...I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to whoever it was that found my son's cuddly monkey (not a real one!) on Upland Road and kindly placed it on a wall. I had to send my poor husband out to walk the streets of ED to find it otherwise a nightmare bedtime was on it's way. Hopefully you read this.

Reminds me of my youngest daughter when on holiday in france. She was already entering her "psycho" two year old stage when she lost her little scrap of cloth that was permanently pressed against her nose whilst thumb sucking. Cue 11 days of misery on a campsite, when a restaurant owner arrived asking of our whereabouts. He'd found this scrap (about 4" sq) and driven 4 miles to return it to us, couldn't and still can't believe it. Angst over! How fluffy is that?

When we went away for New Year we packed nine million bags-worth of things, but forgot our son's irreplaceable bunny. I'll never forget the look of utter outrage and betrayal on his face at bedtime when I hopefully offered him a replacement bunny hastily sourced from a friendly child.


I was a long time sitting down to dinner that night.


So very glad that your cuddly monkey found its home on time!

    • I think you have been very kind towards the the council.  And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful.  I know it is a very controversial opinion   but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built.   The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in.  In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order.   I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed.   It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to.   Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse.  And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls.
    • Our refuse collectors leave rubbish all the way down the hill after they have emptied the bins. Everywhere you go you see rubbish everywhere. On some days walking through the high street in Peckham can be truly depressing with plastic bags and paper blowing around everywhere, Peckham and other streets deserve better than this Council complacency. I'm sure it wasn't so bad back in the day. Councils everywhere, faced with cuts in revenue, must have decided a long time ago  that litter picking  and rubbish collection were not so important. I think a clean, tidy environment makes everyone feel better about their home environment. Btw, I'm ok with a few weeds. They are just wild flowers in an inconvenient place.
    • Have just enjoyed watching 100s of cyclists go past on Peckham Rye west. Couple of penny farthings, lit up bikes and music too!
    • This thread has got weird, people asking what the kids look like that are terrorizing people and getting shut down points to one thing
