Our chums over on the Nunhead forum are getting all excited about this.


(I can tell they're excited. you know, there are three whole posts on the thread!)


It's a programme by Americans in Nunhead, for other Americans in Nunhead, for non- Americans in Nunhead, and even possibly of interest to non Americans not living in Nunhead. It's on Resonance 104.4 at half past ten of a Monday evening.


Now this programme has been what you might call an Education to me and my Lawrence (not, unfortunately, to Mr Buttons. He doesn't trust the radio since Lord Haw Haw and will only make an exception to listen to The Organist Entertains on Radio 2, and sometimes I do catch him having a sneaky listen to the Craig Charles funk and soul show over on radio 6 digicle.) Anyways myself and Lawrence, if we ever saw an American in Nunhead before we heard this show, well, we'd shove them straight on the 78 and tell them "Tower Hill's thataway, pardner!".


Well, now we know, some of them actually live here, would you believe! Real ones!


And if anyone doesn't listen to Resonance, well, I can heartily recommend it. At first I only listened to my pals on Calling All Pensioners, but now I listen to lots. Some of it is a bit avon guard for my tastes- you know, whole programmes that sound like a mobile phone ringing you from someone's trouser pocket. Dear me, I can't get on with that. I'm in me 70s! But some of the rest is smashing, specially the Make Your Own D--n Music Show with Bob and Roberta Smith.


He's really good, but she's a bit quiet. Probably can't get a word in edgeways, poor love!


(Mr Buttons is looking over me shoulder to check me spellins. he says he knows how she feels- the sauce!)


ttfn!

    • There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...
    • So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
    • I thought I noticed the shop being redecorated the other day when I passed. Also the old Romeo Jones had some works going on, I think 
    • Leon came to sort out a lighting issue for us last week.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and gave clear, detailed advice about how to avoid in future.  Would highly recommend him.
