Dulwich dweller

In my opinion and experience when debating with him it's because he's a muck stirrer, disingenuous, dismissive ,evasive, condescending and selective with regards to answering quoted posts. It's almost like he's trolling for attention and to agitate.

On Grove vale. Seems to be closed now for a couple of weeks. No signs up or any notice of leaving if they indeed have. Was a decent option and consistent

Many decades ago I worked just outside Heathrow on roadworks. Seeing and hearing Concord take off overhard was something else. We couldn't hear our Jack hammers for the noise of the jets. It was also an awesome sight being so close and directly underneath it.

Not to worry.

There is a phone number that you can call if you need more Info. I'm fairly sure that I've been served later than 10 am but that was over a year ago.

I never said it was. BHF were used as some sort of work experience scheme. Because I know the brand and where they're sold. Depends who the designer is and how you want to define designer. Primark design jeans as do Armani. I mentioned the price I never mentioned the brand.

My MP was helpful when we were forgotten about in the Gardens/ Kelmore grove for weeks on end. That was a few months back. After the service getting back to regular deliveries for a month or two it has now gone backwards again. Our postman said that our round is being adversely affected again due to a shortage of staff.. They deliver parcels daily but not letters. Time to have another email with my MP I think. Ellie Reeves was very helpful the last time we were left without deliveries. She actually visited Highshore Road sorting office and took them to task after myself and other residents contacted her office.

The shops are only obliged to give 1% of there profits to their designated charity. The rest can be used for ' overheads ' and managers salary which are decent. Most staff other than managers are unpaid volunteers. In BHF's case they were using people forced to volunteer or otherwise have their benefits stopped. As for valuing items there is a website especially for that purpose. I somehow doubt charging £35 for an item that cost £40 when new will be in that online book/ directory. But yeah it's Dulwich and if you can't afford things go elsewhere. I stopped my regular visits to the Brixton branch of BHF after I offered support/ help to a volunteer who was clearly going through withdrawals and was visibly distressed. She informed me that she was a crack addict and had various mental health issues. She was forced to volunteer for BFH or be sanctioned by the benefits people. Disgusting. I have never entered one of their outlets since. It's a shitty industry in many ways is the charity sector but not if you're making a crust from it.

Do they pay rent? Volunteers generally staff these places bar the manager. It's amazing how 99% of charity shops manage to exist. I mean the ones that shift the same donated brand for under £10. They were covered in gold, diamonds and made especially for a lucky bargain hunter willing to pay near full price for secondhand goods. I mean vintage, up cycled retro etc etc.

They wanted £35 for a pair of used jeans a few weeks ago. It's definitely not a charity shop going by the price of things.

Let the moderators ďecide that. You just carrying on sniping from the sides.

Of course they do. Have said before that unless there's regular incidents of criminality or serious breaches of H&S then nothing will prevent it from going ahead. Noise and the odd report of antisocial behaviour carries no weight. The consultation is just a box ticking exercise as is the PR team used to fob people off. Waged bullshitters destined for a career as estate agents. The council work in partnership with the event organisers and not with their tax paying residents. It's why the organisers get away with what they do and pay lip service to concerned residents and their responsibilities regarding, clean up, maintenance and reinstating. Gala is a low risk event and that suits the council and old bill. Unless it out grows itself I can't see it going away anytime soon. You'd be less annoyed if the council just said bugger you we need the money and that's that. All the cobblers about sustainability, green this green that, local community, consultation, stake holders, blah blah blah. Its cobblers and insulting to the good people of our community.

There are safety issues because of mobile phones being used in cars. They are a distraction. I have no answer to your to your scenario but I don't think ending up in a ditch is as common as motorists using their phones for one reason or another. How often to you see ditches in London / big cities?

Meaning it's not much use if you're based up Lordship Lane direction and not on its route in Dulwich. The station being almost the last bit Dulwich that it serves. The direction of travel I had in mind was from Nunhead Lane where the 78 stops near the 484 stop on the Rye and heads. towards East Dulwich Station.

Forgive me if I have misunderstood you, but the 47 doesn't seem to be much help as a step in the journey to get to East Dulwich from London Bridge Yes you've misunderstood. I didn't suggest you use the 47. I'm aware of that. It has to get to ED station some how
