Saw the great man himself this morning, directing the scaffolding and taking snaps. Was overcome by uncharacteristic shyness otherwise I would have gone up to him and mumbled something vaguely sycophantic. [Actually, I couldn't for the life of me remember his name.]

Stan met with the Deputy Head of St John's and St Clement's school this morning, to discuss the involvement of the children in repainting the mural. The staff and the governors, as well the children, are keen that the school should be involved. The Governors met last night, discussed the mural and were enthusiastic, having apparently been made aware of the plans through updates on the EDF!


Stan also met with Father Charles from St John's Church this morning.


There seems to be an all round enthusiaasm for the project, and plans are falling into place. Stan said he would provide me with a more detailed update on the meeting this morning and on the next steps, and I'll post the notes on here when he does.


PGC, say hello to him when you see him next. Very approachable, and a fund of fascinating stories about artists old and new.

    • 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.
