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.

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!

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
