Yes, in fact we could commence a "class action" against them for failing to act with due speed and diligence.

I dunno admin... I'm sure there must be a profit making organisation based on growling... ;-)

Oh benevolent dictator Sir, what was the point of writing that and pointing us to that direction if we can't have signatures anymore? And since when were all of them 'silly'? I thought mine were useful and of a public service (accepting you don't want me to say I am a Humanist celebrant of course, which I am, but that was doctored out, and then the rest of my useful signature was cut along with everyone's.
Sean may have meant that some of us choose to have a silly signature though I doubt he could argue they were all silly. I think, not that it matters a hoot, that anything of public interest should be allowed. I for one would want to use your services PR as I'm not a church goer but it would probably depend on my being able to PM you before I took my last breath.

PR - what is with the constant sniping?


To the best of my knowledge I have welcomed you at forum drinks, provided you with an early idea with a story you shared with us , and agreed with you publicly on many occassions, and disagree with others. So what's with the constant pettiness? I think you believe you are fighting some noble fight but I don't see the masses rising up behind you, so it might be worth counting to ten


The "silly" in my post above refers to "recreational" sigs such ss woof's and declan's above. The idea was to keep THIS thread for a serious discussion about non-silly sigs. People are still allowed to have sigs as you well know, but admin has put a stop on promotional sigs


[Edit: Just saw Declan point out much the same]


The councillor's sig which appears to be a problem is a useful contact number for someone who is involved in day to day running of local services - not that he gets anything but grief for his trouble. it is, on the scale of things, a far more useful service than a folk club or someones beliefs.


Benevolent Dictator - I am, unfortunately neither. Not only do I not run this place, I fail to see how the person who puts his own money and time into offering a free service to local people can be so maligned. But if I WAS the person who runs this forum, I probably wouldn't be as benevolent, on that you are correct

Sean,if you read your previous post it is a bit schoolteacherish. I know you are a moderator or whatever it's called but as you have said it's not your forum there possibly wasn't the need for your post as Admin seemed to be coping fine with it. No offence intended.


As for the quote above, and I don't know either of you, but could PR's signature may have helped her survive financially in these difficult times by bringing in some business. It may be dead out there but every little helps! Perhaps it may explain the sniping you refer to.

I know you are a moderator or whatever it's called


Forum ettiquette may be a constantly evolving concept, but i've always been of the impression that outing the moderators was extremely bad form, along with outing people's true identities. No, not against any written rules, but bad form nonetheless.



Well if you are accusing me of a breach of etiquette then it's one I'm not aware of given moderators have willingly advised that they were one when asked.May I ask where you got the impression it was 'bad form'? As for outing people's true identities, I use my real name. Why don't you? Have you a good reason not to?

    • Our camera caught two folks doing this. One of them led me to believe the delivery driver was in on it as he left the package in a very odd place that the thief (who arrived about 10 minutes after from a direction where he could not have seen where the driver left it) went straight to it and took it - but he then dumped it halfway down the next road as clearly packets of freeze-dried food for a DofE award wasn't to his liking (karma sucks!). The second time a guy pulled his bike up in broad daylight, walked down to our door, opened the box, threw the empty box down and stuffed what he had found in his backpack and brazenly waved at the camera and then cycled off. Police asked us to upload his picture but we never heard anything back.
    • I hear that Landells Road has had a spate of parcels being taken,
    • In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him
    • Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).
