  1. I believe the answer is a high st has now become any road which has shops banks and provides such facilities for shoppers. Oxford street is not Oxford high street are you saying it's not a high street? Bizarre and yes pedantic.
  2. NO this is a high street High street noun British noun: high street; plural noun: high streets; noun: highstreet; plural noun: highstreets the main street of a town, especially as the traditional site for most shops, banks, and other businesses.

  6. Sorry to hear this, scum bag burglars. IMHO Alarm systems are a must have. Wireless dial up ones are pretty cheap these days I paid a few hundred and installed it myself really anyone can do it the bell box can just go high up near the front door even if it's ripped off the internal dialler calls the number you program in. I?m away for weeks at a time so it dials my neighbours first, they?re happy to look out while I?m away. For me the worst thing is turning up at a ransacked property I?ve had that a few times. When the alarm goes off the burglars don?t hang around. I also installed two IP cams inside networked unlike cctv, I can access live and recorded video anywhere in the world over the web they record on movement and will send me an email, also a couple of hundred quid and just plugged into a router. No brainer for the peace of mind!
  7. For all those who are cursed with the lovely Heathrow aircraft noise .. Be prepared get out the VASALINE .... (I know it?s not really going to help but WTF anything is worth a go) ? Soon the news will be coming to us where the sun don't shine .. Yep East Dullwich. For the benefit of those (happy to deafen us), going to where the sun does shine. Yes folks very soon. Our brilliant home grown 21st century minds (you know the ones ?the geniuses? who fix the tube signals & escalators in the end, set the pricing for the trains & maintain the signals in the end, those masters of maintenance of the roads designed to kill pedestrians, destroy cars & bikes, those who ?manage? the NHS for their own and their mates benefit above humanity) Yes they are going to decide where we get a new runway. Q. Will we get a two day debate in parliament? A. Not a F$%^^&&&* chance ? The decision will affect us, for the rest of our lives. Unless you live on Chesterfield Grove with the benefit all the cover noise, delivery lorries and people shopping and parking etc For the rest of us the madness is going to be much LOUDER and more ?.. often ?.. OFTEN ?.. often ?.. OFTEN ?.. often ?.. OFTEN ?.. often ?.. OFTEN ?.. often ?.. OFTEN ?.. often ?.. OFTEN ?.. often ?.. OFTEN ?.. often ?..

People go and buy a house in Chesterfield Rd and shoppers try parking in Chesterfield Rd ,,, absolutely incredible for the life of me I really can't believe it. I CAN'T ! I mean you go buying a house on Lordship Lane where once you were surrounded by fields and sheep ?? and then out of nowhere they build a high street with SHOPS and Busses people ! An absolute disgrace unbelievable. Fazer *shakes head in disbelief* .. ummmm My sympathy goes out to everyone who has bought a home on Lordship Lane to find their lives disrupted by the shops shoppers and everything else that comes with buying a home on Lordship Lane. It must be awful absolutely AWFUL ?. You poor poor things?? Look on the bright side if you get used to it you could move to a home on the Kings RD I think (actually I may lobby them) Southwark should make Lordship Lane busses only and divert all other traffic down Barry road. That?s what they did to Rye Lane it killed all the shops all the traffic and all the well almost everything it?s become trendy trendy now it?ll probably get busy again .. so that as a solution to stopping shoppers on Lordship Lane may only last 30 years ????? But that would probably suit many home owners on Chesterfield etc.. What to do What to do What to do What to do .. Any brilliant ideas DulwichFox ?? you know I meant Grove not Rd .. but it's not really a Grove is it :)
  11. Imagine if this was a "housing association" development. It would be several floors higher as ugly as sin and be backed by the local politicians and planners to the hilt! The local objection would be buried. Double standards. Planning joke!
  12. James I disagree in London it's the planning. Outside the m25 you may be correct.

