duh, of course I get why rimworld is funny, but I'm not about to give an explicit explanation to prove it. I found african prices funny for other reasons - seems pretty outrageous as a name for a shop, no?

A couple of years ago an African bar/restaurant opened on Peckham High Road called "The Golden Stool", although not for long as the name was soon changed.


The name was actually a translation of the Asante Sika 'dwa, the sacred Royal Throne of the legendary King Osei Tutu of the Gold Coast Empire of Ashanti.

    • From the Fundraising regulator link: "we concluded that it was more likely than not that donors could have been misled by confusing messaging or fundraising materials. This includes materials suggesting a link with a well-known national veterans’ charity, which the CIC has since confirmed it does not work with. We were also concerned about the costings in some of the fundraising materials that the CIC could not show good enough evidence for. There was also enough information available for us to conclude on balance that some fundraisers for the CIC acted in an aggressive and unprofessional way towards both potential donors and public officials."   Some of the money may make it to the people they say but there are better ways to support veterans 
    • When you say "scam", do you mean that the money collected is not going to where they say it is?
    • Currently setting up outside M&S on Lordship Lane. Def not a charity and known to be very aggressive to anyone who questions them. https://www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk/about-fundraising/resources/we-r-blighty-community-interest-company-november-2025 Be careful with them.   
    • There's a Library of Things in East Dulwich now, based at the Leisure Centre. https://participate.libraryofthings.co.uk/dulwich If you click on "Explore the Things" the things don't seem to be specific to Dulwich, so I'm not sure if every library has every thing, but there is a Rug Doctor and a steam cleaner on the list (not specifically an upholstery cleaner).
