ED Picturehouse. Elitist*. (Louisa's lounged response)


Recommended Posts

Well in the 50's many people did not have a Television. We didn't .


So we went to the Cinema to see the Moving Pictures (Flicks) and Talkies..

Some were even in colour.


and after we had Fish & Chips in newspaper.(not because it was trendy) walking along the road.

No Burgers back then. No Pizza, Chinese, Curry, Takeaways.


Some Cinemas sold Hot-Dogs..


Foxy..

The world's first wireless telephone conversation occurred in 1880, when Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Sumner Tainter invented and patented the photophone, a telephone that conducted audio conversations wirelessly over modulated light beams (which are narrow projections of electromagnetic waves). In that distant era, when utilities did not yet exist to provide electricity and lasers had not even been imagined in science fiction, there were no practical applications for their invention, which was highly limited by the availability of both sunlight and good weather. Similar to free-space optical communication, the photophone also required a clear line of sight between its transmitter and its receiver. It would be several decades before the photophone's principles found their first practical applications in military communications and later in fiber-optic communications.

Most of the time I use Google links to convey knowledge of the things I already know something about.


Usually where people have asked for info I go to the trouble of investigating and pointing them in the

right direction and also learning myself.


It's in my nature to help people. Not insult them.


Where I have used Google to find info for other people I provide a link to the source of that info

to comply with rules of etiquette concerning the author of that info.


Your last post was meaningless in the context of this thread..

Just as foxy provides links to sources online pointing people in the right direction to back up his ideas and also help people learn about things (note he doesn't have to do this, it's called being kind and generous?), I feel I provide a service to people by talking the realities of certain situations they may otherwise not be aware of. Like cinema prices for example.


Louisa.

*Bob* I believe you and I have patronised this forum for almost the exact same time as registered members. I am happy to provide my opinions about all sorts of things, if only people would ask I could tell them about many things. I'm always happy to help.

There's all sorts of fad diets that might help with that.

Me too. Snorting like a stuffed pig, startling passengers on the number 12!

Heheheheheeeehaw.


*Bob*'s contribution to this thread has proper cheered me.

Just a little reminder for *Bob*. You might be 2-0 at the end of half time, but believe me, foxy and I have a star striker on the bench who's coming on in the second half and your goalkeeper better have a decent pair of gloves.


Louisa.

So why has nobody been to Peckham cinema? I rarely go, but remember taking my daughter there years ago for an occasional treat. And if I did feel like seeing a film, that's the first place I'd choose to visit.


Just to add,


ridiculing, taking the p*ss, talking bollox just to get a laugh isn't cool and isn't clever.


It's actually quite sad.

    • Andy is an absolute star. Have used him for years and he’s become a hugely trusted and valued friend as well as handyman. Always willing to go the extra mile and doesn’t cut corners, but great on pricing. Can’t recommend enough.
    • Surely you are still covered under these circumstances even if you don't have the physical licence? I can't believe you would be prevented from driving? That would be a ridiculous system. I don't recall any delays   when mine was renewed. Why would their medical department be involved if you have no medical issues? Could someone have made some admin mistake somewhere along the line?
    • Does anyone have the same problem.  I am 79 and have sent my licence renewal form to the DVLA on the 21st October 20 which they have received. I have just received a letter from them them dated 22 December 2025 today saying my licence is with their Drivers Medal Department and will be processed as soon as possible. This follows my telephone call to them after three weeks  from the October date as I had not received my licence back as per their time frame. I also followed this up mid December after finally getting through but did not get any confirmation as to what the situation was. Is this normal practice? On the 7 January 2026 I will be unable to drive as my licence has not been sent back. I have no medical issues and meet all the requirements with no problem as per previous renewals in fact nothing has changed health wise.Their the letter states if they need any more details from me, they will contact me directly. Why has it taken 2 and a half months get get this far? Is this some sort of ploy to get older drivers to finally give up their driving by making life difficult as possible.  Has anyone else experienced this. Read Medical not Medal.
    • You're being a little disingenuous here. It is simply not true that "the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum" because: -> the area the development is in isn't 2/3 storeys maximum today - as evidenced by the school on the lot adjoining the development to the south, as well as the similarly-sized buildings to the north and east.  -> the SPG doesn't preclude this type of development anyway. This "genie in a bottle" stuff is desperate barrel-scraping. Now you're raising the spectre of a 9 storey building on the Gibbs & Dandy site (the chance would be a fine thing) but also arguing Southwark is too slow to approve things and opposed to development more than 2-3 storeys!
