Dear admin


My friends and I are trying to organise a street party on 2 June - we are all volunteers and are putting substantial amounts of our time and effort into doing this. We get no gain of any kind out of it other than a warm glow from helping people to get together.


We try to advertise this on EDF so that people know when to turn up.

We ask for the loan of gazebos to help keep those people dry.

Both of things are essential and we are trying to use the forum as a community resource to help us get the message out to people.


You move both threads to bits of the forum which get maybe two and a half hits a week. Why?


On the other hand, we could start some kind of artificial argy bargy that incidentally publicises the street party and asks for the loan of gazebos. You'd probably allow us to keep that in the main threads. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Could you possibly move our gazebo request at least back to the main drag?


thanks

You do know why there is a wanted section and a whats on section don't you?


Appreciate you are doing something off your own back but you want something and you are organising something that's on.


136 views for the "gazebo wanted" thread in 2 days is rather different to your "2 and a half hits a week. "


The whats on post has nearly 500 views - that is no small amount


If I was admin I would find the tone of your post in here a bit pissy (no matter how much I support what you are doing)

150-odd views of 'gazebo wanted' by now, but no gazebos on offer - clearly the EDF is not read by people with gazebos.

Lost cats, yes, dodgy plumbers, yes, but no gazebos.


I am also puzzled. Can you please un-puzzle me.

I thought I'd posted this in a section which said 'Ask Admin'. I get a reply from you. Are you Admin?

Sure


Admin is increasingly busy and if you are waiting for him to answer you could be waiting a long time. I replied because I'm a nosy ex admin assistant an thought your post was pitched in a way unlikely to elicit sympathy


I can't help with the lack of local gazebo action but I hope the event goes well (and you get the weather)

I've not really looked into it but as long as we act accordingly i.e. take down anything that we are made aware of that is obviously defamatory, and/or comply with the authorities requests as soon as we can, then we should be fine.


So no, I don't think it'll make a difference round here. The onus is on the individuals to stay within the law and I don't want them using the forum as a tool to 'anonymously' break the law.

      18th Birthday Venue needed

      By eastdulwichavenger · Posted

      Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore

      ‘Welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday 16th September)

      By vladi · Posted

      You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
