments, yet our media (and what seems like this Forum) that generally hate Labour (and loved Johnson) are just out looking for the dirt. It's a move on, nothing to see here.  Particularly if she used a letting agency.

      I don't think a single all-inclusive URL is easily doable.  When you enter a search the system presents the result without any of one's search parameters added to the URL.  So I suggest you go to https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/search.do?action=advanced where you just need to enter the address -- use SE22 8EW -- and the  Date Received start date.  I used 1/1/2025.  The three Tesco applications, all minor things, were all made in May.  The Simple search that I'd done previously had no time limit, and didn't include anything else that might have been from Tesco in the last two years. Incidentally, when I searched on the address 29-35 Lordship Lane it did not pick up the Tesco applications, which were held as 29 - 35 Lordship Lane Grrr!