Planning rules should be designed clearly to remove confusion and fantasy.
  14. There's little they can do. Other than give you false hope. The planning system is, not fit for purpose. Too vague too political and more complex than is required. Its all about job creation.
  15. Chicane Southwark. Is it me? I regularly drive from Lordship Lane to London Bridge via Woolworth Rd. I can't remember a time in the last 15 years where there were NO road works. It's around 5 miles and every 1/2 mile currently there appears to be some form of works traffic lights bus stop renewal lane restriction pavements curbs Elephant it a nightmare it constant. I would guess that route has had over ?20-40million spent on it that 5 miles so between ?4million and ?8million a mile! YET the road surface is an absolute disgrace I saw a cyclist hit a pot hole and go flying on the Woolworth rd. I've had a couple of buckled wheels on my car. WTF as Southark doing ?? This is complete madness. Will there ever be a time when the works are finished ? Will there ever be a time where the roads flow and there's no tail backs at midnight at some point between lordship lane and London bridge ?? Last night it took me 45 minutes to drive from Moorgate to Lordship Lane ! 45 Minutes at MIDNIGHT !!! This is MADNESS !!!! UTTER MADNESS !!!! EVERY road ever intersection including this one has become a Chicane Chicane Chicane Chicane Chicane Chicane Speed BUMPS and Chicanes costing millions to build and millions to maintain. We are living in one of the craziest boroughs in London .. Utter madness ... This junction is just the latest in their grand plan to drive us all insane. And we all know in a few year all the bumps and chicanes will be removed .... BONKERS !
  16. Road junction madness. Resurface Rebuild Renew When its not broken. Spend spend spend other peoples money. Waste waste waste time and money. That's the Con Way to con con con. Now we just need to put a tune to it.
  17. There are only two ways of telling the complete truth--anonymously and posthumously. 1. M&S decided to appeal their decision. 2. See one of my previous posts.
  18. I thought I'd made my position clear.? The planners only care about keeping their jobs so they string everything which is even slightly contentious along even when it merits the ok. The result is the proc is slow it results in fewer homes or homes which are not extended to their full potential. The Iceland site is easily big enough to accommodate the extra floor and YES every new home built helps. The political angle on planning is imho a disgusting circus side show which often raises hopes wastes peoples time often costs them and us the local tax payer money it becomes a political game when it should serve up more/better homes as I explained local MPs user it as a way to get votes regardless of the needs or facts i.e. even if it meets the planning guidelines, they win either way so they get stuck in regardless. All in all a disgusting waste of time money and effort. A Circus!!!
  19. DF Your old-fashioned ways mean you no longer respect others?
  20. Like I said the planning system is to keep planners in work and give local politicians a way to raise their profile and garner votes. The planning system's primary purpose is NOT creating new homes or making homes which push out to their full potential. It does the opposite it reduces housing stock and makes homes small. It's a shambles. Run by clever people for their own benefit. We're the mugs... Who are sold a fairy tale. Good job planners and local MPs. Lol
  21. Imho 1. Vague and wishy-washy. Set back who really cares they're still going to get the extra floor with our without the setback. 2. Lol really laughable. 3. Lol really the same all over London and every mega city in the world. Hot air padding nonsense. Proof the planning system is not fit for purpose ie creating homes,, only fit to keep people in work. Ie Great job creation for the planning department If you buy a home backing onto a high street what do you expect? Farcical nonsense.
  22. Contract God. He's apparently able to perform miracles and for free. Southwark only make things worst and charge ?250,000.
  23. I've had 60 letters through my door in the last couple of weeks. :( ;)
  24. We've been ripped off by Sainsbury?s Dog Hill for years could do with proper competition. It always amazes me the French chain Monoprix ?I was working in Paris last week? they stock almost everything on 1/8 the floor area of Sainsbury?s and never appear to run out of stock. Every time I shop at Sainsbury?s there?s always something they don?t have it?s just like shopping a Lidl ? Let?s have a Monoprix on LL. It would make M?S and Sainsbury?s etc look a joke. But then the French don?t want to get involved in all the planning BS in the UK ..
