John has dug deep and thinks there is enough in the till to fix up the sign. And he'll be putting in an entire new and improved shopfront just as soon in 2010 as the man can come and fit it.


It would obviously be daft to do the shopfront just before Christmas not least because my new book is on display in it and it would be a shame if instead of looking majestic behind glass it was instead concealing its light behind a tarpaulin.


So obviously we owe John our thanks for smartening up the frontage although it's a bit of a shame the old sign couldn't have been preserved for future generations. And we should support him by buying more books than ever, lots of mine and some by other people.

SteveO should be ashamed of himself, starting a thread about a beloved local institution only to descend into money-grubbing self promotion by the third sentence.

It's just this kind of unregulated opportunism that's got the country into the financial mire we currently find ourselves mired in.

I suggest that every EDFer go and buy a copy of SteveO's new book and insist on paying extra for an unautographed copy.

That'll teach him not to attempt his viral marketing round these parts in the future.

Isn't it refreeshing to see a thrusting entrepenurial type like SteveO, who isn't shy about getting involved and giving his latest venture the old school hustle.

It's exactly this sort of freewheeling gogetterism that will lift the country out of the financial schtuck we are presently stuck in.

I insist that we all go and buy an autographed copy of SteveO's book, but ask John for a discount because it's got scribble in it.

I mean it's worth a try and SteveO'll understand.

And it'll ensure he makes the EDF his first port of call for any future promotional activities.

Boooo, that bloody H********** is once more inflicting his vile presence upon us. It must be Bonfire night, burn the warlock say I.


But of course a Christmas Carol on Chener, 'God bless them everyone'.

Once more the bringer of joy (Manfred Mann style) and harbinger of seasonal festivites that is HONALOOCHIEB ie me *points fingers at self* is amongst us.


But as for Chener Books, a Kafka on them, let's see how they like waking up as an insect like the rest of us have done.

      Recently moved into area, suffering with plane noise, need advice

      Well at least you didn’t live here when we used to have Concorde 😂 can’t lie though, I actually find it comforting, haven’t known anything different and only realised it was a thing when a visitor pointed it out last year. It’s when the helicopters come around that it gets annoying and that used to be fairly regular too. Before the area… changed…

      GALA Festival 2024 Stakeholder Debrief

      By Ben Wile · Posted

      As long as there are other ways to offer feedback, but also to speak to the council about this matter, then 1-1 feedback to GALA is not a problem, but an additional option.

      GALA Festival 2024 Stakeholder Debrief

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      It's four bus stops away so hardly a deterrent unless one has mobility issues. Gala nor any other events organisers are under obligation to do what they've agreed to do. I'm sure if those who are serious and want to be heard will make the effort to attend the meeting. Whether their concerns have an impact or are taken seriously. Unless you can prove Gala have purposely chosen Peckham Levels as a means to deter people from attending i don't think it helps matters by implying that there's some sort of agenda or conspiracy going on. From following this thread it appears that's it's you with the agenda. Your display of arrogance in the post above ( Let's not pretend ) suggests that we're all in agreement with you.

      Education not taxation - please consider signing this petition!

      I’m Greek, and I get my information directly from Greek media. I couldn't access the Economist article, but it doesn't seem very different from what I mentioned, apart from their ideological angle—and thanks for adding the actual text. If the government involves other private educational institutions, the situation will become more complicated indeed. However, I don't think it can be compared to the Greek situation for the reasons I mentioned and those in the Economist article, which I find prejudiced and patronizing, if not racist. (But a gap between ideology and real life is something with which many Greeks seem to live quite contented) Regarding the Economist's information, I'm not sure how many private schools closed, as the Economist claims, since the law only lasted for two months. I definitely know of one school in Piraeus called Michalopouleio, but given the law's brief duration, it can't be the sole reason.  Tsipras sending his sons to a private school does create an ethical problem. However, asking him to send his sons to a public school, when public education has been chronically neglected by right-wing governments, is similar to asking leftists to give away all their money.  Additionally, the right-wing government has introduced legislation that allows private colleges and universities this year, so there's no “problem” there anymore.
