Was that the one in Montague Place/ Montagues Street?


I used to go in there and try on hats, then look in the mirror and laugh my head/hat off until they asked us to leave

Thanks for starting this post dbboy and what a great photo of the now Primark store in Peckham. I remember it and the C&A store.


Personally, I love BHS in Lewisham and Croydon (check out their home wares not just the clothes, although they do some great swimwear and gifts) although some of their space is for Dorothy Perkins and Wallis and the men's section have other named sections inside the store so wonder what will happen to them if BHS goes? Also noticed over the past couple of years that the Lewisham branch don't have enough staff on the checkouts.


Hope the Lewisham branch don't lose their caf?/eatery to the food section if it comes.

      Cyclist visibility

      By Angelina · Posted

      If a pedestrian gets hit by a bike, it can be very serious. All it takes is someone not spotting a cyclist coming up at speed.    Clearly, no one wants a collision. so let’s just make it easier to be seen and for everyone to be safe. Bike lights (front and back), helmet lights, reflective strips on your backpack, high visibility clips on the ankles, wrists, lights on your spikes… it’s not hard and it shouldn’t be expensive. I’m just wondering if cyclists haven’t yet adjusted to the darker evenings and don’t actually realise. Perhaps cyclists don’t drive but would benefit from doing so and seeing what it’s like from a drivers point of view.  All cars had lights on.  One of the Boris bikes didn’t, it must have been broken as I thought they were automatic.

      The other thing is that the money the council makes from the festival is not spent in the local area, whereas money made from events in other parks are. Renata Hamvas would have to approve any change to the premises licence before the events team can consider a license for the proposal in the current form. There needs to be an organised local pushback this time, to at least stop that second weekend being granted. I am thinking along the lines of a door to door petition. There are local elections next May. Lot's of opportunity to make this an election issue for impacted wards around the park. Just need to be orgaised.

      Dulwich Leisure Centre - cold showers today - update

      yes.. I think it has. I prefered it when Everyone Active had the contract..and an additional benefit was being able to acess other EA gyms across London. Plus I think the equipment in the gym was of better quality.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      Mad that on a thread about the telegraph (and are we saying they  are a paragon of reporting? Are we?) it just happens to be the bbc and only the bbc copping the flak headnun - I’m not sure your point about despicable people “hanging themselves” holds up in a world where despicable people appear to be taking over in so many places  for too long, these people have been given equal airtime to normal people, creating a false equivalence - the result being a lot of people seem to think “well if one person thinks smoking is bad for you and one person thinks it’s good for you, who am I to say who is right and wrong”
