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!

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.

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 !

?????? 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.


Original thread"fire at North Peckham Estate"

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 ?

    • Both notoriously “lovely” people to spend any time with or worse, serve 
    • No, just no.  Zero tolerance does not mean we expect zero crime but that we do not accept a standard level as normal and unavoidable. For those who have suffered such “minor” crimes, myself included having had my house broken into,  it is clear from the lack of action that they are considered “acceptable”’. Once small crimes become known to be ignored, it changes where and how we live.     
    • Lloyd Weber and Cilla Black were supposed to leave when Blair got in, but didn't
    • You can't have zero tolerance unless you live in a fascist/police state.  Sadly it is something you have to accept in a democracy.  There has always been crime, even in North Korea, the Soviet bloc, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge etc.   The discussion point is how big a police force we need and capabilities, punishment, and building communities.  And how much we are prepared to pay in extra taxation. Even in the good (economic) times there is crime.  And crime under both Labour and Tory governments. I do not accept that phone thefts and parcel thefts are just statistics.  Police have to prioritise what they do, we might not agree with it.  And most criminals are multi-tasking, moving to where the best return is considering the risk of being caught. And there has to be a market, someone somewhere needs to buy a stolen product (I never buy off Gumtree). A starting point would be to decriminalise all illegal drugs, but that is definitely for a separate Lounge conversation, interesting discussion paper here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/105520/1/A. Stevens - In defence of the decriminalisation of drug possession in the uk - PPDF.pdf Did you watch any of the series of Peaky Blinders?  This was a very popular series that glorified gang crime and violence.  Funny (ironic) that may enjoy films and TV that does this.  Although only the first series had any historical accuracy in it,  Criminal gangs were around before and ever since.
