Plant theft from Peckham Rye Park

[reetpetite]

Thanks for that clarification PRM21 ,I didnt think I was seeing things (or not you might say !)are you able to tell me what happened to the 2 metal benches that were outside the cafe were they removed to make room for new wooden ones ?

[PRM21]

The metal benches were removed (not stolen!) as they were quite worn and didn't look great. There are no plans to replace these with wooden ones. The cafe has purchased more v heavy duty picnic benches that are on the grassed bit at the side of the cafe.

The idea really is to try and contain the bulk of the cafe users in the cafe and at the area to the side and not on the common to the front. This also helps with the litter.

Of course people will buy coffee/ice cream etc and go onto the common or into the park, but they are unlikely to be carting full meals around with them!

[reetpetite]

Thanks for that ,I can see the logic in that.I do occasionally just buy a coffee and bring my own lunch so I assume it will be permissable to sit at these tables then as there is nowhere esle to sit except further along which is usually shaded( I like to sit in the sun ! )

Admin, is this SE22 or did you miss lounging it?

I'm sure you didn't realise what was unfolding when you lounged the "fire at North Peckham Estate" thread, perhaps

you could move it back before EDFers start monitoring your monitoring of the general ED issues/gossip.........

A polite suggestion.

[reetpetite]

Excuse me! at least 3/4's of Peckham Rye is SE22 so whats your problem?

[FatherJack]

I really don't have a problem!

Note it was a POLITE SUGGESTION.

[reetpetite]

But why it was an ED issue so why suggest it should be lounged? North Peckham is a different issue but as the original poster said they were warning people who travelled that way to avoid it .Obviously once the situation unfolded .....

Sorry I am of course referring to the Fire in North Peckham thread !

[FatherJack]

?????? I'm not suggesting it remain in lounged, but t/f back to ED issues, would

it have been moved if Admin were aware of tragedy that was happening.

This is not me being arsey, as I said a polite suggestion. There are probably a lot of threads that should

be lounged, it seems to be causing unrest on the forum...them n us!

Who will the Admin side with? Forget that and do what's right, it's local enough! Let's not forget what it's really

about and on that note I'll comment no more on the matter.

Anyway, back to topic.

Anyone found those missing plants?

[reetpetite]

Truce?

[reetpetite]

Saw a guy picking Rosemary from the Sexby gardens does that count as theft?

[PeckhamRose]

Was she grateful?

EXCUSE ME ! but its about 45% SE22 and 55% SE15 and the benches in front of the cafe is SE15 because the cafe is SE15.....

and the Nightstalker does not differentiate so close your windows.

Oh and the run down knackered and flooding childrens 1 o'clock club is SE15.

Clunk ...penny dropping......surely not....surely the council are not that ...oh my god they are ?

[lenk]

There's a house on Uplands road I regularly pick rosemary from.

That's my confession.

OOh nice - pm me which one !
