Snorky, you said "Lets have a community centre" and I was simply telling you there already is a Community Centre on Darrell road.

You also said "It would help if we had a "community" to stlck in it" If you believe there's not a community in the area and therfore it would be helpful to have one, how would you realistically start to create one?


[edited] I've added the following as an after-thought and out of curiosity:

Snorky, I can see from a lot of your posts that you have some issues with the current community here in East Dulwich. It would be great if you could please share with us where these issues have come from, perhaps your background and what the old community was like and what it's benefits were. It would help those of us who weren't born or grew up in East Dulwich to understand where you are coming from


Thanks


Mark

it was a nice try, Mark, but Snorky clearly isn't the the sharpest tool in the box, and seems incapable of stringing more than a few words together at a time. Though I have to say, the above posting is a cracker. Meaningless babble straight out of the top drawer.. more please, Snorky!
At the risk of getting all 'Jermaine Jackson' on yo' asses. Come on lads, handbags away, there's room enough on this forum for all opinions of the rainbow, assuming I'm not mixing my metaphors a la *Bob*'s trawling ramplings with a fine toothcomb, which I just loved ;)

It really wasn't THAT different, the bars were pubs (or shops - Inside 72). Everyone got excited when 7-11 opened and we used to buy slurpies after school, and a shop actually stayed open till 11pm!!!!!!! ;o)


The corner of Northcross and Archdale was a school!!!!!! (A nice one too, still think that's a shame).


The Curry Cabin smelled disgusting (it's lovely now!).


There was a toy vending machine outside the Newsagents opposite The Woolwich, which had a big plastic parrot in it, that spoke to passers by!


There was no market on Northcross, but the fish van was still there (for the record, I do think that market is a waste of space, and I hate the idea of pedestrianising, but that's just me).


There were a massive amount of yuppies in the 80's, and I imagine that had a forum like this existed back then, there would have been negative feelings there too..... Nothing has really changed, I swear!!!

Whilst I agree that the market isn't quite Camden or Portobello Road, you can't seriously be proposing not having it? It makes the street much more interesting over the weekend than a row of parked cars, which would be the alternative?


Is the view against pedestrianisation just because it represents change, or do people walking around make the place look scruffy?

Mr H,


I am not against a street market,if they want one in Northcross rd it should be aproper large one, not the miserable attempt that it is now.


Ibo:

Re: the mosque, I am not muslim so I am not interested in such an idea, but let me suggest you a good place for your new mosque = the ED Police Station..... ( I mean instead of it )

Thanks for the suggestion , Batdog. A much better alternative is one of the many little used churches we have in ED.

I've nothing against a new mosque in ED, minarets or not (the towers traditionally used - hopefully not, er, actually used - to call to prayer). However, from what I've seen living in a various parts of South London (and in other UK cities) local muslim communities are (more often than not) very effective at getting mosques built to suit their requirements.. but there doesn't seem to be much local pressure.


Of course Ibo is right in that most of the other churches are underutilised (everywhere!)


And I agree with Hugue n Keef etc on the market on NCR. It kinda looks looks nice seeing a few stalls when you walk through it, but needs to be larger and sell normal market stuff. All we've got at the moment are the 'extra' stalls selling fancy goods you get at larger markets.

No, you know full well Mr Huguenot that I'm not against change (unless it was turning the CPT in

to a "bar" ;-) ). I just think that if Northcross Road were pedestrianised on the weekends, it

would make driving around the area a nightmare (not that I drive), and it wouldn't be what I'd

consider a good market..... Frankly, I think a lot of those stalls sell absolute tat, or mediocre

cake at ?2.50-?3 a slither!


I don't know, I guess it's nice having something there, but I'm not too keen on what they've got...

My sister always says she gets filthy looks from everyone if she's trying to walk the dog down

there! I think the dog has as much right to be there as the pram army taking up the pavement!


I also have to say that the idea of pedestrianising Lordship Lane is insane!

    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath.
