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)

    • So. Last night Royal Mail customer service kept me waiting a quarter of an hour with no indication of the wait time,  then closed the service down at 6.30pm. This morning I waited half an hour to speak to someone.   First they told me to make a claim via their website, then reluctantly agreed they could do it on the phone. They required both my and my daughter's name, addresses, postcodes and email addresses, plus my phone number. WHY? THEN they told me a CHEQUE for £9.85 would be sent to my address!!!!!! No compensation for everybody's wasted time, just the Special Delivery (hollow laugh) fee back. I did point out a) we weren't in the Stone Age and b) this cheque would probably either never arrive or be stuck for months in the local delivery office beneath mounds of other mail which never gets delivered. I felt very sorry for this guy. I hope he is well paid. What a terrible job to have. So now, assuming I ever get the cheque, I will have to queue up at the Post Office to pay it in. Having already queued up to post an item for a non existent service in the first place. GRRRRR. Can I be bothered to write to the CEO? No, probably not. I'll just get some bland standard letter back sent by some other poor person with a terrible job.
    • Thank you for the warning. There have been instances of vulnerable people targeted by scammers in this area, so we do need to be mindful of our neighbours.
    • Lots of very good places around Rye Lane. I'd say there are the long-standing great places like Levan, Mr Bao, Oi Spaghetti, Peckham Bazaar and (towards Bellenden Rd) Begging Bowl, Made of Dough, and Artusi.  And then the newer places that we've been enjoying include Janda Diner, Taquiza, Hausu, En Root, Messy Mary (currently at Copeland Social). We are spoilt for choice really! Depends what you're looking for - some of the above are cheap and cheerful, others much more fancy
    • Yep dangerous and worrying and plenty on here seem to either not grasp that or are perfectly ok with it - which is more worrying you think cancerian or any other reform voter will be any happier if reform win? Sure, just like Brexit they will laugh at the lib-tears but as reality hits, nothing but more anger and complaints   And as we see with Brexit and Trump, finding out too late doesn't solve anything
