She never did live in Dulwich. She bought the house, the builders chopped down the trees at the back of the rugby pitch where we used to go for a sneaky cigarette during school, to make way for her garden. All for nothing, she never stayed there.


I too saw a mini motorcade a couple of weeks ago twice coming down LL from the Harvester and turning down Barry Road, no idea why. There didn't seem to be anyone except for the driver in Range Rover which was the main car. Ho hum.

Sweet Knackared Cow,


Indeed it was me. I had been over to Morrisons in Peckham, and well, you can't be too careful (sigh). This Swine Flu situation is making me very nervous, and I decided to do one great big shop on all of the essentials in case stocks run out in the stores. They do not sell high quality hoisery in Peckham so I am off into Sloane Square this morning (even civil disopedience and looting in the streets should be no excuse for wearing poor quality tights and stockings). I bought a couple of trays of Lloyd Grossman pasta sauces, a large quanitity of tinned salmon and tuna, and my body weight in dried pasta and rice and a huge amount of Evian. Those nice police men even helped me to carry it into my home!

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
