Hello Hanay008, you didn't put a question mark at the end of your thread title, so I read it with a slightly rising intonation.

I even mentally suffixed it with the word 'Boy'.

I know you really intended it as a question, but then did you?

Brian Eno once went to the trouble of having a lot of cards printed and I've just remembered they were called Oblique Strategies.

Anyway one of them said 'Honour thy mistake as a hidden intention'. You would appear to be fimiliar with work of the randy polymath, who if he'd never done anything else had a hand in creating Virginia Plain when he was in Roxy Music.

Garagey electronic pop at its finest.


But to get back on topic, you're in a good part of town, but feel freee to visit Peckham during daylight hours.


Was going to edit the extra 'e' from the word 'free', but decided in the spirit of Brian Eno's working methods to let it be.

Hanay


I totally feel safe here, I think like anywhere in London you have to have your wits about you but I have never felt saver living anywhere else..


I def would avoid peckham high street on your own past midnight but other than that its a very colourful and vibrant place.. I feel safe during the day there for sure..


Only thing I really worry about it ED is break ins whilst I am at work but 1 year on and (touch wood) it hasnt happened..

Have lived in ED for most pf my life and feel very safe. When I had dogs,would take them for a walk around 1 am for at least 30 mins. Most roads feel very safe but I would be wary about walking near Peckam Rye very late at night, do not know why - it is probably just me.

Apart from witnessing Guys charging down Peckham High Street with Baseball Bats 2/3 years ago and seeing something (fairly) similar in Clayton Road and seeing 2 totally seperate incidents in Melon Road (r.i.p) near The Junction of Rye Lane/High Street involving mobs with bricks targeting the Police its been pretty uneventful.


Anyway "crime happens everywhere"--I heard , for example, that 2 Rabbits were stolen, recently, in The Outer London Suburb where I live so that prooves it, innit..B)

    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
