life is so erratic (or should that read Southwark is so...?)


there's a rash of bendy alien bo lacs ones appearing around Choumert Road area

and I mean a RASH... in one patch, were there were 4 lampposts, there are now 8!

Heathrow new runway here we come...

If you mean number 6 next to the Old Man of Kent - then i am afraid that you should prepare for HELL. It is the same idiot builder and owner of the property who did the shop next to the florist and opposite Ayres. That was taken down to reveal a large hideous plastic front window for a house and two hideous plastic front doors either side. Now they have errected a metal fence, yes a metal fence on the pathway and have got away with it.


If anyone from the council is reading this they may want to stop this building work before this IDIOT takes down his green corriated screen to reveal another monstrousity. This is why the shop front is covered so by the time he finishes fucking up another nice shop front on Nunhead Lane it is too late. Between this idiot and the Nunhead Plumbers they have managed to fuck up about 7-8 shops on the Lane. I think the council should find some balls and sort it out.



ref the regeneration of bellenden road.... it was the council who actively 'encouraged' dreadful planning...

ie provided funding/links to hideous signage design/designers/recommending of dire plastic 'Dickensian' style facades etc... so Allfornun, beware the idea of Southwark "finding some balls", stepping in to prevent disasters or having any understanding what looks right and what doesn't!

    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
