Dulwich dweller

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

I'm not confusing anything. You are borderline trolling against and making huge assumption. I’ve read this thread back three times. My view is that you'd make a good mp but a terrible liar. I've spent enough time on this thread now to conclude that you are a troll. You ignore paragraphs only to respond with irrelevant and repetitive tripe. Feel offended and virtuous as you want but you won't be getting another response from me. You're not dim, you're on a wind up and trolling. With modern tech there should be a way to render a mobile useless once inside a car. No hands free just no signal. Years ago we had a geezer pasS us on the M4 whilst having an electric shave.

Same old tricks. It's an opinion and not an attack You do nothing but attack anybody or thing that isn't on two wheels whilst willfully ignoring the streams of arseholes willfully ignoring even the most basic of highway code rules. Again last week I had lovely time with my grandson who was on half term. Up top and up the front of countless buses. We keep hearing figures on how many cyclists are being injured and framed to attack motorists. Well given the risks and lunacy that we witnessed last week daytime I'm quite shocked those figures aren't higher. The risk taking alone that we witnessed from cyclists was astounding. Hardly any on bikes adhered to red lights. Flying across junctions more in hope than knowledge that they wouldn't be hit. Bikes going between cars and buses Kerb side whilst being brushed by vehicles. I'm not talking about your average arsehole that's pulling wheelies whilst trying to negotiate traffic. I'm talking about people that are probably full of good intentions and conscious about the environment but they are a danger to themselves and their immediate surroundings. You don't tailgate buses and Lorry's who's driver aren't aware of there presence. Climate caring or not common sense and caution needs to be applied but I see little of it. I saw little of it when I cycled myself. I do not drive and haven't done in decades. I was keen cyclists until I moved back to London. In my experience for all the good conscious cyclists there is you get far to many bad/ lazy ones. There was some bonkers stuff witnessed last week alone.

It's normal procedure to all of a sudden cut back on affordable homes or social,housing obligations. All housing is affordable if you can afford it,The developer pays the council an ' agreed ' sum ' towards social housing elsewhere. Often miles away from the new yuppie hutches and buy to,let's that are advertised as business ventures. As with the new Heygate and most other new builds it will be advertised in glossy estate agent magazines overseas and sold off plan before the project is even completed. It stinks but the corruption is rife amongst the developers and councils. Its just another episode in the mass social cleansing of London.

Fair enough. I got it mixed up with 47. 78 passes Tooley Street at the other en It doesn't take long to get to Peckham because it literally cuts through Peckham. I understand why you go via the elephant albeit a tad longer to do so. I had the 484 in mind to carry on your journey from Peckham Rye but only if you're based near East Dulwich rail station.

Not with an ebike it isn't. Still condescending I see.

The 78 from London Bridge to Peckham Rye is a much quicker route than going via the Elephant and Camberwell.

Yes I have read your posts otherwise I wouldn't be replying. You said it doesn't sell stuff that you want and that you hope it closes down. Two separate sentences. I'm not Imply that you want it closed because it doesn't provide for your needs. So the occasional lack of staff on tills and having to wait ( another posters observation) is reason enough to want it gone? You can self serve most of the time. FFS? Now now.

Park life.

Luckily I'm at the bottom of the Rye in the Gardens so fortunately not too put out by the noise. I doubt it's very pleasant if you live closer. My issue is about the councils seemingly underhand way of communicating and dealing with local residents concerns and opinions. Basically these type of events go ahead regardless. That to me is a bit snide, dishonest and not how a council should treat its residents. There's a fair bit of damage done to the park and all for the benefit/ profit of a private company and PR consultants/ professional bullshitters.

I asked why you go in given that you'd rather it closed because it doesn't provide for your needs. I have never seen the till not being manned, ever.There are also self service checkouts. Many of the brand sweets and crisps are smaller in size. I guess that's why they cost less to buy.
